First of all, I'd like to thank you for the plug of my article, The Iraq War is Illegal...Isn't It? And don't worry - I haven't forgotten about your goofy responses either. There will be a new article soon about our reasons for the Iraq War and further legality arguments. "You find some websites and call me names and I find other websites that counter what you have provided." I call you names? No. I said your arguments about WTC #7 are asinine. And you counter with half-truths and misquotes, not factual evidence. Yes, there is a difference. Did you not watch the videos and look at the pictures? Did you not see the links to real news stories and full quotes of the first responders? "You want to believe that 9/11 was solely perpetrated by 19 Arabs coordinated by some Arab in a cave half a world away, fine." Are you saying that Arabs are not capable of learning how to fly a plane or coordinate plans? That seems kind of racist to me. Actually, the terrorists went through many years of flight school training. But I know you won't bother to read the information. You'll just assume it was a government conspiracy and call it a day. "You probably believe the massive put options for American Airlines and United Airlines were the result of somebody that made a lucky guess about what was going to happen on that day, too." No. I believe the guy thought he was making a good investment. He knew nothing of a terrorist attack that would involve American and United Airlines. A lack of clear intentions does not mean he was complicit in a conspiracy. This has been debunked for years, even by the 9-11 Commission. "You also probably believe that the virtually-indestructible black boxes for the two flights that hit WTC 1&2 disintegrated from the impact, yet a paper passport from Mohammad Atta miraculously survived the impact and flew two blocks away to be found and turned over to the FBI." Sure. Is it that hard to believe? Lots of debris was found that one would think would be impossible. But I guess since jdubhub thinks it is unlikely, then it must be a laughable claim. And as for your last link, here's what was said in the opening: "Two kinds of 9-11 truth deniers (debunkers) exist today: Those who deny our government has the expertise to carry out the 9-11 attack, and those who deny our government is diabolical enough to do it. Both are sadly mistaken. If you present them with the many suspicious anomalies of 9-11, they demand your proof. If you present them with proof, they deny it with scarcely a glance. If you mention the scientific laws that were broken on 9-11, they claim you are no authority. If you quote an authority, they claim he is no expert in that particular field." Well, I see it differently. There are more than two kinds of "deniers" (funny how that term is used to describe non-conspiracists for this and global warming). The third would be people who acknowledge both his points, but are able to recognize the mountains of evidence that prove 9-11 was not an inside job. Also, I'm not claiming that people are "no authority" or aren't experts, I'm simply saying they are stupid. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see massive holes and fires inside a structurally flawed building to know it would eventually collapse. Firefighters on the scene were able to figure this out, and they are not engineers or scientists. It's not that I'm unable to "handle the truth", the problem is that you are incapable of recognizing it. "You conveniently ignore the holes in the official 9/11 story..." You conveniently ignore holes in the buildings themselves! If something that obvious escapes you, then I'm not sure I want to handle your "truth". Good-day! *If you're interested in reading my articles, Click Here.

Trust me...there's more than just Popular Mechanics. Besides, all PM did was find experts in the fields that were discussed. Nevertheless, here are more links for you to consider with lots of interviews and statements made by people who were there and knew that #7 would collapse because of debris damage and fire. Link #1 Link #2 Link #3 (the six-second "freefall") And you already have the PM link. Make sure you look at the pictures and videos since you apparently can't comprehend the written portions. Truth stares you right in the face, yet you are blinded by ignorance. I shouldn't expect any more from you, jdubhub. Sooner or later, you'll be laughed out of whatever relevance you still have. *If you're interested in reading my articles, Click Here.

I shouldn't expected any more from you, Publius, than to pull out a debunked hit piece from Popular Mechanics out as your "evidence" when even the owner of the WTC complex, Larry Silverstein, admits that WTC-7 was pulled. Source: Silverstein, FDNY Razed WTC 7 But, back to your sole reliance on the Popular Mechanics hit piece. I point you to: Reply to Popular Mechanics re 9/11 for a full and complete rebuttal. Also, see: THE FEMA REPORT ON WORLD TRADE CENTER 7 COLLAPSE IS A TOTAL JOKE. for a step-by-step rebuttal to the FEMA report and Other WTC Building Collapses: WTC 6 and WTC 7, which has several links pointing out the inconsistencies with the official story regarding WTC 7. Building 7, the Untold Story slide show with photos and video Larry Silverstein, WTC 7, and the 9/11 Demolition So, you see that the evidence is there for a controlled demolition and not there for a catastrophic failure caused by falling debris that somehow leaped over WTC 6 and took out WTC 7 over a block away. Certainly not after Larry Silverstein even admitted it has been pulled. By the way, despite your pious protestations, blanket labeling of anyone who doesn't blindly believe the official 9/11 story as a "conspiracy theorist", "asinine", and "absurd" IS an ad hominem attack, especially since your "evidence" consists of a hit piece that has already been debunked and other non-existent "evidence" with more holes than a sieve and requiring a suspension of disbelief so strong that it ought to be bottled and marketed as a hallucinogen.
