Unlike the Pentagon where the metal all went poof but the people remained intact and identifiable!!

That is an assumption that may or may not be true. No one without the proper security clearance will ever be allowed to see the remains of the incident, and the damage reports will not be revealed to the public,...the Pentagon is one of the biggest and most secret military installations in the U.S., and perhaps the world.

Would South Africa invite the public in to see their military establishments,...allow them to see how they are constructed, where they keep the nuclear bombs, what kind of defensive measures they have taken?

On the other hand, the WTC is there for all to see. There is a camera that is left on all the time recording what is happening in the pit.

SA if there is any truth to the rumours or not the end result to me is it this could end up creating the highest cost to government for military expenditures. We might protect ourselves from terror on one end to end up with a terrifying balance sheet.

The cost of this has to come from somewhere which is taxation. So Sa if this darn thing was created it had to be the thickest headed bunch of loonies in the world that would contrive something so stupid.
