Festus, What do you think of the fact that an Underwriter's Laboratory manager was fired for doubting the NIST investigators about the "fire theory"? Should whistleblowers being fired be a cause of concern to you? Shouldn't all reasonable explanations be considered? Especially in view of the fact that the UL's Kevin Ryan was merely requesting that NIST accept the laws of physics, instead of the cockamamie speculations in the FEMA report. 911truth.org <COPY> The Kevin Ryan Story: Update Meanwhile, in other developments, as you know, Underwriters Laboratories two weeks ago (11/16) fired their executive, Kevin Ryan, site manager of the Environmental Health Laboratories. Ryan had written a letter doubting the fire-melts-steel theory to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), which is due to release a draft of its final report on the WTC collapses early next year. The letter was published at the 9/11 Visibility Project (11/11), septembereleventh.org and there was a follow-up story by 911Truth.org on November 12. 911truth.org The next week, UL asked us to publish a statement on Ryan's termination. We found it inadequate, and wrote back asking them to answer a few reasonable questions. Nearly two weeks later, they still haven't responded, although we published both documents. 911truth.org This story continues to develop - it was the subject of an article in Ryan's hometown South-Bend Tribune last week 911truth.org - and we will keep you posted. Kevin Ryan has been punished because he stood up for what he believes. The time has come for you to let UL know what you think about all this. The 9/11 Visibility Project will be sending out an action alert, but it's easy enough to figure out how to contact UL from their own statement for publication. 911truth.org If you look around you right now, you can probably see a number of appliances with UL seals on them - for example, your telephone and your computer. They are not just a (non-profit) corporation, they have a mission central to public safety, and they should be answerable to anyone who uses a light switch. It's hard to imagine a greater public safety issue than knowing the full truth about what might cause a skyscraper (or three) to collapse into a pile of dust.
