Subject: Letter to the Nation (12/10/03)
http://www.commondreams.org/views03/1209-02.htm
(I sent the following letter to the Nation magazine
today regarding the article above.)
 * * *
After reading Robert Jay Liftonâs recent piece
(âAmerican Apocalypseâ, the Nation, 12/8/03) I have
decided not to renew my long-running subscription to
the Nation. In it Lifton continually asserts that the
US was attacked on September 11, 2001 by Osama bin
Laden and Al Qaeda. Meanwhile, it takes only about
fifteen minutes to scientifically confirm that the
official story of 9/11/01 could not possibly be true.
For example, the cutting charges that helped topple
World Trade Center 7 are easily seen in the Naudet
brothersâ documentary â911â. In addition, both of the
Twin towers fell as quickly as they would have in a
free fall from gravity. This is impossible. The laws
of physics are violated if we accept that the
buildings fell as quickly as they would in a free fall
while simultaneously pulverizing all of the concrete,
discharging material hundreds of feet away from the
buildings and leaving heat sources which were detected
weeks after the implosions. In addition, neither
tower was troubled very much with the enormous amount
of friction involved when an upper floor falls on the
one immediately below. (For example, if floor 97
collides with floor 96 the friction of the lower
floorâs concrete, steel trusses, desks, chairs and
people, etc. would slow the collapse down.)Â Without
energy inputs, neither the North nor South towers
could have collapsed as quickly they did solely from
the potential kinetic energy from gravity that they
each had available to them.
The more one examines the events of 9/11/01 the more
scientifically impossible and logically implausible
they become. Meanwhile, the Bush regime has used 911
to shred the Bill of Rights (via the USA PATRIOT Act),
invade two sovereign nations illegally (i.e.,
Afghanistan and Iraq), install a concentration camp
(i.e., Guantanamo Bay) and to lay innumerable
foundations of a domestic police state. With
neoconservatives now writing articles in mainstream
publications which suggest that the US will be soon be
âattackedâ as it was on 9/11/01, and that when it
happens Bush will declare martial law, the Nation
Magazineâs frequent support for the Empireâs
propaganda on 911 is inconsistent with my progressive
ideals.
Sincerely,
Scott Loughrey
