> My question is this: has there been any in-depth investigations into the actual 9/11 conspiracy, the one more or less described by the 9/11 Commission, but done independently of the gov’t? And I mean something detailed, such as starting with the germs of Al Qaeda as Mujahadeen blowing back, the hijackers themselves, its planning, and the Deep-politics context that might bring some of this out of the shadows.

Seems like what you’re asking for is the historical info on who did what, when, and why. Some of that can be gleaned from public actions and record.

For the why, that’s a little harder on dead people. We can only go by what they’ve said and done. Recordings and writings are preferred over what someone else says they heard.

Anybody got actual info?
