"You got shortchanged
on this History Channel program...."

I just received an email from 9/11 researcher James Gourley:
Steve,
You got shortchanged on this History Channel program. You got
to say about 2 sentences at the beginning. Did you tell them about
the dust? My girlfriend keeps yelling at the TV about the dust.
This thing is so aggravating to watch. Did you see it?
James
Yes, James, I saw it. And yes, I EMPHATICALLY told them about
the dust -- the iron-rich microspheres especially, and the molten
metal beneath the rubble of the Towers and flowing out the South
Tower just before it collapsed. And the many fine, peer-reviewed
articles in the Journal of 9/11 Studies. Somehow all those points
were missed by these guys... as they hit on the "softer"
areas of 9/11 research -- flight 93 (shot down..), missile hitting
the Pentagon? and so on...
(Article continues below)
You said it -- I, we -- were short-changed -- out of two hours,
scientists and engineers from the 9/11 Truth community were given
just a couple of sentences. I would like to see the scientists
and engineers who have contributed mightily to the 9/11 truth
movement given more time on-air. Kevin Ryan, Richard Gage, Tony
Szamboti, Jim Hoffman, Gordon Ross, Cate Jenkins, Greg Jenkins,
Kenneth Kuttler, Crockett Grabbe, David Griscom -- I could go
on. NONE of these scientists and engineers for 9/11 truth were
interviewed or at least none of them were given time. A couple
of sentences in two hours of stuff...
OTOH, I was pleased to see the discussion on the Mineta testimony
(which appears prominently in three papers in the Journal, and
which I also emphasize in talks such as at the Vancouver BC conference).
They tried to wiggle out of that by saying that perhaps Mineta
meant flight 93, 50 miles out etc -- but Mineta (bless him) made
it clear before the Commission that he was talking about the flight
approaching the Pentagon. And he stuck by his testimony about
the Cheney behavior -- something new that comes out in the History
channel piece. I thought David Ray Griffin did well on this point
also -- why this could not be an order to shoot down the approaching
plane.
Let's watch how hits on the major 9/11 sites pick up now... particularly
at the Journalof911Studies.com interests me.
I would also like to thank those who have been improving several
Wikipedia sites related to 9/11 (not me -- but I've noticed).
