Not really. Again, false-flag terrorism is a phenomenon that goes way past 9/11 - when you examine simple open-and-shut cases like the anthrax scare and the OKC bombing, for instance (go read about the story of heroic OKC policeman Terrance Yeakey and his suiciding) it's so obvious.
I come from a religious tradition from which I have semi-distanced myself (the Baha'i Faith) because its leaders are as corrupt and self-interested as any other's, among other reasons, but I often find that the antique beauty of the language of religious text illustrates many things wonderfully. I've often thought of the Old Testament prophet's vision of the fall of Nineveh and gotten the chills at how it might one day be spoken of Washington.
"Nineveh is fallen; who shall mourn her? All who hear of the bruit of thee shall clap thy hands over thee; for upon whom hath not thy wickedness passed continually?"
