Former Bush Team Member Says WTC Collapse Likely A Controlled Demolition And 'Inside Job'
Highly recognized former chief economist in Labor Department now doubts official 9/11 story, claiming suspicious facts and evidence cover-up indicate government foul play and possible criminal implications.
June 12, 2005

By Greg Szymanski

A former chief economist in the Labor Department during President Bush's first term now believes the official story about the collapse of the WTC is 'bogus,' saying it is more likely that a controlled demolition destroyed the Twin Towers and adjacent Building No. 7.

"If demolition destroyed three steel skyscrapers at the World Trade Center on 9/11, then the case for an 'inside job' and a government attack on America would be compelling," said Morgan Reynolds, Ph.D, a former member of the Bush team who also served as director of the Criminal Justice Center at the National Center for Policy Analysis headquartered in Dallas, TX.

Reynolds, now a professor emeritus at Texas A&M University, also believes it's 'next to impossible' that 19 Arab Terrorists alone outfoxed the mighty U.S. military, adding the scientific conclusions about the WTC collapse may hold the key to the entire mysterious plot behind 9/11.

5. I've always felt that the building #7....
thing was more than a little suspicious...and David Ray Griffin's appearance on CSPAN in May just solidified my feelings on the matter.

6. While I'm certainly not averse to believing conspiracy theories . . .
I usually cut through the BS with Occam's Razor. I'm not convinced. But that doesn't mean my mind can't be changed.

9. Careful...look what he says:
"adding the scientific conclusions about the WTC collapse may hold the key to the entire mysterious plot behind 9/11".


The implication of this is that if the building did collapse naturally then everything's ok and you don't need to worry about all those other pesky questions. It could easily be a set-up.

10. I think it is BLATANTLY obvious that the WTC bldg's were taken down
by controlled demolition. I remember thinking that when it actually happened.

11. Reynolds is a Bush lackey. Do not trust him.
Google "Morgan Reynolds" and "Charles Murray"... All part of that same crowd of Bush Weird Men with big ideas. I don't know what his angle is with this stuff about the WTC having been demolished, but it smells like bait.

12. Former Bush Team Member Needs A Tinfoil Hat
This issue has been studied to death. Buildings that have 50 ton fuel-loaded aircraft smash into them don't do very well structurally. And the idea that Bush, who is so incompetent he can't even chew a pretzel without nearly dying, is the mastermind behind some amazing (yet absolutely airtight) conspiracy is beyond absurd. It goes into self-parody.

13. Bushco isn't smart enought to pull of some vast conspiracy....
has always been my opinion regarding these sort of tinfoil hat theories.
They were warned and warned that 9/11 was coming, and were too
arrogant, inexperienced, and distracted by their own agenda to take heed
of those warnings.

That said, it has never made sense to me (and I know a little about
structures) how those buildings collapsed. And Bushco sure has gotten
a lot of mileage out of 9/11. Not ready for the tinfoil hat yet, but I do
wonder if we will ever know exactly how the events of that day came
about.
