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.

How is a liberal wacko economist suddenly an expert on structural engineering?

[Question_Assumptions]

Let me guess... he's pitching his screenplay for "The Long Kiss Goodnight II" (where the "II" in the movie poster will be a picture of the WTC), right?

(The movie "The Long Kiss Goodnight" was made before 9/11 and an element of the plot was the theory that the first WTC bombing was blamed on innocent Arabs by a government intelligence agency that carried out the bombing as a "fund raiser" in order to justify budget increases after the end of the Cold War.)

Didja hear about the Aggie economist who analyzed the WTC attack? :)

"...it is more likely that a controlled demolition destroyed..."

Actually, this is probably a factual statement. I am quite sure that mre buldings are razed by "controlled demolition" than are destroyed by crazed terrorists flying hijacked jets. Therefore, if a building is destroyed it IS more LIKELY to have been destroyed by "controlled demolition." Statistically speaking it is.

Aditionally "'If demolition destroyed three steel skyscrapers at the World Trade Center on 9/11, then the case for an 'inside job'"

This too would be factually coreect as the person would necessarily have to have been "inside" to plant the charges.

So then, this artice is defintely "FAKE BUT ACCURATE." Could Dancing Dan be far from here?

PhD= piled higher and deeper

I have yet to meet one that had one ounce of common sense.

The Hildabeast says those planes crashing into the WTC was a fig-ma of the public imagination. So I guess we were all smoking pot that day.

[COEXERJ145]

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...

Because Texas A&M, like most if not all public universities, is dominated by liberals. In the 1996 Presidential Election, the faculty voted more liberal (Democrat/Green/Communist/etc) on a proportional basis than did the faculty of U.S. Berkley. The student body however is mostly conservative but also has its share of moonbats.

former chief economist in

Well surely THIS guys opinion means so much more than that of structural engineers or architects..

[tophat9000]

What a maroon... besides just being stupid, both towers where filmed from the time they were hit till the time they collapsed.... did any one see any controlled demo blasts?.. or any blast or blast damage other then at the time the aircraft hit and at the aircraft hit points?

No the only thing you saw was the aircraft hit, the damage and fire at the aircraft hit points, and the collapse starting at aircraft hit points

[demkicker]

I wish I felt like hearing the punch line. I'm just too pissed off to even hear an Aggie joke right now, and that's unusual for me.... Hook 'em.

Lessee, so those planes we all SAW flying into those buildings, the FIRE we all SAW coming out of those buildings, the people we all SAW jumping out of those buildings didn't happen. That AFTER the planes hit the buildings, some "demolition teams' snuck into the WTC, laid explosives (all while the fire department is running in, and people are running out, and laid explosives that would have taken DAYS to put in place in a matter of less than an hour without being detected.

And space aliens created the pyramids.

Guess what, Morgan Reynolds, Phd. ...

You're a dork!

[BeHoldAPaleHorse]

Well, here's an old Aggie joke:

An Aggie's girlfriend told him that she wanted to "do it" in a place that was unnatural and dirty.

So he took her to a motel in Beaumont. :)

[demkicker]

No excuse... I know and respect lots of Aggies and there needs to be a HUGE gathering of demonstrating students to shut this idiot down NOW. This is horribly disrespectful for A&M, not to mention our President and country. The A&M I've always heard about wouldn't put up with it for a second!

[COEXERJ145]

Most people probably will never even hear about it. I've only seen it on two places, here and on Airliners.net and only there because we have a LewRockwell moonbat who posts crap from that site almost every day.

[Leo Carpathian]

Moron, should have been in one of those buildings!
Like we didn't see the planes hit the buildings, like steel did not melt from the heat at the point of impact, like top floors did not start pancake collapse from the top.

What about the heroes who took that plane down in PA? Inside job, decided to take the plane down just for heck of it?

Freak! FRepee on him!

[DJ Taylor]

Okay, this has to be another "Aggie" joke, but could someone explain the punch-line to me. I'm a little slow today.

[COEXERJ145]

Sadly it's no joke. We have our own raving, moonbat on campus.

Let me explain something

If this guy was prosecuted by the government for saying this, then do you know what that leads to....

More people thinking he was right, cause if he was a lone kook, why would the government waste effort going after him.

You don't want to make this guy out to be the American Mordecai Vannau (I think his last name was Vannau).

[lastchance]

There just ain't enough tin foil to make hats for all that need em.

[Tulane]

Let's see, we actually see on film the planes hit the buildings...we have heard cell phone calls from the victims naming arab men as the culprits, and we have seen footage of arab men boarding the planes...

No, I am convinced, it was a demolition job...>>>>Sarcasm<<<<
