I'm trying to avoid speculations as to motives of whomever the
conspirators were, but rather getting clear on the facts of the case
first.

If it were so easily explained, WHY did the Kean Commission completely
avoid the issue?  We are talking about a major building with major
electrical transformers, CIA operations, Guilaini 'bunker', etc.  No
such building has ever before collapsed from a fire (no plane hit it),
nor did WTC buildings closer to WTC 1 and 2.  The building was
intentionally completely evacuated, people on the street were told to
stay away as the building was coming down, etc. Check out the videos of
the collapse itself.  It really does look like a demolition and
everyone would also think so if they saw it (probably the reason you
rarely see THAT video).

One interpretation says that the WTC 7 had the command operations for
the WTC attacks and thus needed to come down, but that is speculation
not fact which has been my own focus.
