Since there happens to be no “evidence” that the World Trade Center was brought down by explosives rather than planes, it is hardly surprising that, as Michael Savitz complains [Letters, November 3], Michael Miner hasn’t “look[ed] into the reasoning behind the position.” I happen not to believe that George Bush is a giraffe, but I have to admit I haven’t investigated the lack of evidence for such a belief in depth. To say that David Ray Griffin’s “argument” “is one that has been developed evidentiarily, inductively, and cooperatively over the course of these several years by the many people working in what is usually called the “9/11 truth community” is a bit like saying that Scientology’s argument that the galactic overlord Xenu brought humans to earth 75 millions of years ago has been developed through the careful sorting of evidence in keeping with the precepts of scientific rationality.
