I didn't say I bought what that guy was selling either...My whole reasoning for questioning official "engineer" statements is because in the initial days following 9/11, legitimate engineers were coming out saying that the structural failures weren't possible, and then later "retracted" their statements.  It's not that I don't think the NIST is the most credible source on the subject, it's just at this point there are too many things that have happened to ignore, that's all I'm saying.  I won't go nuts because I don't obsess over it.  When the conversation comes up, I talk, but I'm never the one bringing it up.  I trust the NIST, I just don't trust Dick Cheney, or the CIA.  They have proven themselves to be liars.

"...in the initial days following 9/11..."

Personally, I was in shock for days afterwards.  I'm glad that I didn't have to make any decisions about national security at that time, or I might have used nuclear weapons.

And I agree: Dick Cheney is a lying sack of shit, and the CIA continues to disinform or misinform the American public to this day.  I mean, how many times are they going to change their story about what they told Pelosi?  It looks like they're conducting operations against their own country!
