Politics aside, how retarded do you have to be to think that would happen? What human would think "yeah, let's have this happen just so we can use it to attack another country"The PATRIOT act gave the United States government nearly unlimited power when it comes to certain facets of control, such as surveillance, investigation, prosecution and punishment. The PATRIOT act could never have passed if 9/11 never happened, as there was simply no justification for the government to have that much power outside of the bounds of the courts. Im not suggesting in any way that the government helped plan 9/11, but if they knew it was going to happen, and they knew that the PATRIOT act could be passed with little or no difficulty because of it, I could see how a argument linking the two can be made.
