"... if the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center had succeeded, the resulting horror and chaos would have exceeded our ability to describe it. Such an act of catastrophic terrorism would be a watershed even in American history. It could involve loss of life and property unprecedented in peacetime and undermine America's fundamental sense of security..Like Pearl Harbor, the event would divide our past and future into a before and after.

Focus on the target of your OP....the Philip D. Zelikow aspect, because that is likely a strong lead, if you follow it without the other distractions.

But the duhbunkers and government loyalists and shills all believe this is a perfectly normal way to gather criminal evidence from complete strangers, and would never suspect an unsinged unburned not even smudged paper passport which just survived an explosive fireball supposedly inside the pocket of an alleged hijacker inside the fuselage of a burning aircraft.
Isn't FAITH just grand? Aren't 9-11 MIRACLES just wonderful?

Passport exterior cover
It is reported that the passport of hijacker Satam Al Suqami has been found a few blocks from the World Trade Center. [ABC News, 9/12/2001; Associated Press, 9/16/2001; ABC News, 9/16/2001] Barry Mawn, the director of the FBI’s New York office, says police and FBI found it during a “grid search” of the area. [CNN, 9/18/2001] However a senior counsel to the 9/11 Commission later claims it was actually discovered by a passerby and given to an NYPD detective, “shortly before the World Trade Center towers collapsed.”

...which may show that it was NOT flight 175, but a remotely piloted military variant of the Boeing 767, very possible a type of tanker variant...
KNOWN VARIANTS:
...E-767 Military airborne warning and control system (AWACS) version based on the 767 airframe, operated by Japan
B-767 or E-767T-T Combination military transport and tanker based on the 767-200ER with some features of the -300 and -400ER and equipped with a fuselage refueling boom as well as two underwing refueing pods, ordered by Italy and Japan
KC-767 Proposal for a refueling tanker based on the 767-200LRXF offered to the US Air Force
Military
Versions of the 767 serve prominently in a number of military applications. Most military 767s are derived from the 767-200ER.
Airborne Surveillance Testbed
The Airborne Optical Adjunct (AOA) was built from the prototype 767-200. The aircraft was later renamed the Airborne Surveillance Testbed (AST). Modifications to the aircraft included a large "cupola" or hump which ran along the top of the aircraft from above the cockpit to just behind the trailing edge of the wings. Inside the cupola was a suite of infrared seekers that were used to track theater ballistic missile launches in a series of tests. The aircraft remained in storage at the Victorville Airport in California for a number of years before being scrapped in July 2007.
E-767
Main article: Boeing E-767
The E-767 AWACS platform is used by the Japan Self-Defense Forces; it is essentially the E-3 Sentry mission package on a 767-200ER platform. Japan operates four E-767s.
KC-767
Main article: Boeing KC-767
The KC-767 was developed from the -200ER for the USAF to replace some of its oldest KC-135E tankers. Boeing's tanker was selected and later designated KC-767A. However the Pentagon suspended the contract due to a conflict of interest scandal and later cancelled it.
The KC-767 Tanker Transport, a 767-200ER-based aerial refueling platform has been ordered by the Italian Aeronautica Militare and the Japan Self-Defense Forces, which have designated it KC-767J. For the USAF KC-X Tanker competition, Boeing offered the KC-767 Advanced Tanker, which was based on the in-development 767-200LRF (Long Range Freighter), rather than the -200ER.
E-10
Main article: E-10 MC2A
The E-10 MC2A is a 767-400ER-based replacement for the Boeing 707-based E-3 Sentry AWACS, the E-8 Joint STARS aircraft, and EC-135 ELINT aircraft. This is an all-new system, with a powerful Active Electronically Scanned Array and not based upon the Japanese AWACS aircraft. One 767-400ER aircraft has been produced as a testbed for systems integration. The prototype was sold to Bahrain as a VIP transport in January 2009.
...The Boeing KC-767 is a military aerial refueling and strategic transport aircraft developed from the Boeing 767-200. The tanker received the designation KC-767A in 2002 after being selected by the US Air Force initially to replace older KC-135Es. In December 2003, the contract was frozen and later canceled due to corruption allegations.
The lead regarding Zelikow has already been pursued and made available for consumption. He scripted the event, and then covered up the truth as it's principal mythmaker.
No, proof of controlled demolition, by extension and rational deductive reasoning leads to proof of remotely piloted drone aircraft...
And in closing on this argument, I would like to offer this piece of evidence that the hijackers were NOT on the planes which hit those buildings...

"Planes hit, the buidlings collapsed. We were attacked."
That is the crux of the story.
Is it really true though..

I tire in repeating what I've already shown, from research, to prove this to be absolutely false.
There was NO "tanker variant" of the B767 in 2001. It was a proposal then...and Boeing was shopping it around, hoping for a big contract with the military. And, they got their hands slapped for some under-the-table dealings....

SO...but, IF you wish to claim this ONE GUY can cover everything, and make a complete "myth" without anyone else stepping up and saying....?
Well. That's a stretch.
You are convinced of planned demolition....yet on the othr hand (at least) are agreeing that large jets hit the Towers.
NOW...the plausibility of remotely-piloted is very low. Not only the complications required to 'modify' TWO jets, but the incredible difficulty of actually FLYING them remotely, in that manner. Heck....you've got the other camps claiming that they (pilots) couldn't even do it sitting IN the airplanes!!! (Peronally, think that's hogwash...)
BUT, feeling and seeing it from inside is far, far easier than trying to do it remotely.
No, proof of controlled demolition, by extension and rational deductive reasoning leads to proof of remotely piloted drone aircraft...
NO, it does not! See, that is illogical on many levels, since there is NO proof of the planned demo, and NO proof of remotely piloted drones.
ONLY SPECULATION.

Setting aside the bulge that some refer to as a "pod", notice, under the tail of the aircraft a small, dark circle.
On the Boeing 767-200, there is no such mark, because on the 200 there is no tail skid protector, and no avionics blade antenna at that location.
There is however, such a mark, or hole to be precise, on the tanker version, from the retracted or removed rear ported refueling boom.

and for those who'll chime in on the history of the KC-767 here, save it, since we know that such developments were under way by 2001 and that it is not outside of the realm of possible or conceivable that a tanker variant prototype of the 767 could have existed, regardless of what the official documents state.
And the result?

DESIGN
The structure incorporates new materials such as improved aluminium alloys, graphite composites and hybrid Kevlar graphite composites, which give enhanced strength, durability and longevity.
The configuration of a commercial 767 for the tanker transport role involves the installation of additional pumps and auxiliary fuel tanks together with the fuel distribution lines below the floor of the main cabin, leaving the main cabin free for cargo, passenger or both cargo and passenger transportation. The concept allows simultaneous refuelling and airlift operations or successive refuelling and airlift missions.
In the cargo configuration, the aircraft can transport 19 standard military 463-L pallets; in the passenger configuration, 200 passengers can be accommodated; and in the Combi configuration ten cargo pallets and 100 passengers can be carried.
What's more - seemingly unaware of such a possibility (tanker Boeing), a group of German Engineers, in conducting an analysis of the sheer magnitude of the fireball and kerosine smoke cloud resulting from the explosion, concluded that the amount of jet fuel on board, would have had to have exceeded, by at least a few orders of magnitude, that which would be contained in the wing-held fuel tanks of a standard Boeing 767-200 fueled for a cross continential trip from Boston to LA.

things that make ya go hmm...
especially in light of the proofs of explosives in the destruction of the buildings, a little over an hour after impact.
Could you please explain for us, in the context of Flight 175, a Boeing-767-222, the phenomenon in question (dark circle under tail)?
