The REAL Story of 9/11 That Most Truthers Miss

[MinM]

‏@Gawker: A new book says the U.S. government planned to fake an airplane hijacking immediately after 9/11 http://gaw.kr/x9Eg7yo

Sort of sounds like what happened on 9/11.

From MinM's link:

Meanwhile, Delta’s operators brainstormed. To deter future hijackings, they suggested that the government, in conjunction with the FBI and the airlines, “leak out that there are Delta operators on board almost every flight and then do a fake takedown” using role players “in a first-class compartment that’s all stooges” on an otherwise regular commercial flight, said the Delta source.

A “terrorist” would attempt a hijacking before operators in plainclothes took him down “with hand-to-hand or something,” the source said. “Get that out [via the media]. Get inside their heads.” The aim was to “at least make [Al Qaeda] think twice and begin to think, “Hey, they’re on to us, there’s special mission unit guys on every airplane.”

You could have placed this in the crisis actors thread as well.

From September 14, 2001:

MEMBERS of America's elite anti-terrorist Delta Force troops will be put aboard commercial aircraft in an attempt to prevent further hijackings, said Norman Mineta, the Transportation Secretary, yesterday.
