Benefits may accrue incidentally, unwanted, or unforeseen by the beneficiaries, and therefore benefit is insufficient in establishing culpability; but an impartial investigation necessarily will include consideration of possible culpability among beneficiary groups.

The US government has a long history of covert operations and covert policies, undertaken outside public purview or control by Constitutional institutions. Moreover, many of these operations and policies are properly described as extragovernmental, i.e., implemented by associations that are only partly based in US government agencies, but which pursue their own agendas that are often at cross-purposes with official policy-makers. One term for this is u0022parapoliticsu0022—the practice of political influence in secret by self-appointed, unaccountable groups. Both government-approved covert operations and covert parapolitical networks often have countenanced deliberate support for the rise of groups later designated to be u0022enemiesu0022 of the United States. Of the many such examples, especially germane are the decades of US support for radical Islamism in general, as well as specific US government participation in creating the network around Osama bin Ladin and in exploiting that network both as a support in achieving covert policy goals, and as an overt enemy of convenience.u003cbru003eu003cbru003eFor now we recommend:u003cbru003eu003ca href=u0022https://web.archive.org/web/20060808090219/http://ist-socrates.berkeley.edu/~pdscott/q.htmlu0022 target=u0022_blanku0022 rel=u0022noreferrer noopeneru0022u003ePETER DALE SCOTT’S WEBSITEu003c/au003e u0022ON WAR, 9/11, AFGHANISTAN, AL-QAEDA, DRUGS, OIL, IRAQ, BUSH, CHENEY, AND OSAMA BIN LADENu0022
The many past cases when states (including the US government) and state agents pursuing their own agendas have countenanced attacks on their own nationals, fabricated non-existent attacks, or even planned for real attacks and blamed such attacks on an enemy of convenience (a u0022false flagu0022), the motive being to rule by fear, provide the pretext for war, silence dissent, or achieve other political and economic goals.u003cbru003eu003cbru003eFor now we recommend readings on the evidence that the u003ca rel=u0022noreferrer noopeneru0022 href=u0022https://web.archive.org/web/20060808090228/http://eng.terror99.ru/u0022 target=u0022_blanku0022u003eMoscow apartment bombingsu003c/au003e of 1999, blamed on Chechen terrorists, were in fact false-flag terror attacks with a circle of complicity and orchestration among Russian agencies such as the FSB (former KGB).
