Nope. Not buying it with what information is available.

I do believe in this level of venality but not in this level of capability. I have not seen any convincing evidence that the buildings were brought down deliberately by explosives planted by anyone.

I can believe that people still don't really understand what happened and I can also believe they're going to build another tower without understanding exactly what happened to the first ones.

Why bother wiring a building to explode? Why not just bring in a bunch of trucks loaded with explosives? Isn't that much simpler and more likely to succeed?

The original bombing didn't do that much damage but the OK bombing did an incredible amount of damage and from a truck parked in front, not underneath. So, what's the purpose of hiding the explosives anyway?

Why not just pin it on the terrorists' as a 1-2 punch? Planes and bombs? Why hide it?

I just took a quick glance but Marvin Bush didn't run the company, he was on the board of directors. They had a contract with the WTC along with Dulles and other facilities.
