[Read more letters about this article: Here]If it's all on the up and up as you seem to believe why were the fire engineers who were desperate to examine the steel from the WTC not only prevented from doing their job (that is, to find out why buildings that was designed NOT to come down in a fire had come down) but why were the more persistent ones actually threatened with losing their jobs if they didn't shut up? Bill Manning,editor of Fire Engineering Magazine wrote an editorial in which he said that, 'The destruction and removal of evidence (from ground zero) must stop immediately.' Fire engineers complained in a story run in the New York Times in 2001 that their investigation was impeded at every turn. They were prevented from interviewing witnesses and even had difficulty gaining access to recorded distress calls to the fire department and the police. Is this the behaviour of an administration with nothing to hide? The fact is Giuliani and co couldn't let the fire engineers examine the steel: they would have realized imediately that the steel pillars that held up the Twin Towers had been 'cracked' with explosives into regular lengths perfect for throwing on to the back of trucks. Giuliani did in fact have them thrown on to the back of trucks and shipped to Asia where they were melted down. The fire engineers were never allowed to examine them. The only way the Twin Towers could come down is if the steel pillars collapsed and that steel was especially formulated not to melt and collapse unless it was subjected to heat of 3,000 degrees fahrenheit. The highest estimate of the fires in the Twin Towers is 2,000 degrees fahrenheit. If everything is as it should be why did the 9/11 Commission lie about the steel pillars and claim there was a hollow centre where the pillars in fact were, down which the fire is supposed to have rushed. Fact after fact refutes the official story. If the 9/11 Commission had done it's job the whole treasonous story would have been revealed to the public. The reason they didn't do their job is that they were never meant to. Condoleeza Rice's friend Phillip Zelikow, Executive Director of the 9/11 Commission,made sure of that. This is the man who yelled so hard at the Jersey Girls, bereaved women who had lost husbands and loved ones on 9/11, that he went red in the face. 'Everything is connected,' he mocked them. 'The hip bone is connected to the thigh bone is connected to the knee bone. It's all connected.' Next time you hear Bush pretending he gives a damn about those who died on 9/11 think about Zelikow's red face and his contempt for the victims.If you really want the truth, that's the truth.

one has to be incorrect

[Read more letters about this article: Here]You need to get off the fence paulpsd7. Both stories can't be correct any more than both stories can be incorrect. As to the Bush Administration's incompetence,while their socio/economic incompetence is beyond dispute, that image largely stems from the imbecile known as Bush. Bush didn't need to carry out the attack or plan it: they have the Pentagon and the CIA for that. Flipping it over, you need to look at what you do believe- that a bunch of Saudi students from Hamburg, who could hardly fly a plane performed feats of military-style flying that only skilled and experienced pilots could possibly have performed. That the US airforce sat on the ground and did nothing because they were feeling lazy that day. That a plane was allowed to fly for forty minutes towards the Pentagon and was not shot down by the batteries of anti aircraft missiles around the Pentagon programmed to shoot down any plane without a military transponder on board. According to the testimony of Norman Mineta, Secretary of Transport, to the 9/11 Commission, Mineta was with Dick Cheney in the Presidential Emergency Control Centre that day (Bush had been taken away somewhere like a helpless child) and Cheney calmly watched this plane fly towards the Pentagon for forty minutes. A young man kept him informed of the plane's progress and when it was 10 minutes away from the Pentagon he said to Dick Cheney: 'Do the orders still stand?' and Cheney barked 'Of course the orders still stand have you heard anything to the contrary?' Now, I don't know about you but my lips immediately form the words, 'What orders?' And when I find out that the chain of command was changed in the days leading up to 9/11 so that only Donald Rumsfeld could order the airforce to respond to an airborne attack on the United States I ask 'Why?' and 'Why Didn't he?' The Mossad agents, famously known in some quarters as 'The Dancing Israelis' were real and featured in a story on CBS a short time after 9/11. They drew so much attention to themselves that the FBI was tailing their van. Who they really were and what they were doing, no one knows. The point is, no one has tried to find out. NOTHING about 9/11 has actually been investigated since the 9/11 Commission was purely a PR exercise and as such was yet another scandalous waste of taxpayers' money. But, I suppose when you've killed so many taxpayers stealing their money comes easy.
