Q: The fact that hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions of Americans and people around the world still believe such things, doesn't that actually suggest an inquiry, as much as it could achieve, would be worthwhile?

A: I think it would divert our energy from the real inquiry. The real inquiry is: in what way has American foreign policy inflamed and antagonized people all over the world to the point of creating terrorists? That's the question that should be investigated. And the other question about the conspiracy and who knew about it and who didn't do anything about it, that to me is a dead end. It's a diversion. And I think it leads us away from what we should be doing.
