America’s top military leaders drafted plans to kill innocent people and commit acts of terrorism in US cities to trick the public into supporting a war against Cuba in the early 1960s. Approved in writing by the Pentagon Joint Chiefs, Operation Northwoods even proposed blowing up a US ship and hijacking planes as a false pretext for war.
Was war based on a lie? Ask Cheney - The latest revelation of wrongdoing comes from Joseph Wilson, a former National Security Council aide, who has raised the prospect that Vice President Dick Cheney and his aides knew that the "case" President Bush made for going to war with Iraq was based on fabricated data.
Cheney Task Force Had Eyes on Iraq Oil - Vice President Dick Cheney's energy task force appeared to have some interest in early 2001 in Iraq's oil industry, including which foreign companies were pursuing business there, according to documents released Friday by a private watchdog group.

You've got to realise the government is made of individual people who's main concern is themselves, and they are not about to risk destroying their careers with something as trivial as the truth...

I'm sure you would find many people willing to "risk" their careers to expose corruption and wrongdoing.
What you won't find is people willing to "risk" their careers over complete fabrications with no evidence behind them, like the majority of 9-11 conspiracies.

But they would risk destroying their careers to murder their friends, relatives, and fellow citizens on 9/11....they would risk much more than their careers...they would risk a haunted life if not found, or certain death if they were.
Illogical.

Run until they cut you down like a dog, or stand and fight to the death.
Let's face it, the options suck either way.
At least people remember Custer, while no one has a clue who 'running with dogs' was.

No it's not, the risks the perpetrators take are very calculated, if they failed they would just try again at another time with another president they put in power.

Are you serious? How could you possibly know such a thing?
Throughout history, war planners have used many forms of deception
to trick their enemies. Because public support is so crucial to the
process of initiating and waging war, the home population is also subject
to deceitful stratagems. Creating false pretenses to justify war is often a
major step in gaining public support for such deadly ventures.

I live in reality. You know, the place where we have had whistleblowers in the government on numerous occasions. Remember Watergate, Iran Contra, Monica Lewinsky. Would you have us believe that no one has ever come forward to expose corruption?
If you would, you would be wrong.
