Don't remove it. It's certainly open to consideration, and the American people deserve to know the depths to which Dick Cheney and George W. Bush went in order to deceive Congress and capitalize on the Al Qaida attack in order to enrich themselves and their friends at taxpayer expense.
I've never really bought the 9-11 Truther theories, and I still think those attacks were just coincidental in the broader scheme of things. There is plenty of evidence, including a pile from reliable and documented sources, put together by individuals as diverse as Greg Palast and Rachel Maddow, that the Iraq war was the chief objective of the Bush administration from the very beginning, and they were planning on how to deceive Congress and lie to the American people in order to invade and occupy Iraq, and then profit from the invasion.
I find it appalling that so many Americans could not distinguish between Al Qaida, a terrorist organization based in Afghanistan, and a declared enemy of the Iraqi regime, with no presence there whatsoever, and Saddam Hussein and the Iraqi regime he led. The Iraq war put billions of taxpayer dollars into Cheney's pocket, and those of his close friends and business associates. The whole affair was the most corrupt, deceitful, and evil thing that the United States has ever done, making the corruption of the Nixon administration look like Sunday School in Georgia.
I'm still not convinced that 9-11 was engineered by Bush and Cheney, though they were certainly capable of that kind of thing. But this needs to be out there with everything else.
