Bloggers demolish 9/11 conspiracy claim

Palmetto Pundit posts on a UPI report in the Washington Times that begins:

A former Bush team member during his first administration is now voicing serious doubts about the collapse of the World Trade Center on 9-11. Former chief economist for the Department of Labor during President George W. Bush’s first term Morgan Reynolds comments that the official story about the collapse of the WTC is “bogus” and that it is more likely that a controlled demolition destroyed the Twin Towers and adjacent Building No. 7.

Palmetto provides a response from Littlegreenfootball.com to this latest Michael Moore-type conspiracy fantasia:

None of the chuckleheads who propose theories like this ever seem to consider that professional demolition on such a scale would have been a gigantic task, would have taken a lot of time to set up, and would have been very visible to the tens of thousands of people who worked in the Trade Center every single day.

Sure, it's nonsense to claim giant buildings could be prepared for demolition and no one would notice. But don't be surprised if you hear the demolition nonsense recycled by the likes of Howard Dean, Al Frankin and Al Gore.

Palmetto provides thoughtful commentary of his own.

Read the post and spend some time at his blog. It's first-rate.
