I have heard this from many people. I have always written it off as having its roots in the same communinty that claims the Apollo Moon landing was faked.
That being said, I just don't know what to make of this.
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.
More Below.
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."
I don't really believe this. I certainly don't want to believe it's true.
That being said, there has been enough disinformation and lying from this administration that the idea at least gives me pause.
And that is lesson enough in itself right there. The fact that I have to hesitate before I write something like this off as nonsense says something about this administration.
These people are untrustworthy, so it opens up the door for such unbelievable claims.
What are you thoughts?

Sorry, I meant to add the link as well. It was just an oversight. My bad. As if the story wasn't strange enough, it came from Rev. Moon's Washington Times Website. What the fuck.
