Really? You sound just like Rosie O'Donnel. More 9/11 'trutheriness' from a supposed serious journalist.
From The Independent:
But – here we go. I am increasingly troubled at the inconsistencies in the official narrative of 9/11. It's not just the obvious non sequiturs: where are the aircraft parts (engines, etc) from the attack on the Pentagon? Why have the officials involved in the United 93 flight (which crashed in Pennsylvania) been muzzled? Why did flight 93's debris spread over miles when it was supposed to have crashed in one piece in a field? Again, I'm not talking about the crazed "research" of David Icke's Alice in Wonderland and the World Trade Center Disaster – which should send any sane man back to reading the telephone directory.
I am talking about scientific issues. If it is true, for example, that kerosene burns at 820C under optimum conditions, how come the steel beams of the twin towers – whose melting point is supposed to be about 1,480C – would snap through at the same time? (They collapsed in 8.1 and 10 seconds.) What about the third tower – the so-called World Trade Centre Building 7 (or the Salmon Brothers Building) – which collapsed in 6.6 seconds in its own footprint at 5.20pm on 11 September? Why did it so neatly fall to the ground when no aircraft had hit it? The American National Institute of Standards and Technology was instructed to analyse the cause of the destruction of all three buildings. They have not yet reported on WTC 7. Two prominent American professors of mechanical engineering – very definitely not in the "raver" bracket – are now legally challenging the terms of reference of this final report on the grounds that it could be "fraudulent or deceptive".
After reading that nonsense, you can only wonder how he doesn't consider hiumself a conspiracy theorist. This is just like Ron Paul. "I don't think the American government was responsible for 911" he says, yet never fails to pass up an opportunity to speak to 9/11 truthers. I don't condone "conspiracy therories" is the mantra from those who must distance themselves from the kook fringe. You don't believe it? No? You just lend credence to them, right?
What a joke.
Head over to Hot Air for more.
Captain's Quarters also has a great debunk for this journalist "who can't get answers to the questions" of 9/11.
