I edited and expanded my original NewsBusters item so much that I asked the Admin Mod to delete the original thread, and thus am re-pinging the 'new and improved' version.

But the utter neutrality of "theorist" coupled with the honorary title of "scholar" seems excessive. Would the AP describe David Duke as a "racial theorist," for example?
You know in theory I'm a theorist...

At a department seminar held on September 22, 2005, Jones presented the substance of the paper that would become "Why Indeed did the WTC Buildings Collapse?".[12] His hypothesis is that on September 11, 2001 the World Trade Center towers and Seven World Trade Center collapsed as a result of controlled demolition, not the impact of the airplanes that hit them or the fires that followed. The paper does not claim to prove this hypothesis, but calls for further scientific investigation to test it along with the release of all relevant data by the government. Shortly after the seminar Jones made the paper available on the website of the physics department of Brigham Young University and it would eventually be published in a book of essays critical of the official version of the September 11, 2001 attacks, 9/11 and American Empire: Intellectuals Speak Out, edited by David Ray Griffin and Peter Dale Scott.[13]
Jones has been interviewed by mainstream news sources and has made a number of public appearances, including the 9/11 + The Neo-Con Agenda Symposium, which was held in Los Angeles on June 24-25, 2006.[14] While Jones has urged caution in drawing conclusions,[15] his public comments have suggested a considerable degree of certainty about both the controlled demolition of the World Trade Center and the culpability of agents working within the U.S. government.[16] In an article published on September 5, 2006, Jones told The Guardian that the attacks were an "inside job".[17] His name is often mentioned in reporting about 9/11 conspiracy theories.[18]

I have some really great investment opportunities in cold fusion, if you are the person I think you are.

"Never in the history of the world has *any* steel framed building failed due to fire, but on 9/11, a total of *three* buildings did exactly this."
Never in History have two Airline Jets slammed into buildings, either....WHAT'S YOUR POINT?
Somethin' smells fishy here.......

So you are a "conservative" who believes Pres. Bush murdered thousands of Americans on 9-11?

Perhaps the screen name "Hooey4You" would be more fitting.

Perhaps you could provide us with data from other 110 story skyscrapers that were hit by fuel-laded passenger airliners.
We'll wait patiently.

"AP Describes Controlled-Demolition Wacko as 'Scholar' and 'Sept. 11 Theorist" Ushering in a new standard in scholarship in America. You must assimilate - no fair knowing that buildings don't fall down.

"Never in History have two Airline Jets slammed into buildings, either....WHAT'S YOUR POINT? Somethin' smells fishy here....... " You're correct - using the phrase "Airline Jets" is extremely fishy.
