I don't know why Steven Jones was put on leave, perhaps you could link me to a non-conspiracy theory website so I can find out this information.

KennyJC said:I do know that Kevin Ryan was fired as he represented his views as the views of the company.
No, he didn't. From "The Terror Conspiracy", page 54:
Although Ryan made it clear that he was speaking only for himself, not his company, his employers' reaction was decisive. On November 22, 2004, the South Bend Tribune carried this headline, "South Bend firm's lab director fired after questioning federal probe." UL officials denied any testing of the WTC steel and said Ryan was terminated because his letter was written "without UL's knowledge or authorization."
KennyJC said:He didn't even have any expertise in steel as his position was in water treatment.
The guy was a director/manager in the lab that tested the steel used in the WTC buildings. I don't know how much he knew initially, but he did have this to say:
http://www.wanttoknow.info/911kevinrryanfired"You may know that there are a number of current and former government employees that have risked a great deal to help us to know the truth..."
In other words, he may not have known enough when things started, but by the time he wrote the letters, it seems like he definitely did. And he's gone much further since:
WTC Collapse: The Science
Scientists Steven Jones and Kevin Ryan have combined efforts to produce the most in-depth analysis of the collapse of the World Trade Center buildings yet accomplished! This unique video consists of two complete, fully edited presentations on one DVD!
Dr. Steven E. Jones, professor of physics at BYU, thoroughly and definitively debunks the FEMA and NIST reports promoted by the U.S. government. His analysis of the collapse of World Trade Center leads to only one conclusion -- all three buildings were demolished with thermite and explosives. Jones discusses building 7 in detail, since over half the population of America does not know that it too collapsed on 9/11.
Kevin Ryan, former lab manager and scientist at Underwriters Labs, the company that tested the steel used in the World Trade Center buildings, was fired by UL when he went public with information about the cover-up. He explains in detail why the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) report on the World Trade Center collapses is false.
KennyJC said:As for me, I'm not a republican. I hate the republicans, I hate Bush, I hate Sarah Palin, and the South is full of fucking retards. I'm not keen on Obama either, but I guess you have to pick the best of a bad bunch.
I've heard that Obama could use a few improvements myself, but I like to think that he'll be a fairly good president. Ofcourse, I think that Bill Clinton was a fairly good president. And no, I don't think he should have lied to his family or his wife about 'that woman', but there were no colossal terrorist attacks or wars during his watch; a botched WTC basement bombing and a brief Somali conflict was about as far as it got.
KennyJC said:Can you accept that it was wrong of Richard Gage to compare the WTC to a cardboard box?
No, because I don't think it was wrong. I sincerely believe that a steel columned building would be a little more resistant then cardboard, so if anything, I think his model should have been made of sturdier stuff. I think anyone could agree that cardboard building could have easily burnt down to the ground, although it wouldn't have done so without a whole lot more fire then was observed on 9/11. But the WTC buildings were made out of steel and concrete and this type of thing clearly didn't happen. Anyway, if you want to technical arguments as to why it was essentially impossible for the WTC buildings to collapse due to fire, you need look no further then the link I have consistently posted here on that, namely this one:

If you've only got the patience for a cardboard box demonstration, however.. well, it's a good start I guess.
