Oh brother..
1) Put options have already been covered - they included BUYING UAL & AAL stock.
2) What's the catch? If the Pentagon was in on it, as implied by the video, wouldn't they already know which flights would be hijacked? In any case,
on September 7th 2001, a State Department worldwide warning was updated to include the threats to U.S. military personnel in Asia. And that warning
was being circulated on September 10th. Any relation, perhaps?

3) False, Willie Brown himself has said that HE was the one who called the security people - and in any case, he was on his way to the airport when
all flights were grounded:

4) It wasn't Scotland Yard who prohibited him, but the FAA who made the decision that he couldn't fly unless the airline he was on upped their
security. Where's the catch? If the FAA were in on it, why would they be concerned about airline security?
5) A very broad statement. The two employees were stationed in Israel, the emails didn't give any specifics of the attacks (keep in mind, 2001 was in
the middle of the second Intifada), the email was passed to Israeli and US law enforcement after the attacks. And to top it off, Odigo didn't even
have an office in the WTC buildings.
6) Where's the conspiracy? Scroll down to "Sweet Charity" and you'll see what it was all about:

7) AG Ashcroft stopped flying commercial in his capacity as AG. He still flew commercial for personal travel - including a trip to Germany in August
of 2001:

8) Where's the conspiracy?
9) False, the lack of primary radar coverage in the area meant that AA77 was able to turn around undetected by ATC. IIRC he wasn't even found on the
radar until he entered Washington DC TRACON area, which was 7 minutes from impact. Very little time for anyone to intercept that.
10) Again, where's the conspiracy? UA93 had been delayed on the ground at Newark for 45 minutes (which may, incidently, have been the reason for #8 -
less chance of ground delay at Boston). Had it not been delayed, it would most likely have been hijacked at around 8:40 AM - prior to either of the
WTC towers being hit. Allowing for a liberal timetable, it would probably have made it to the DC area, its intended target, at around 9:15 - 9:30
AM.
The rest of the reasons I've seen so far are pretty much the same. Distortions, half-truths (oh the irony), outright lies, etc.
