Honestly, let's think about this. Do you realize how many people something like this would involve? Did they kill EVERYone involved in the planning/preperation to the point that NO ONE has come forward and blown a whistle in exchange for clemency? To think that 9/11 is an inside job is simply preposterous.
Did the Bush administration capitalize the situation to their advantage? Of course they did. They saw an opportunity to increase American hegemony, which is one of the central tennants of People for a New American Century (PNAC). PNAC is an influential right-wing think tank that has a who's who list of Republican luminaries associated with them.
They also seized on the opportunity to increase the powers of the Executive branch, which is how its supposed to work. The BAD thing is that the other two branches haven't smacked his hand and said "Bad executive!" like they should have. Checks and balances, diverging interests...its what the country was founded on and its as good a system that exists (aside from a completely benevolent dictator).
