6. There is more...
I believe that some of the "roots" of 9/11 were started with the coup de etat(forgive spelling-no flames please) against Banzir Bhutto. Radical islamists in her government and the Pakistani parliament did not like the fact that she was trying to clean up the corruption in Pakistan and the fact that even though she is a woman she was elected overwhelmingly. Members of the Taliban had converted many members of the Pakistan Parliament to a more radical form of Islam. Bhutto came to the US and met with the first President Bush and asked for help, it was not given. She was told by a member of her party that a coup was being formed and being financed by a coalition of the Taliban and Bin Laden. Banzir Bhutto was overcourse overthrown. This was outlined in a very long article that appeared in "Vanity Fair" about five or six years ago. It was written by someone (an American woman) who had gone to college with Banzir Bhutto and remained her friend.

After Banzir was overthrown, the radical Islamists in the Pakistani government came to the fore. The head of Pakistani intelligence received information from the US that Taliban camps were under survellience by the Predator satellites. He warned Bin Laden when one of the camps was to be bombed. This was all documented in "While America Slept" by Gerald Posner.
