Promised to do some trainblogging and am catching up on a deluge of e-mail. Several readers sent this disturbing story yesterday of a Brigham Young University professor named Steven Jones who believes that 9/11 was an inside job and that bombs, not the Islamist hijackers, are to blame for obliterating the Twin Towers and all of the innocent people inside them.

“It is quite plausible that explosives were pre-planted in all three buildings and set off after the two plane crashes — which were actually a diversion tactic,” he writes. “Muslims are (probably) not to blame for bringing down the WTC buildings after all,” Jones writes.

Popular Mechanics debunks the tinfoilers’ claims here.
No matter. Jones insists:

The ’symmetry data’ emphasized here, along with other data, provide strong evidence for an ‘inside’ job.”

Who the shadowy “insiders” are, Jones won’t say. Look for Jones to be hired as a script consultant for Oliver Stone’s 9/11 movie any day now.
