SummaryProponents claim that the Bush administration had prior knowledge of the September 11 attacks and deliberately did nothing, or even orchestrated them, to justify wars and curtail civil liberties. The 9/11 Commission found no evidence of such foreknowledge or complicity.
OriginA central tenet of the 9/11 truth movement, gaining traction in the years after the attacks.
Claimed
  • The U.S. government had advance knowledge of the attacks.
  • The attacks were allowed to happen as a pretext for war.
  • The government was complicit in the attacks.
Evidence / consensusThe 9/11 Commission Report concluded that the attacks were carried out by al-Qaeda and that there was no evidence of U.S. government complicity or advance knowledge.
