| The '''9/11 domestic conspiracy theory''' is a ] which asserts that ] or American intelligence agencies knew, in advance, about the ], and allowed it to happen or even helped cause it. It is not to be confused with less extreme theories that parts of the US government may have had some warning of the attacks but did not act due to error or incomplete information. | |||
| Theorists often go on to argue that Bush actually supported the attacks as they would provide an excuse to launch the ]. (See also: ]). Immediately after the attacks, ] was seeking evidence to "pin it" on enemies which were already targets of the administration: ] and ]. ] has revealed pressure on himself to participate in this effort. | |||

| Distrust of authority plays a role in the propagation of any such theory. | |||
