A former chief economist in the Labor Department during President Bush's first term now believes the official story about the collapse of the WTC is 'bogus,' saying it is more likely that a controlled demolition destroyed the Twin Towers and adjacent Building No. 7.

'If demolition destroyed three steel skyscrapers at the World Trade Center on 9/11, then the case for an 'inside job' and a government attack on America would be compelling,' said Morgan Reynolds, Ph.D, a former member of the Bush team who also served as director of the Criminal Justice Center at the National Center for Policy Analysis headquartered in Dallas, TX.

Morgan Reynolds apparently has a history of these allegations, which is why LewRockwell.com has a page of his archived writings. Admit it, the French were Right is my favorite.

Hey man, why are you drilling holes in all the support columns and then cutting notches in the steel beams with a torch. And what is with all these wires being strung throughout the building? Oh, you say you are just wiring in a new super fast internet connection? Sweet!

Fire had never before caused steel-frame buildings to collapse except for the three buildings on 9/11, nor has fire collapsed any steel high rise since 9/11.

Kind of like what the farmer said when his horse died "Gee he never did that before".
What other 110 story building of external skeleton construction,on fire from having a jet plane crashed into it are they comparing it to.

Completely and utterly idiotic.Some levels of stupidity should be made criminal.

And I would take teh word of an economist about demolitions, ballistics and damage assessment why?

[glock rocks]

Those jets didn't look airbrushed to me... What's your opinion of the article, Matrix1948, or are those just Baby Ruth's you dropped into the punchbowl?

[trisham]

Did I miss anything?

Nope.

"No, this ignoramus did not "cast doubt" on the explanation of the attack on the WTC. He only cast doubt on his own sanity."

He didn't cast doubt on his own sanity, he removed all remaining doubt of his INsanity.

Wow!! Let these nutcases rant and rave!! It only demolishes their credibility IF they ever had any in the first place.

We need to let them speak loud and clear so the electorate of the American people see them for the absolute IDIOTS they are. Repubs could never do this much damage to a party so out of touch the moon would be closer to their grasps!!

Great. Red meat for the KOOKS!!

Because the font is so large?

This is essentially a blog copy of an article written around what was printed in a Washington Times report today...see a thread on that HERE

Much of the arguemetation is built upon incorrect information or out-right untruthful spin. Extensive testing of all sorts of materials and steel from the WTC debris has been run from preserved materials...I saw some of the test data at a huge engineer's conference over a year ago...photos, lab reports and the like. Yet he claims all materials were destroyed/hidden etc.

That just proves someone loses his or her mind virtually everyday. Glad this is a FORMER administration official.

"And I would take teh word of an economist about demolitions, ballistics and damage assessment why?"

Because the concept of expertise being limited to only those areas that one has actually studied is a leftover remnant of the sexist, racist, homophobic patriarchy. (End postmodernist silly-a$$ rant)

[savedbygrace]

An economist, huh? Well, that must settle it. Sheesh.

[HairOfTheDog]

If it was a controlled demolition, why bother with the planes?

I can't actually believe someone with a job at this level buys any of this fringeville crap.

[demkicker]

Reynolds, now a professor emeritus at Texas A&M University, also believes it's 'next to impossible' that 19 Arab terrorists alone outfoxed the mighty U.S. military, adding that scientific conclusions about the WTC collapse may hold the key to the entire mysterious plot behind 9/11.

Okay, I'm calling all of you Aggies out to explain this guy. What in the hell is he doing at A&M spouting this garbage? Obviously, this fool is tenured...

Sign me disgusted.

"... then the case for an 'inside job' and a government attack on America would be compelling"

If that is the case, the entire 'operation' was most likely a clinton ordered hit on Barbara Olson.

Nauseating.
