Hudson County residents are more likely than not to believe that U.S. government officials chose to ignore warnings about the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, according to a recent Jersey Journal/New Jersey City University poll.

But that doesn't mean the 49 percent who expressed that belief -- versus 46 percent who did not-- are all conspiracy theorists, said NJCU political science professor Fran Moran, one of the poll's authors.

"While everyone who believes in a conspiracy would answer 'yes' to (that question), not everyone who answered 'yes' would necessarily believe in the conspiracy," he wrote.
