You're confusing your 'ideology' with 'science'. Just because it's based on science doesn't make it true (which this new insight points out).
Your emotion on the issue betrays your self delusion regarding your own bias.

Seven CIA Veterans Challenge 9/11 Commission Report
September 23, 2007 — Seven CIA veterans have severely criticized the official account of 9/11 and have called for a new investigation. "I think at simplest terms, there's a cover-up. The 9/11 Report is a joke," said Raymond McGovern, 27-year veteran of the CIA, who chaired National Intelligence Estimates during the seventies. "There are a whole bunch of unanswered questions. And the reason they're unanswered is because this administration will not answer the questions," he said. McGovern, who is also the founder of VIPS (Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity), is one of many signers of a petition to reinvestigate 9/11.[1]"
