A Demolition Company Rebuts 9/11 Conspiracy Claims
I really don't want to get involved in the whole debate about the supposed "Controlled Demolition" of the twin towers, but a couple of recent friends have been talking about this lately and I am often willing to read things that otherwise don't interest me for friendship's sake. So, for those of you who want a concise and readable refutation of some of the claims of the 9/11 conspiracy theorists, go here.

(Note: The article linked by Smasher was evidently an earlier one that has since been updated and the name and link has been changed. The link I have provided is current as of 9/7/06 but may change due to future updates. Go to Protec's home page if that happens and search for the paper on the World Trade Center.)

I don't really have time to comment in detail and I don't really care to be drawn into a debate on the topic in any event. But I will note the absurdity of kevin's first question "Do you really think that a company has the time or the money to produce a document for the sake of clearing a conspiracy?"
Yes as a matter of fact I do believe that a company would do such a thing, for the simple reason that I have worked for several companies that have been involved in projects for which they could claim no direct profit and have even assisted in some of those projects myself. It's called Public Relations and Name Recognition. Ask yourselfe this, before you followed the link had you ever heard of Protec or ImplosionWorld.com? Me neither, but we have now. Down the road, maybe months maybe years, someone is going to have Protec bid on a contract and some manager somewhere is going to say, "Oh yeah, I read your response to the 9/11 idiots. Good job." And it will all seem to be worthwhile. I don't claim that it is always a wise business move, but it is definitely a common one.
And note, this entire blog is posted using software which I did not pay for on a site which does not charge me a dime for the bandwidth. I have no idea if Google is making any return on what must be a fairly substantial investment and maybe someday they will shut it all down. But it is certainly an example of people putting time and money into something that will not directly pay for itself.
The suggestion that maybe this was a put-up job by some government official (or maybe ghost-written by Cheney himself?) is too silly for a response and only emphasizes the disregard for common sense that most of these conspiratists fall into. The facts are out there people; make of them what your wits allow.
The most ridiculous aspect of that conspiracy theory is that it doesn't make any sense. Why hijack all those planes if you want to demolish WTC with explosives and Pentagon with a missile ? Why not simply blame Al-Quaida for planting the explosives and firing the missile ?
And why blame Al-Quaeda ? If CIA did it, wouldn't they blame Saddam instead ?
It makes absolutely no sense!!!
