Counterpunch Special: "Why Did the World Trade Towers Fall?"
When one of the comments on this 911blogger.com site pointed to the CounterPunch page with the statement of the Anti-Minutemen protesters at Columbia, my curiosity was prompted by this ad line:
Special Investigation: Why Did the World Trade Towers Fall?
(top of the page).
Really?
And this thingie is not just a paraphrase of FEMA / NIST reports? Or one that re-phrases what Popular Mechanics tries to tell us?
It really is a "special investigation"?
Man, I'm impressed.... these guys must now be under a lot of pressure if they feel the need to take up the topic from their "gatekeeper" angle....
And whaaaaat?? This "Special Investigation" is available in the subscriber version only?!?
Anyone here able to post lots of quotes on some website (under "fair use" terms, of course, blah blah)? Anyone seen a public response to this CounterPunch special already?

I asked someone to post this
I asked someone to post this last week, and received no response. Maybe you will have more luck.
yeah, ive been asking around
yeah, ive been asking around myself and havent found any subscribers. kind of surprising, even though Counterpunch gatekeeps on a lot of issues(9/11 being the most obvious), they usually have a lot of good stuff.
Well if it's propaganda then
Well if it's propaganda then I'd bet Cockburn aka "The Gonorrhea Gatekeeper" won't be getting any more approval from Paul Craig Roberts to post his stuff;
"in our last newsletter: Paul Craig Roberts on the Collapse of America"
i would love to hear PCR's
i would love to hear PCR's opinion of Cockburn after his latest anti-9/11 truth screeds.
Same here, he should blast
Same here, he should blast those f*cking gatekeeping frauds.
Dang!
Want to see this! Not a subscriber either. Anyone?
I've read this article as I
I've read this article as I am a subscriber to their newsletter. I'll be posting a response to the second half of the essay, the part that is on the topic of the collapse of the towers, this week. I will say this, no study was done. Cockburn's theory of why the towers collapsed is based on asking a physicist friend to cook up a rationale. The fact that Cockburn seeks a source beyond the 911 commission or NIST report tells you everything you need to know.
I'll write up a full response soon, in the meantime you might check out my response to the first half of the essay.

Cockburn
The man is Devil Spawn. No wonder he has an illustration of a devil on his "Devil's Advocate" column for the Nation. Sorry, I'm not usually given to hyperbole, but could not resist. Paging Alex Jones!
