A lot people will say, "power" but to me that holds no water. Bush is already the most powerful man on the planet. You can't go up from the top.

Some say "money" Bush, his family and most of the white houses inner circle are already swimming in more cash than they could ever spend.

In the end what anyone in a high up powerful position stood to lose is far greater than anything they could gain. If what they did were discovered they would be shot and their family name would forever live in infamy. Every kid in America learns who Benedict Arnold was, anyone caught carrying out a 9/11 like plot would forever be remember by the people of this country as a villain.
