Shouldn't that be "a bleated welcome?"
Welcome to the BAUT, mdbapa.
As has been mentioned a few times, it is doubtful you will find anyone who is a regular on the BAUT who takes the US Gubmint at their word on
anything. What we do is listen to what is said, then look at all the evidence, and then decide for ourselves.
It's just that sometimes - much as it chagrins some of us - they get it right.
And, as has been pointed out, there have been conspiracies in the past, probably are some going on now, and will be some in the future. But, they seldom hold up for very long because people talk.
(Who was it who said, "Three people can keep a secret as long as two of them are dead?")
As for as greed and corruption, we are talking politics, right?
The differences in the damage done to the WTCs and to the Pentagon are due to their differences in construction. The WTCs were glass and steel, very open construction; the Pentagon is reinforced concrete. Because of this, while the Pentagon does show damage very consistent with and indicative of a strike by a 757, it doesn't show it the same way as the WTCs.
