Texas Republican questions US role in 9/11 attacks
A Republican's campaign for governor of Texas has tumbled after she raised questions over the alleged involvement of the US government in the September 11 terrorist attacks.

Debra Medina, a pistol-packing nurse and home-schooler with close ties to congressman Ron Paul, told the Glenn Beck Show that there were "some very good arguments" that the federal government was involved in bringing down the World Trade Center on September 11.
"I don't have all of the evidence there, Glenn," Medina said, when asked about the attacks. "I think some very good questions have been raised. In that regard there's some very good arguments and I think the American people have not seen all the evidence there."
She stopped short of stating directly that the government was involved in any way, and said, "I am not going to take a position where I think that questions have been raised and they are not answered."
Led by Osama Bin Laden, al-Qaeda is believed to have carried out the attacks on the World Trade Center in New York. Fifteen of the 19 plotters of terror attacks were Saudi nationals.
Osama was raised in an elite royal family in Saudi Arabia, who disowned "the black sheep" al-Qaeda ringleader in 1994. The Bin Laden family also shared a long history with the Bush family, but it culminated in the tragic events of September 11.
The 9/11 terror attacks paved the ground for former president George W. Bush to dispatch the army to Afghanistan and Iraq and initiate two unpopular, costly wars that continue to the day.
Medina's remarks created a storm of fury in Texas with her opponents, Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison and Governor Rick Perry, quickly criticizing her and questioning the legality of her campaign, The Dallas News reported.
The former head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency under George W. Bush, Joe Allbaugh, also reacted to the remarks and released a statement saying: "Ms. Medina — this is nuts!"
The reactions forced her to release a statement, in which she announced her official stance on the attacks.
"There is no doubt in my mind that Muslim terrorists flew planes into those buildings on 9/11," she said. "I have not seen any evidence nor have I ever believed that our government was involved or directed those individuals in any way."
