Heh

(Headsup from Instapundit) Nah. Don't expect someone to actually care about Human rights abuses by the allies of the left (Castro, Mugabe, Islamofascists). They only care about politically correct people.

Fred Thompson as another Reagan?

Also from Instapundit: Attention Rosie.
“[A] seismology report prepared at Columbia University provides a glimpse into how that damage [to the southwest corner of WTC7] was caused. The report notes that the collapses of the Twin Towers caused little ground instability, but nevertheless discharged a massive amount of energy—as much as 10⁷ joules in the kinetic energy of dust and debris. Except for temperature, the effect was similar to the energy contained in the pyroclastic ash given off in volcanic eruptions. ‘Only a very small portion of the [gravitational energy associated with the collapse of each tower] was converted into seismic waves,’ the report states. ‘Most of the energy went into deformation of buildings and the formation of rubble and dust.’”

The report continues: “Most of the effects of those collapses on adjacent structures and people were related to the kinetic energy of falling debris and the pressure on buildings exerted by dust- and particle-laden air mobilized by falling debris.” From 300 hundred yards away—the distance from the North Tower to WTC7—that debris cloud devastated the base of World Trade Center 7. —Davin Coburn

Probably this will get me another "READ THE EVIDENCE" post from a "truther", as if I should take the word of an unknown person on the internet over a magazine that I've been reading for about 50 years, and one that would lose a large readership of knowledgeable engineers who would respond by canceling their subscription if the magazine tried to fake information.

And unlike Rosie, I actually took some physics in college, so understand what they are talking about.
