Are you kidding me?'
You seriously think this is how people react?
Your same logic means that if a police officer were to pull you over for no reason and demand to search your car, you wouldn't have a problem with that.
or
Police show up at your door and want to search your house?
or
They want to search your computer?
or
Your bank records?
or
your personal affiliations?
or
Your telephone calls?
or
The books you read and movies you rent?
or
Who you voted for and why?
or
strip searched ?
etc.
etc.
etc.
After all since you are innocent and have nothing to hide, you wouldn't have a problem....RIGHT ??????
You're completely wrong about "human nature". Humans typically don't want their privacy and space intruded upon....even when they're innocent.
In its court papers, Swiss Re shows how Silverstein first tried to buy just $1.5 billion in property damage and business-interruption coverage. When his lenders objected, he discussed buying a $5 billion policy. Ultimately, he settled on the $3.5 billion figure, which was less than the likely cost of rebuilding. His lenders, led by GMAC, a unit of General Motors (nyse: GM - news - people ), which financed nearly the entire cost of the lease, agreed
Complicating the picture is the fact that there was no insurance policy yet issued on the properties when they were destroyed. Since the Port Authority transferred management of the properties to a group of investors led by Mr. Silverstein shortly before the attack, the insurance policy was under negotiation at the time the buildings collapsed and final wording had not been completed. The insurers have agreed to be bound by the ''binder'' agreements on the coverage although differences of opinion emerged yesterday about their interpretation.
Silverstein, who must pay the authority rent, said it has gotten $2.75 billion from him since 2001. The Port Authority in turn has paid him hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines because it failed to complete some of the site preparations so building could begin

If he had a serious probable cause then yes, I must submit to a search. Same as if the owner of the store and simply noticed me walk past the front of his store - he has no grounds to ask me to empty my pockets. But the fact that I was acting suspicious in the back of his store gives him probable cause to ask for a reasonable search - me emptying my pockets.

READ IT. Don't waste our time because you don't want to spend yours to inform yourself. I can provide you information on any aspect of the bldgs you want if you just ask. I've read and watched a lot on this . I'm not going to insult you by calling you names but I will say you are ill-informed or you have other reasons for being here. If you have legitimate questions then pose them and I and others, I'm sure, will attempt to provide you answers.
Just because I hold a contrary view to your does not mean I am misinformed, mate. I consider myself to be quite well informed, I just don't think that there is the evidence to suggest the WTC was felled by any other means other than aircraft, the resultant fire and building design. What's wrong with that, apart from not fitting in with your belief?
If you cannot articulate - or point me to compelling evidence to the contrary then you just have to live with it. I am open minded to compelling evidence.
You are right not to call me names because when you do, we all know you've lost the arguement. Try to be civil as that helps with debate.
Regards

'What harm can a PROPER investigation do? None. It would clear things up once and for all. The OP's main point about raising the right question, and getting a proper answer by the lack of one is excellent.'
Sorry to add a proper investigation would do no good as the same conspiritors against the American People would head up the investigation.
I not only believe the OS is a coverup but I know in my gut it is. I ask the disbelievers this: If you think the US Govt is so honest and truthful, why have they not given us an explanation as to why these "planes" were not intercepted? Especially at the Pentagon?
and I don't know this for a fact, but was there ever a published passenger list from the crashed passenger planes? I don't remember memorial services and families of dead passengers speaking out. Please guide me to this information I missed.

Sorry was busy then, anyway as requested here`s a list of some pretty impressive people..........

Thanks. I would argue that they are not that impressive. Most are individuals with opinions and books to sell, retired years ago or have a grudge and some were not that senior at all. I thought you were going to provide some real heavy weights.
