I think I read that some former WTC employees actually remembered somewhat unusual building activities in the weeks before 9/11, but by the time they didn't really ask many questions about it. In practice it was probably completely unrelated, all I wanna point out is that for the right people, this probably wouldn't have been a huge problem.
As sad as it is, lots of people/companies benefit from wars. Haliburton & Co. are just the most prominent examples.
Bin Laden never really took credit for the attacks. What you probably remember is an ultra-low-quality video with a guy looking somewhat like Bin Laden, talking in a language you didn't understand, and a translation that really sounded like he was behind the terror attacks. But when independant experts of the language later analyzed the video themselves, they all criticized the translation given by the white house as being inaccurate and manipulative. Quotes: "I have carefully examined the Pentagon's translation. This translation is very problematic. At the most important places where it is held to prove the guilt of Bin Laden, it is not identical with the Arabic." "The American translators who listened to the tapes and transcribed them apparently wrote a lot of things in that they wanted to hear but that cannot be heard on the tape no matter how many times you listen to it.". So quite similar to Ahmadinejad's "wipe Israel off the map" quote that was also later proven to be completely inaccurate and misleading. What's interesting by the way is that even the FBI never considered him responsible for 9/11. Bin Laden's FBI wanted poster only made him responsible for an attack on a US embassy in the 90s. When a journalist asked the FBI for clarification why 9/11 is not mentioned on his wanted poster, an FBI spokesman said that this was indeed not an error, but that they really had no evidence that Bin Laden was responsible for 9/11. As for me, I don't believe that the US government was actually behind the attacks, but I don't completely believe the official version tells the full story either. There really are certain details that are quite strange, like WTC7 or the 9/11 commission. All about this commission smells like it was never actually wanted to reveal the full truth. As at least one commission member later phrased it: the whole commission was "set up to fail". If, for example, you're wondering why WTC7 is never mentioned in the official 9/11 commission report: The commission members were able to veto any sentence from appearing in the report. So IF someone really wanted to remove certain information from the official report, all he actually had to do was get one single mole into the commission. Personally, I could imagine that certain high rank people had been told very concrete details of the planned attack in advance, but for some reason they decided not to prevent the attacks, and instead even remove some obstacles that could prevent the attacks.
