1993. World Trade Center bombing, remember? During the trial, one of the bombers claimed the CIA had advanced knowledge. The diplomat who issued the terrorists' visas was CIA. It's not unthinkable that they paved the way for the bombing, purely to justify a budget increase.

You're telling me you guys are gonna fake some terrorist thing, just to scare some money out of Congress?

Well, unfortunately, Mr. Henessey, I have no idea how to fake killing 4,000 people. So we're just gonna have to do it for real. Blame it on the Muslims, naturally. Then I get my funding.
