There has been plenty of evidence gathered, plenty of experts in there fields have investigated the events, and time and time again, it is shown both through the evidence in the rubble and through simulation that steel trusses with out there fire proofing are unsafe and will collapse when exposed to fire (not to mention a plane).

What we have is incomplete information from a variety of sources ranging from poor to decent credibility. I certainly admire the people playing detective and trying to sort things out, and it's amazing to see how far some studies have come like /Loose Change/. But there is still a certain amount of fog... at least for me.

The videos that were gobbled up are being released, to the public. I don’t know why they were taken in the first place, overreaction on the government’s side I guess, but they are being released, with exception being the security cameras at the pentagon its self, unfortunately, it is a security risk to release there positions, I completely understand them not wanting to release those tapes.

Release a better video of the Pentagon attack or something. Explain the melting steel issue. Explain the cell phones. Explain _something_! I mean if it's really as simple as the conservative media makes it out to be, then disproving (with *hard* evidence) *everything* in a study like /Loose Change/ would be a piece of cake.

They have cleared up many of the issues you raised, you just have to look. There was no melted steel, none, this is a common misconception that many conspiracy theorist post on there web pages that is just plane wrong. no one besides them has claimed it was molten steel, all quotes that I have seen regarding the molten metal have been disputed by the person saying they were quoted, disputed that they said metal, not steel.

Don’t be wary of the government for 9/11; be wary of what they do in the name of 9/11.
