The idea that demolition caused the collapse requires an amazingly cohesive conspiracy. The officially agreed conspiracy theory, that Al Qaeda co-ordinated 4 simultaneous attacks already requires a great deal of co-ordination and one significant failure. If this is to be co-ordinated with the secret planting and then detonation of demolition charges, the co-ordination required becomes implausible. What if one plane had missed, you would have had a building wired for demolition with the charges just waiting to be discovered? Anyone planning this would have to take into account failure of an earlier part of the plot - the planes not hitting the building. -----Original Message----- From: OPE-L [mailto:OPE-L@SUS.CSUCHICO.EDU] On Behalf Of Paul Zarembka Sent: 16 June 2005 16:51 To: OPE-L@SUS.CSUCHICO.EDU Subject: Re: [OPE-L] Former Bush economist Speaks Out on 9/11 Note that this former Reagan administration official is saying something important about 9-11, while his homepage is explicitly pro- market. This illustrates that libertarians are often ahead of the left on what happened on 9-11.
