I'm beginning to believe the same.
I used to mock the so-called 'truthers' who would shout 'steel does not melt'. Of course it can melt, and if not melt - the high temperatures from the full tanks of airplane fuel could weaken the structure greatly. But then I watched some video by Judy Wood ('Where did the Towers go') that highlighted some issues that I had never heard:
a)Each Tower consisted nearly of 500,000 tons of material (concrete, steel) - but there was little rubble left after the collapse. It basically all turned to dust ('dustified' was a term she coined).
b) There was only one metal file cabinet found in the pile of dust - and it looked like it had been melted/fried by some energy.
c) Beneath one of the Twin Tower buildings was a retaining wall (called the bathtub) to hold back the Hudson River. IF the Twin Tower building had collapsed - all 500,000 tons, this wall should have been damaged, and Lower Manhattan flooded. But the 'Bathtub' was undamaged, while the buildings were pretty much all turned to dust (with little rubble).
The cause? Don't know, and although Judy Wood refused to draw any conclusions (the purpose of her video was to present her position that neither planes, not planted explosives, could have caused what we saw - the Twin Towers getting turned into dust), but she dangled the idea that perhaps it was result of some sort of Directed Energy Weapon that we don't know about.
I have no idea, but I've come to the idea that there was more to the Twin Tower collapse than what I had previously concluded. And like you stated, a lot of bad crap certainly came out of it -- The taking away of many of our liberties with the Patriot Act, TSA, etc. And the funneling of billions of dollars into thieving hands within the Government and some of their close contacts in industry.
Like the Let’s Roll flight that crashed so hard that it disappeared into the Earth. Or the Cruise Missile that went into the Pentagon? The Stand Down order by Cheney, and GW Chimpy acting as fool as it happened in a classroom?
