Eleven enduring mysteries of 9/11

From RT.com

Today, as the world pauses to remember the eleventh anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks on the United States, it is also important to remember the inexplicable things that happened – and didn’t happen – that tragic day. After all, 9/11 is responsible for diminishing hard-fought US civil rights, as well as triggering wars around the world.

The glaring question is: Why did we allow the people who had the most to tell us about Osama bin Laden to acquire more frequent flier mileage? There remains the possibility that the terror mastermind communicated with at least one family member before the attacks.
