zonder, It's nice to read that you are actually considering what I've written about the WTC tower collapses. :) The first thing we can agree on is that the best, most efficient way to bring a large, modern hi-rise building down is by means of controlled demolition. The second thing we can agree on is that it is extremely curious that no official investigation into the collapse of the WTC towers (including the FEMA report, NIST reports or the Kean-Zelikow Commission report) even considered the possibility of controlled demolitions. The third thing we can agree on is that it is just as curious that a testing laboratory engineer was fired for even remotely questioning the "official story": septembereleventh.org As far as Kevin Manning's article, you seem to have missed the main point. The investigation into the tower collapses WAS A HALF BAKED FARCE. Let's not lose sight of what Manning was hoping to accomplish in the article. He was saying that STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE was not followed by the authorities in the investigation. In fact, what should be most worrisome to Americans and even global citizens such as yourself is that the entire investigation appears to have been taken over by bureaucrats who have been politicized and who cannot be trusted to be trying to get at the truth. (These are, after all, the same liars who tried to sell the world on Iraq's WMDs, among other huge whoppers and big lies) In all commercial aviation history, it is the U.S. NTSB which has achieved the greatest expertise at the forensic examination of plane crashes. Yet the NTSB is ordered to stand down in the aftermath of 9/11 and allow the obscure new bureaucracy called the Transportation Security Agency (TSA) to take over the investigation. There's only one real problem with this. TSA doesn't have any investigators and forensic staff, and it does not (and did not) proceed with an investigation. This ought to be a huge red flag for you, for the American public, for the mainstream media and for anyone concerned about the destruction of democracy in the U.S.A. But, unfortunately, this fact is hardly known to the American public. Similarly, the main point of Mr. Manning's editorial which you seem to completely miss is that the INVESTIGATION WAS A HALF BAKED FARCE. That is fact. The people who have for decades been assigned to investigate building collapses were literally prevented from doing their jobs by the FEMA police forces at the WTC complex. That is a HUGE RED FLAG. The speculation on Mr. Manning's behalf as to what may or may not have brought down the towers is an incidental, secondary issue. For you to focus on this disturbs me. You really need to keep your eye on the main event. And that is to say, politicized forces prevented normal forensic investigations from occurring at the WTC complex. This is what should be deeply concerning to all citizens. Why was FEMA preventing normal procedures? And what are they trying to cover-up? Furthermore, what is the Kean-Zelikow Commission trying to cover up? commondreams.org Lots of incriminating details, it turns out.
