Let's look at the official explanation of 911. 19 hijackers conspired to take over four planes on the same day and conspired to take them down. Al Qaeda engineered and financed the hijackings in a conspiracy to attack the United States of America.
Can you imagine such an attack without a conspiracy? Could you even take seriously 18 Muslims coincidentally deciding to attack the US on a day that holds little significance in Islam or the Middle East? When they saw each other on the planes, they then randomly took actions in concert to bring the planes down, independently deciding to use the plane as weapons?
The fact is that if you accept the official explanation of 911, you are a conspiracy theorist.
Makes you think, doesn't it?
The 911 Attacks were horrible for us and our country. However, that's no excuse for completely turning our brains off. With a subject this important, rational analysis is even more important.

I'll leave the labeling such as "conspiracy" to others but, this much I know.
The former director of the CIA, George Tenet, testified to the U.S. Congress that he received the August 6th, 2001 PBD which warned of chatter from radical, Islamic groups, vowing to use commercial airliners as bombs to hit American targets like the World Trade Center and the White House.
Tenet unsuccessfully broke through the circle of handlers surrounding Former President George W. Bush who was at the Crawford, TX pig farm to alert him of the August 6th, 2001 PBD language. People like Condi Rice refused to let Tenet speak to Bush.
Think about it: the Director of the CIA was unable to reach the President of the United States? This is extraordinary. Of course, Rice denied this happened so it's a matter of faith -- who do you believe? George Tenet or Condi Rice?
My money is on Tenet.
Secretary of Transportation Norman Mineta's testimony before the 9/11 commission is most telling. Sequestered away with Dick Cheney in his undisclosed location on that day, he said the VP was regularly updated about a plane headed towards DC. An aide would come in every so often and say "the plane's fifteen minutes away" or "ten minutes away" then ask Cheney "Does the order still stand?"
Cheney replied "Have I told you anything different? The order still stands".
The order he mentions is a stand down order. All planes file a flight plan with the FAA before take-off, and if the planes veers off the course at any given time, flight controllers try to raise the cockpit, and if they are unable to set the plane back on course, fighter jets are scrambled to intercept the plane and force it to land if necessary. This is SOP, yet it was not followed eight years ago. Some one had to give Norad a stand down order to keep defensive planes on the ground.
With George W Bush hundreds of miles away in FL, who was in charge? (Well, really, all through the Bush administration, who was really in charge?)
Cheney's task force was sent to Afghanistan in early 2001 to get clearance to build a pipeline through that country. The Taliban were reluctant, so a negotiator threatened, "Either you will take our carpet of gold, or you will get a carpet of bombs". How convenient that the person behind the official conspiracy was in a country we were telling our overseas allies we were going to attack any way.
Over the summer of 2001, Dick Cheney's energy task force met in secret. Judicial Watch took them to court to find out who was on the task force and what was being discussed. What they got before an appeal closed the books on it was a series of maps dividing up Iraq's oilfields. How did they know back then we would have an excuse (manufactured as it was) to invade Iraq?
What company received no bid contracts to provide services to soldiers overseas? Who was the former CEO of that company who had to have his stock pried from his hands?
Dick Cheney was behind 9/11.
