"It bears repeating that fires have never caused the total collapse of a steel-framed high-rise before or since 9/11. Did we witness an unprecedented event three separate times on September 11, 2001? The NIST reports, which attempted to support that unlikely conclusion, fail to persuade a growing number of architects, engineers, and scientists. Instead, the evidence points overwhelmingly to the conclusion that all three buildings were destroyed by controlled demolition. Given the far-reaching implications, it is morally imperative that this hypothesis be the subject of a truly scientific and impartial investigation by responsible authorities." (From europhysicsnews.org page 23-28)

What the engineers don't focus on is the multiple warnings that other governments gave to the US prior to the attack. Or the war-time drills NORAD was simulating in which a jetliner is hijacked the same day. Our government officials claimed to have no prior knowledge or prediction of someone using a hijacked plane as a weapon, which is patently false.

Or the redacted pages of the 9/11 commission report (that's still considered classified) that describe who funded the attack. From what the members of congress who were permitted to see the documents have said; it links members of the Saudi Royal family to funding the attack. The Saudis threatened to pull their American investments if the pages were released, so naturally, they were kept hidden from the public. The 9/11 commission deemed the information of who funded the attacks "of little to no importance."

Did I mention the members of the 9/11 commission board were appointed by the president? The president chose Henry Kissinger as the chairman of the commission who just so happens to have on-going business with the Bin Ladin family in Saudi Arabia, and who was responsible for multiple government cover-ups including the overthrow of the Allende government in Chile which led to the deaths of thousands. Kissinger resigned due to the negative publicity, but the Bush administration continued to hinder the investigation by giving it one of the smallest independent commission funding levels in recent history ($3 million), and by setting a very early deadline.

Bush and Cheney both agreed to testify, but under specific conditions:

They would not be under oath.

They would testify together.

The testimony would not be recorded, except for notes from one member.

The notes were not to be made public.
