There are other reasons to believe Bush or someone else was behind the attacks. As you all know the planes who flew in the towers and in the Pentagon were United Airlines or American Airlines planes.
On the days leading up to 9/11 those were the only airlines who saw a rise in their put to call ratio. Put options are some sort of bet on which you bet that the stock will fall. On 6 september 3 150 put options were place don the United Airlines stock. This was more than four times their daily average. But it gets better. The next day their put options were five times their daily average. On 10 september 2001 the put options on the American Airlines stock were eleven times its daily averge.
“A measure of abnormal long put volume was also examined and seen to be at abnormally high levels in the days leading up to the attacks. Consequently, the paper concludes that there is evidence of unusual option market activity in the days leading up to September 11 that is consistent with investors trading on advance knowledge of the attacks” - Allen M. Poteshman
Insurance companies saw strange trading activities as well. Citigroup Inc. Had about 45 times the normal volume during the three days before the attack for options that profit if the stock falls below $40.
