if they didn't do the whole deed, they were at least committed by things like their 'art' student activity in the towers leading up to the crime;

On September 11, 2004, the New York Times published an opinion piece commemorating the third anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks. The article began by acknowledging that key facts about what happened that day continued to be withheld by government agencies:

“In the three years since 9/11, we’ve begun to understand that it’s possible to know what happened without knowing what happened. It’s the difference between knowledge that is both private and communal. . . and knowledge that is truly public. Some of what we need to know publicly has been provided by the report of the 9/11 commission. Other answers are lacking.”

These are extraordinary words from our nation’s newspaper of record. The suggestion that the American people should passively accept being lied to about a world-changing event by those elected to serve the public interest proves there was no intention on the part of the media to find out what actually transpired that day or to hold anyone accountable. Nearly 3,000 Americans were killed in broad daylight and an impossible explanation was force-fed to the world, yet just three years after the fact the Timescould hardly be bothered to investigate who did it and why.

If America had an honest media, there is no way the perpetrators could’ve gotten away with their audacious attack and equally audacious cover story of ’19 Arabs with box cutters outwitting the most sophisticated technological superpower the world has ever known.’ An extraordinary amount of data exists proving the official story can’t possibly be true, but the media has done its best to ignore all of it while besmirching anyone who raises any inconvenient fact as a damnable ‘conspiracy theorist.’ Surprisingly, the BBC cast doubt on the official government story early on by reporting on September 23, 2001 that five of the nineteen ‘hijackers’ had turned up alive and well in places like Saudi Arabia and Morocco, and had been nowhere near New York City or Washington D.C. on the morning of 9/11. In spite of this stunning revelation, the names and faces of the men remain permanently fixed to the 9/11 legend, and the sensational story, like so many others, was hastily discarded down Orwell’s memory hole.........more...........
