MYTHGeorge Bush's brother, Jeb Bush, declared martial law in Florida on 9/7/2001 in anticipation of 9/11

Jeb Bush's executive order was not martial law; read it yourself:

EXECUTIVE ORDER NUMBER 01-261
WHEREAS, the Florida National Guard has the statutory responsibility to
provide support to law-enforcement personnel and emergency-management personnel
in the event of civil disturbances or natural disasters; and

WHEREAS, the Florida National Guard has the responsibility to provide
training support to law-enforcement personnel and community-based organizations
relating to counter drug operations; and

WHEREAS, the Florida National Guard must train to meet such
responsibilities; and

WHEREAS, the Florida National Guard is funded for any such training by
budgetary appropriation or grants before any such training; and

WHEREAS, the Florida National Guard must conduct such training in active
service of the state, as defined by Section 250.27, Florida Statutes (also known
as active military service and state active duty) for members of the Florida
National Guard to be covered by Section 250.34, Florida Statutes; and

WHEREAS, as Governor, I may delegate the authority contained in Section
250.06(4), Florida Statutes, to order training to help respond to civil
disturbances, natural disasters, and counter drug operations to The Adjutant
General of the State of Florida; and

WHEREAS, it is in the best interest of the State of Florida that I delegate
such authority, so that the Florida National Guard is adequately trained to meet
its obligation to help respond to civil disturbances, natural disasters, and
counter drug operations and so that members of the Florida National Guard
performing such training are covered by Section 250.34, Florida Statutes; and

WHEREAS, the Governor may order the Florida National Guard to provide
extraordinary support to law enforcement upon request and such a request has
been received from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) to assist
FDLE in performing port security training and inspections.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JEB BUSH, as Governor of Florida, by virtue of the
authority vested in me by Article IV, Section 1(a) of the Florida Constitution,
and by Section 250.06(4), Florida Statutes, and all other applicable laws, do
hereby promulgate the following Executive Order, to take immediate effect:

Section 1. Based upon the foregoing, I hereby find that the public welfare
requires that the Florida National Guard train to support law-enforcement
personnel and emergency-management personnel in the event of civil disturbances
or natural disasters and to provide training support to law-enforcement
personnel and community-based organizations relating to counter drug operations.

Section 2. I hereby delegate to The Adjutant General of the State of
Florida all necessary authority, within approved budgetary appropriations or
grants, to order members of the Florida National Guard into active service, as
defined by Section 250.27, Florida Statutes, for the purpose of training to
support law-enforcement personnel and emergency-management personnel in the
event of civil disturbances or natural disasters and to provide training support
to law-enforcement personnel and community-based organizations relating to
counter drug operations.

Section 3. The Florida National Guard may order selected members on to
state active duty for service to the State of Florida pursuant to Section
250.06(4), Florida Statutes, to assist FDLE in performing port security training
and inspections. Based on the potential massive damage to life and property that
may result from an act of terrorism at a Florida port, the necessity to protect
life and property from such acts of terrorism, and inhibiting the smuggling of
illegal drugs into the State of Florida, the use of the Florida National Guard
to support FDLE in accomplishing port security training and inspections is
"extraordinary support to law enforcement" as used in Section 250.06(4), Florida
Statutes.

Section 4. The Adjutant General shall not place members of the Florida
National Guard into active service for longer than necessary to accomplish the
purposes declared herein.

Section 5. This Executive Order supersedes Executive Order Number 01-17.
Executive Order Number 01-17 is hereby revoked.

Section 6. This Executive Order shall remain in full force and effect until
the earlier of its revocation or June 30, 2003.

IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and have caused the Great
Seal of the State of Florida to be affixed at Tallahassee, the Capitol, this 7th
day of September 2001.

It must be noted that a state of emergency is not the same as martial law. Martial law is when the military takes over to function as police (they can seize private property, arrest citizens, set curfews, etc.) In the case of Jeb Bush's executive orders, civilian law was still in effect, not military (martial) law. September is part of hurricane season, and there is no demonstrable connection between these benign executive orders and 9/11 foreknowledge.

9/11 conspiracists, if you want to find support for your theories, you'll have to choose a publication besides the BBC article on allegedly living hijacking suspects!:

A five-year-old story from our archive has been the subject of some recent
editorial discussion here. The story, written in the immediate aftermath of the
9/11 attacks, was about confusion at the time surrounding the names and
identities of some of the hijackers. This confusion was widely reported and was
also acknowledged by the FBI.The story has been cited ever since by some as
evidence that the 9/11 attacks were part of a US government conspiracy.We later
reported on the list of hijackers, thereby superseding the earlier report. In
the intervening years we have also reported in detail on the investigation into
the attacks, the 9/11 commission and its report.We’ve carried the full report,
executive summary and main findings and, as part of the recent fifth anniversary
coverage, a detailed guide to what’s known about what happened on the day. But
conspiracy theories have persisted. The confusion over names and identities we
reported back in 2001 may have arisen because these were common Arabic and
Islamic names.In an effort to make this clearer, we have made one small change
to the original story. Under the FBI picture of Waleed al Shehri we have added
the words "A man called Waleed Al Shehri..." to make it as clear as possible
that there was confusion over the identity. The rest of the story remains as it
was in the archive as a record of the situation at the time.We recently asked
the FBI for a statement, and this is, as things stand, the closest thing we have
to a definitive view: The FBI is confident that it has positively identified the
nineteen hijackers responsible for the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Also, the 9/11
investigation was thoroughly reviewed by the National Commission on Terrorist
Attacks Upon the United States and the House and Senate Joint Inquiry. Neither
of these reviews ever raised the issue of doubt about the identity of the
nineteen hijackers.
