Re: Steve Jones and his physics analysis of 9/11...
The planning
Wiring the building with explosives: Ignoring that the people in the building probably would have noticed the construction going on, the walls being torn out, the floors getting replaced. We've all seen how hard it is just keeping a robot going: How did the controls for the explosives remain fully intact after a fully-fueled 767 hit them and set off a huge fire? How did the pilots of the planes hit the exact floor that the explosives were wired at so that it looked real? To answer this question, the conspiracy theorists need to present a floor plan of the wiring needed to sustain an airliner hit and subsequent fuel/building fire.
The competence and the motive
Regarding the ability of the government to actually execute this plan: We have seen over the years that the CIA/military/administration is not particularely competent in various ways. The intelligence pre-iraq, the execution of the post-war cleanup in Iraq, the inability to capture Osama, the response to Katrina, the ENDLESS leaks of information that they deem classified or pertinent to national security. Hell, if you read the entire set of NORAD transcripts on 9/11, it would almost be a comedy if the results of their screwups weren't so grave. How could an administration that has had so many failures and so many leaks successfully execute a plan like this without anyone involved coming forward or the plan going wrong? What was their motive? If their motive was political gain, now that the administration has been in pretty dire straits for almost a year, why haven't we seen another attack?
The crew
A scheme to demolish the WTC 1, 2, and 7 with explosives would probably require hundreds of people. The 20 people that flew the planes would all have friends and family that would wonder where their loved ones went. The people that wired the buildings would wonder why they're placing little black boxes in very specific points around every support column in the building on a specific floor. Those people, if they didn't already know what they were doing, might have figured it out when the towers went down. They would need to be kept quiet. The people that acquired the explosives, hired the contractors, engineered the explosives layout, and paid the bills need to be kept quiet.
The pilots
If the people flying the planes weren't the 20 men shown, who all had backgrounds in extremist islam, where are those men now? Who are the people talking in arabic on the black box tapes? Is it just a coincidence that 20 arabic men with extremist backgrounds just happened to be flying on the 4 planes that crashed? Was the CIA/Illuminati/Presidents planning this for so long that they recruited these men in their teenage years and forced them to attend camps so that there was a good backstory? If the planes weren't piloted and hijacked by the arab men that the mainstream story claims they were, how come all the passengers who made phone calls said they were being held by arab men? Why would the CIA risk having some of its own agents (the 19 hijackers) deported when they overstayed their visas?
How have all these people been kept quiet? Throughout history, there have been whistleblowers in almost everything. The worst verified whistleblower for 9/11 were the people in the FBI that came forward saying that various briefings had talked about arab men at flight schools, and that Bush had been briefed on Osama's plan to turn airliners into missiles.
The government and mainstream stories has answers for all these questions. The mainstream story has a theory for who, how, where, why, and when all the events leading up to 9/11 occurred. The conspiracy theorist approach needs to be able to answer ANY of these questions plausibly, and with strong evidence. If it cannot, then it cannot stand up.
