Get the special jacket, here comes another nutcase!

According to the Washington Times, a former Bush labor department chief economist, Morgan Reynolds, has come out and said what a lot of the people who hate America have been thinking: The demolition of World Trade Center, and Building 7 was actually a controlled demolition, not a result of the heat from the burning jet-fuel that softened the structural steel allowing the weight from the floors above the impact to collapse down, creating an accordian-like demolition of the building.
I guess since this economist now has returned to his job as a professor emeritus at Texas A&M, he's had time to go to engineering school and learn the whole thermodynamics of how this is impossible, OR when he had the chance to learn how demolition teams work and how a demolition job of this kind would be impossible to go forward unobserved by the people who actually WORK at the towers. Popular Mechanics has even gone to the trouble of debunking many of the urban myths that sprouted up shortly after 9/11 in this article.

The bad part is, this guy used to be relatively intelligent, judging from some of his past writings, but has apparently spent too much time in the sun, and it's softened his skull.

Just another case of the academic elite enlightening us all with their superior intellect.

Or another bonehead getting press because he doesn't have a clue, but allows his pie-hole to open and spew out stupidity that he thinks (and the MSM thinks) makes the Bush administration look bad.
