Loose change.

Care for a drastic rearrangement of your perceptions? Wanna feel outraged? Better than a horror movie, and it's real. Watch the first eight minutes of this video and tell me you didn't think, "Jesus Fucking Christ."

I'm glad you said that. I don't want to believe it for a moment.

But then again, there's a physics professor at BYU who wrote a scholarly paper http://www.physics.byu.edu/research/energy/htm7.html
on the way the building collapsed neatly onto its footprint because the odds of that happening without placed explosives are vanishingly small. He refuses to say that the administration knew, but he will say that there are only a handful of explosives experts in the world with the ability to make that happen, that they are expensive, and that it had to have been planned. His basic issue is that there's never been an adequate report on what happened. I'm just curious: Do you agree with that statement?

Well, I'd be lying if I said I've read the 9/11 Commission Report, nor would I know how to judge whether such a report was adequate - but I definitely agree that nothing comes anywhere near acceptable levels of transparency in this administration, so just based on that, yes, I'd agree.

I read a book called 'American Ground: Unbuilding the World Trade Center' by one of my favorite authors, which is all about the mechanics of the collapse and cleanup. No one there suggested it was anything other than what it seems, though anything's possible. Personally, just based on what my gut says in response to all the collected info (albeit admittedly controlled) that I've come across, I think the conspiracies surrounding 9/11 have more to do with political maneuvering within the intelligence community, corporate interests in and out of the gov't, and deep gov't ties to Saudi Arabia and the Bin Laden family.

You raise my skeptic point, that even supposing, as the evidence more than proves, I feel, that the towers came down due to controlled demolition, it doesn't mean the government did it, but *someone* did. The incriminating part is that there are WAY TOO MANY unanswered questions that that the government refuses to answer. Which make one wonder, what ARE they hiding?
