MORGAN REYNOLDS, FORMER BUSH TEAM MEMBER, SPEAKING IN PORTLAND SEPT. 10TH. REYNOLDS CLAIMS: "9/11 AN INSIDE JOB.."
Morgan Reynolds, former chief economist for the Dept. of Labor during President G.W. Bush's first term, will be speaking in Portland, Oregon on Saturday, Sept. 10th at 1pm at the main library located at 801 S.W. 10th Ave. Reynolds will participate in a day long event sponsored by Portland911 a study and research group dedicated to the unanswered questions surrounding the events of 9/11.
Reynolds: "The one towering fact is that the 9/11 research community can prove beyond a reasonable doubt that professional demolition brought down the three trade center buildings WTC 1, WTC2 & WTC7. These unprecedented collapses in steel-framed skyscrapers bear all the earmarks of demolition. The jetliner attacks might be described as diversions that facilitated and covered the primary attacks via demolition... '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.'"
Mr. Reynolds was a guest speaker at a day long briefing on July 22, organized by Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, to address the 9/11 Commission's Final Report one year later. The event included former government intelligence workers, academics, victims' family members and authors addressing the flaws and weaknesses in the report. The event will be broadcast on C-SPAN2 from 8:00pm - 11:30pm on Wed., August 31st.

A Critical Review of Morgan Reynolds' Why Did the Trade Center Skyscrapers Collapse?
by Jim Hoffman
Version 1.1, June 26, 2005
The article Why Did the Trade Center Skyscrapers Collapse? published on the libertarian-oriented website LewRockwell.com, has garnered considerable attention. It makes the case for the controlled demolition of the Twin Towers and Building 7 with much the same eloquence as David Ray Griffin, whom it cites. Its author, Morgan Reynolds, brings unprecedented credentials to the community of skeptics of the official story: He is professor emeritus at Texas A&M University, former director of the Criminal Justice Center at the National Center for Policy Analysis, and former chief economist for the US Labor Department during 2001-2002.
