TEHRAN, Iran – Iran's hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Saturday called the official version of the Sept. 11 attacks a "big lie" used by the U.S. as an excuse for the war on terror, state media reported.
"September 11 was a big lie and a pretext for the war on terror and a prelude to invading Afghanistan," Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying by state TV. He called the attacks a "complicated intelligence scenario and act."

I truly hope I'm not the only person who thinks that Ahmadindejad is a complete and utter moron!
Seriously, we do have our issues here in USA, but for another country to say that we essentially deliberately planned these attacks and deliberately allowed 3000 people to die is just assine. Maybe Iran's president would do crap like this, but I personally don't believe we would.
Yes, there were some major security issues. Why we weren't paying attention to the fact that the terrorists stayed beyond their Visa's and we didn't deport their butts, well that's a whole other issue.
I'm not a New Yorker, but I'm sure they're pretty pissed, because they lived it. I've seen ground zero. I've been there. I've stood at the fence and cried. To imply that 9-11 is like a figment of our imaginations and it didn't really happen and that the media 'faked' it (mind you this is how I perceive Ahmadinedejad's comments, I get that other's will percieve it a different way), just blows my mind.
