Really?

UPI Hears... A former Bush team member during his first administration is now voicing serious doubts about the collapse of the World Trade Center on 9-11. Former chief economist for the Department of Labor during President George W. Bush's first term Morgan Reynolds comments that the official story about the collapse of the WTC is "bogus" and that it is more likely that a controlled demolition destroyed the Twin Towers and adjacent Building No. 7. Reynolds, who also served as director of the Criminal Justice Center at the National Center for Policy Analysis in Dallas and is now professor emeritus at Texas A&M University said, "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." Reynolds commented from his Texas A&M office, "It is hard to exaggerate the importance of a scientific debate over the cause of the collapse of the twin towers and building 7. If the official wisdom on the collapses is wrong, as I believe it is, then policy based on such erroneous engineering analysis is not likely to be correct either. The government's collapse theory is highly vulnerable on its own terms. Only professional demolition appears to account for the full range of facts associated with the collapse of the three buildings."

This story was around 3 years ago but no one "heard." Must be a great deal of nail biting in some circles these days.

Lew Rockwell's site has a few articles by Reynolds, including the entire article excerpted in the UPI piece.

"Where tinfoil is respected." Good!

It takes a while for people to adjust to idea they've believed or worked for a group capable of pulling a Northwoods. The wingnuts have long since lapsed into their "la, la, la, I can't hear you" mode and the achly centrist lib'ruls are too busy pooh poohing "conspiracy" theories. It's no wonder it's taken three years to get into a mainstream paper, albeit one best known as the Moonie Times.

But I think this is going to wither and blow away. Getting printed in the Washington Times is like the kiss of death for anything but wingnut fantasies.
