Wrong again. You have indicated in writing to me that some part of the Federal government caused 9-11, and in any event who caused 9-11 isn't central to me argument, so there is no "straw man." My arguments work no matter who was involved.
Straw Man again - putting an easily refutable argument of your choice in the other person's mouth. Again, I did not say that "the government murdered 3000 people" so please stop that. I do not believe Bush signed an Executive Order in the Oval Office to put explosives in the WTC.The debate about the presence of explosives has been won for almost a year now, due to hard physical evidence. Dr. Niels Harrit and Dr. Stephen Jones studied WTC dust and found it contains material with the chemical signature of nano-thermite explosives. No one has yet refuted their study or found that the chemicals were anything else, such as red paint.The material matches high tech explosives developed at places like Lawrence Livermore Laboratories. Dr. Jones is still listed as Professor Emeritus at www.Physics.BYU.edu - Brigham Young University has no obligation to do that. http://www.physics.byu.edu/research/energy/currvitaApril09.htmBYI also lists his Thermite study. Why would they do that, unless they respect his work? His resume was updated April 2009, AFTER he retired (with full benefits) in 2007 to include the study. Evidently the early retirement was just to avoid distraction, and undue pressure from some powerful yet unfair influence.I have no reason to suspect Dr. Harrit would lie, or jeopardize his career, tenure, or pension.The dust contains 2Al+Fe2O3+Al2O3+2Fe+K+Si until anyone can prove the chemicals are otherwise. An experiment of identification, simply finding what chemicals are present, is irrefutable. It is what it is. No one can fudge this type of science. The scientist simply reads the result from the X-Ray Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (XEDS). Another experiment, detonating the chemicals, resulted in a highly explosive reaction.The only possibility is that this Dr. Stephen Jones and Danish Chemistry Professor somehow purchased controlled American military explosives, without anyone knowing. Why would he do that, and put his reputation and life at risk, even if he could?. I am inspired, however to keep looking on eBay, and for a reasonably priced electron microscope. XEDS gives the same chemical analysis results regardless of who uses them, regardless of wheter the scientist is Danish or Mormon.Dr. Jones and Dr. Harrit welcome follow up studies of their work, offering assistance, and ask for any other explanation.Justin Kios has also done a follow up study on it, hitting the unexploded red material with a laser, and it explodes. Paint does not do that. I would not want "paint" like that on my house. Kevin Ryan discusses the need for publishing in refereed scientific journals.In April of 2002, RJ Lee Group was retained by the law firm of Pitney Hardin Kipp & Szuch LLP, on behalf of the Deutche Bank, to oversee and investigate the presence, type, amount, and extent of environmental contaminants in the Building. They found iron rich micro spheres, that require explosive-like temperatures to form (see page 16, 24 of attached PDF). In liquid form, iron forms tiny spheres due to surface tension. The RJ Lee Group is a scientific analysis company with no relation to the Truth Movement or any bias. Their very business depends on objectivity.The US Geological Survey Report also reported these spheres.Dr. Stephen Jones discusses the findings of the WTC dust and holes in the iron beamsThe list of credible people who believe the WTC was controlled demolition can be seen with a Ctrl+F to Find "demolition" on www.PatriotsQuestion911.com
911Truth.org has commissioned a poll by Zogby International (an independent survey company) in 2006 and found in several polls that:44% believe Bush exploited 9/11 attacks42% US government and 9/11 Commission are covering up38% The Commission should have investigated WTC 7's collapse45% Reinvestigate the attacks19% The US media's performance was Poor>I have no idea what statement those 1,000 people signed
The petition that 1048 architectural and engineering professionals signed is visible from the "Sign the petition" button in the middle of www.AE911Truth.orgTo the Members of the House of Representatives and of the Senate of the United States of AmericaOn Behalf of the People of the United States of America, the undersigned Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth and affiliates hereby petition for, and demand, a truly independent investigation with subpoena power in order to uncover the full truth surrounding the events of 9/11/01 – specifically the collapse of the World Trade Center Towers and Building 7. We believe there is sufficient doubt about the official story to justify re-opening the 9/11 investigation. The new investigation must include a full inquiry into the possible use of explosives that might have been the actual cause of the destruction of the World Trade Center Twin Towers and Building 7.Sincerely,The Undersigned
Note how the names include their Architectural or Engineer License Number. This is not some survey they quickly signed, but one they carefully considered, and were willing to include their professional credentials, including universities and firm names, risking their reputations for the world to see. Each was called to get a fax of their certificate for verification. The time to get on the list, and fax the verification would take at least 20 minutes of time from each signer, quite an investment, unless they believed in the cause.Richard Gage just finished a 9/11 Truth Press Conference in San Francisco on February 19 and is going strong. The number of member are increasing, not decreasing. Standing up for the truth only takes boldness in the beginning. Soon it will be common knowledge.

One comment on your 1,000 architects and engineers that support the position that the government murdered 3,000 people in downtown Manhattan on National TV.
The claim is unfounded until it is verified independently.
To verify is pretty simple: you hire an independent polling firm that calls a statistically significant sample (70 people?) and asks them, “Do you agree with the statement that the US government exploded the WTC buildings on 9-11? Yes/No/I don’t know.” Would this cost even $1,000 to do?
I have no idea what statement those 1,000 people signed (what did the petition they agreed to say?). People (like Clark and Marshall) were critical of the 9-11 commission for whitewashing the Bush Admin security team and the intelligence community, but it does not follow from a desire to investigate our Intel community and John Ashcroft, that those people believe that Bush blew up buildings filled with people. (The Pentagon and CIA certainly didn’t blow themselves up so you are left with Bush).
In determining what causes a building to fall after it has been hit by a jumbo jet full of fuel at high speed, the only opinions that matter are from those with technical expertise to ascertain how buildings fall. That means PhDs in structural engineering or physics or a background in demolition of some kind. Perhaps civil engineering.
The 1,000 people number is irrelevant. I do not believe that 1,000 PhDs in America believe that the government blew up the WTC and killed 3,000 people. But it would be easy enough for the Truthers to establish that independently, which of course they don’t.

What I don't understand is how your group can expect Congress and taxpayers to authorize another study, in addition to the one that was done for the government by the best civil engineers in the world, without first presenting independently reviewed evidence that what you claim is true. I can't think of any political area where you could expect action from Congress without extensive studies that have been reviewed for the science.
