New Poll
This poll is surprising, to say the least:
On the eve of a Republican National Convention invoking 9/11 symbols, sound bytes and imagery, half (49.3%) of New York City residents and 41% of New York citizens overall say that some of our leaders 'knew in advance that attacks were planned on or around September 11, 2001, and that they consciously failed to act,' according to the poll conducted by Zogby International. The poll of New York residents was conducted from Tuesday August 24 through Thursday August 26, 2004.

Despite the acute legal and political implications of this accusation, nearly 30% of registered Republicans and over 38% of those who described themselves as "very conservative" supported the claim.

Awesome. Great blog. Keep it up. I had no clue about this at all.
Well, this poll result makes sense if you define "knew" rather broadly, as meaning "could have known with the exercise of due diligence, as determined on an ex post facto basis." This is the way a state court would construe "knew" in a case involving an out-of-state corporate defendant, for instance, so there's no reason ordinary people can't use this standard with respect to government officials.
If a group calling itself 911truth.org commisioned such a poll but did not release the questions, it's safe to assume the questions were deliberately misleading.
