This insurance angle is the Rosetta Stone to 911, IMO. Others know the issue far better than I do, but IIRC, Larry Silverstein invested about $10 million of his own money into the 99 year lease of the Towers. He took possession some 6 weeks prior to the event and eventually collected $3.5 billion in insurance $. Take a look at the prominant name in this news blurb I've tagged along; none other than Michael Mukasey, our Attorney General Elect.

WTC LEASEHOLDER Larry Silverstein was banned from the courtroom and faced potential contempt of court charges last week after insurance company attorneys complained that he violated a judge's gag order to not discuss the case in public.
U.S. District Court Judge Michael Mukasey said that he would rule on the contempt charges on March 22. However, before the contempt hearing even began, he announced that "there are some precautionary measures I will take."
