Robert Fisk: Even I question the 'truth' about 9/11

It reminds me of Vietnam, the war which George Bush watched from the skies over Texas – which may account for why he this week mixed up the end of the Vietnam war with the genocide in a different country called Cambodia, whose population was eventually rescued by the same Vietnamese whom Mr Bush's more courageous colleagues had been fighting all along.

I am increasingly troubled at the inconsistencies in the official narrative of 9/11.

It's not just the obvious non sequiturs: where are the aircraft parts (engines, etc) from the attack on the Pentagon? Why have the officials involved in the United 93 flight (which crashed in Pennsylvania) been muzzled?

Why did flight 93's debris spread over miles when it was supposed to have crashed in one piece in a field?

I am talking about scientific issues.

If it is true
