I agree it's a fact, but it is still part of the theory. You bring up an important point though... the reason these theories are considered plausible and even truthful by so many people is because they do rely on real facts. Bush received warnings about 9/11, that's a fact. Bush and his associates have indirect ties to the bin Laden family, that's a fact. Cheney and others have profited from the war because of their involvement with Halliburton, that's a fact. Bush has (mostly through the Patriot Act) violated our constitutional rights, that's a fact. Obviously I could keep going, but you get the point.
It is only when all of these facts are presented with various details twisted, and put together with non-facts, that they become the basis of the conspiracy theory. By themselves, the facts definitely suggest to any reasonable person that Bush is a horrible president, he has violated our rights, he has fought an unjust war, etc. But I see no single fact, or even combination of facts that would suggest Bush or any other government official had anything to do with planning and carrying out the events of 9/11. He may have let it happen, but proving that it was intentional at all is basically impossible.
As much as people hate Michael Moore, his movie Fahrenheit 9/11 is a very accurate portrayal of the Bush presidency.

I mean, look at what some of the presidential candidates want to do even, they want to toss the constitution out the window as Bush has.

Maybe McCain, but do you feel that way about Obama? I don't see how any of his policies disregard the constitution.
