"Quotable: Netanyahu says Israel benefitted from 9/11"
This is sure to provide fodder for conspiracy theorists in the Middle East:
The Israeli newspaper Ma’ariv on Wednesday reported that Likud leader Benjamin Netanyahu told an audience at Bar Ilan university that the September 11, 2001 terror attacks had been beneficial for Israel.
"We are benefiting from one thing, and that is the attack on the Twin Towers and Pentagon, and the American struggle in Iraq," Ma’ariv quoted the former prime minister as saying. He reportedly added that these events "swung American public opinion in our favor."

"Report: Israel Was Wrong About Iraq Weapons"
JERUSALEM – Parliamentary investigators have determined that Israel's intelligence services delivered an erroneous assessment of pre-war Iraq's weapons of mass destruction, an Israeli newspaper reported Thursday.
Prior to the American-led invasion of Iraq in March 2003, the Israeli services reported Iraq had large amounts of weapons of mass destruction (search), including chemical and biological agents.
Since ousting Saddam Hussein, the U.S.-led coalition's technical experts have failed to find any such weapons.

So what happened to the dancers?
Submission Statement: Why hold up a lighter lighter up to the smoldering wreckage of WTC and cheer? It doesn’t make sense. That would indicate they were happy the attack happened or knew it would happen or even worse, were behind it.
