A former Bush team member during his first administration is now voicing
serious doubts about the collapse of the World Trade Center on 9-11.
Former chief economist for the Department of Labor during President
George W. Bush's first term Morgan Reynolds comments that the official
story about the collapse of the WTC is "bogus" and that it is more
likely that a controlled demolition destroyed the Twin Towers and
adjacent Building No. 7.

Reynolds, who also served as director of the Criminal Justice Center at
the National Center for Policy Analysis in Dallas and is now professor
emeritus at Texas A&M University said, "If demolition destroyed three
steel skyscrapers at the World Trade Center on 9/11, then the case for
an 'inside job' and a government attack on America would be compelling."

Reynolds commented from his Texas A&M office,

"It is hard to exaggerate the importance of a scientific debate over the
cause of the collapse of the twin towers and building 7. If the official
wisdom on the collapses is wrong, as I believe it is, then policy based
on such erroneous engineering analysis is not likely to be correct
either. The government's collapse theory is highly vulnerable on its own
terms. Only professional demolition appears to account for the full
range of facts associated with the collapse of the three buildings."
