There are certain elements of the Left right now that in this patriotic environment have become close to functionally insane. This story that you are referring to is flowing from this element, and now making the rounds as a trial balloon.

The goal: to lay a framework for accusing our own government of allowing the September 11 attack to happen, if not being an actual participant. The Northwoods scenario will be used as an example showing this can happen.

Here is one source already setting up this connection. The home page here is kind of a hoot as well, from the full-bore, spit-when-they-talk, hard-core Left. Go ahead, follow a few links. It's educational to bathe in this crap for a while. This is not some nutcase working out of his basement. This is the Far Left in full cry.

I found a number of other examples of attempts to connect Northwoods and the WTC attack. Most of them, fortunately, WERE from nutcases working out of their basements.

Let's see where this goes from here.
