the reason Wilson is having a contest rather than just hiring some engineers is because then theoretically the results are unbiased. personally i would have spent the $100,000 to assist some of the victims' families to hire an ace investigator and public relations firm.

accusing Wilson of being a socialist - labelling him one just for 9-11 skepticism - that's IDIOTIC. and look at Estelle labelling him an anti-Semite for the same "crime". look i have no idea what Mr. Wilson is up to but the way you two leapt to those conclusions is WEIRD!

what's wrong with environmentalism? factory smoke is not a sign of progress! and i do not see where believing that there was government involvement with the crime makes one a socialist - if anything the fact that the government sees itself as able to murder us at will is a huge reason to OPPOSE a strong central government!

I'm scanning the NIST report - thank you for that link - but my bet is that just like the congressional 9-11 inquiry it will take the concept that "fires brought the towers down" as a holy grail and do everything possible to make the data fit that conclusion - and tilt most of its work towards "preventing this from ever happening again!" to which i must riposte that a discussion of prevention should include "never allow republicans anywhere near the intelligence or foreign policy apparatus" and "throw as many of the people with foreknowledge of 9-11 in jail". that of course includes bush, cheney, and everyone surrounding them.

Fires from jet fuel did not bring WTC7 down, because no jet ever struck it. The collapse patterns exactly match that of controlled structural demolition. There is video showing the explosions starting at the GROUND FLOOR and working their way up the building. The second plane did not even hit the towers head on, spilling most of its fuel out into the sky in the form of a fireball. If you GO to ground zero, even today, you will feel as I do certain that this event was engineered by the American military-republican complex.
