Entry: The Truth About "The X-Files" Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/the_truth_about_the_x_files#33212 Post contents: "it may have been the inspiration for the 9/11 attacks on the WTC" No way Kenny. The preparations for an attack like that on 911 would have taken years and not a few months. My comment was somewhat tongue-in-cheek. In fact, Carter's premonition may not have been quite as amazing as it seems at face value. Contrary to the blatant lie told by Condoleezza Rice (to the effect that no one could have imagined that hijacked planes would be deliberately flown into the WTC towers), such a scenario had been modelled by the US military many years prior and had been the subject of various emergency services drills. Carter's episode of The Lone Gunmen did, however, add some nice touches: the idea of hijacking planes by remote control (probably what did happen on 911) and the idea of using it as a pretext for declaring war on foreign dictators (what did happen).
