madthumbs says "I'm aware of the explosions prior to, which I've not seen directly related to the destruction of the towers. I've read that they could have been from fuel pouring down the elevator shafts to the basement and igniting. I've also read speculation on them being high tech explosives because of the fine powder residue they left."
i think it's ok to speculate that molten steel under the buildings was caused by explosives and not jet fuel. i don't buy the jet fuel theory at all. if i'm wrong i'm wrong.

What type of explosive would cause molten steel long after the destruction?
I don't buy the Stephen Jones thermate story. I think that debus was right about using thermate to destroy evidence from the planes, not bring down the buildings. In any case, it doesn't seem like thermate could cause these molten pools of steel so long after.

ONEONTA _ An Oneonta man who helped produce a 9/11 conspiracy documentary that became an Internet hit was arrested Monday for allegedly deserting the Army.
Korey Rowe, 24, a veteran of Afghanistan and Iraq, was picked up by deputies at about 10:45 p.m. Monday, Otsego County Sheriff Richard Devlin Jr. said.
Rowe, along with Dylan Avery and Jason Bermas, are members of Louder Than Words, a production company that is working on a third edition of the movie "Loose Change," which contends the U.S. government was involved in the 9/11 terrorist attacks. That edition is intended to be a theatrical release.
Rowe and the other members of Louder Than Words have appeared on radio shows including The Alex Jones Show and have been mentioned in Time magazine. Vanity Fair magazine published a feature story on the group last August.
Since 2002, Rowe was interviewed by The Daily Star several times about "Loose Change" and his experiences in the military.
"We developed information that he was at a county Route 47 residence in Oneonta last night," Devlin said Tuesday.
Rowe was arrested on a "military warrant" that Devlin said was brought to the attention of deputies by the Oneonta Police Department, who received information from a source outside of that department.
Rowe was living at the Route 47 home, Devlin said.
City police officials who were able to comment on the case were unavailable Tuesday night.
After deputies received the information from Oneonta police, they reached out to the Army, and officials from Fort Knox faxed a copy of the warrant, deputies said.
Rowe previously told The Daily Star he enlisted in August 2001. He left the Army in June 2005, according to the Louder Than Words website.
He is being held without bail in the Otsego County jail and is waiting to be picked up by U.S. Army officials, Devlin said.
The Associated Press reported last month that deserters are rarely court-martialed by the Army.
Although 3,301 soldiers deserted in the 2006 fiscal year, there were just 174 troops court-martialed.
The AP report said some deserters are returned to their units, while others are discharged in non-criminal proceedings.
Desertion rates have been rising since 2004, but the Army does little to seek out deserters and instead relies on a database that can be cross-checked by local law-enforcement agencies during encounters such as traffic stops, the report states.
The Department of Defense public-affairs office did not immediately return a call for comment Tuesday.
A woman who answered Rowe’s cell phone Tuesday and identified herself only as Kristy said Rowe was "taken" from a house Monday night.
The Louder Than Words website lists a Kristy Kissner as an administrative assistant for the group.
"All we know is that he has been arrested," the woman said. "We know nothing. We just hope that whatever happened comes out."
Rowe’s parents did not immediately return a message left Tuesday.
In media interviews, Rowe has criticized the Iraq war and the Bush administration.
Desertion is defined under Article 85 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice as being when a soldier leaves his or her unit or place of duty with the intent to remain away from there permanently or quits his or her unit with the intent to avoid hazardous duty. It is considered a felony.
He confessed to killing civilians, fashions himself a hero for bull horning, misleading, and demobilizing, and goes to prison for the one good thing he did.

#2 story on Fox News, and turns out he's got an honorable discharge which makes this stink like a publicity stunt.
"An individual was warned about taking pictures on military property in Rome, N.Y.," Allison said Wednesday. "The vehicle was registered to Korey Rowe."
The case was handed over to Otsego County sheriff’s deputies, who arrested Rowe on Monday night, Allison said.
A source close to Rowe’s family said the 24-year-old was at the end of his active-duty enlistment in the summer of 2005 and was trying to avoid serving a second tour of duty in Iraq under the Army’s stop-loss policy. That policy, in place since the end of the Vietnam War, authorizes the military in wartime to keep a soldier beyond his or her active-duty enlistment termination date.

Secret Buildings You May Not Photograph, Part 643

Secret Buildings You May Not Photograph, Part 643
If you happen by 3701 N. Fairfax Drive in Arlington and decide you have a sudden craving for a photograph of a generic suburban office building, and you point your camera at said structure, you will rather quickly be greeted by uniformed security folks who will demand that you delete the image and require that you give up various personal information.
When Keith McCammon unwittingly took a picture of that building, he was launched on an odyssey that has so far involved an Arlington police officer, the chief of police and the defense of the United States of America.
McCammon could not have been expected to know when he wandered by the building that it houses the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, a low-profile wing of the Defense Department that conducts all manner of high-tech research that evolves into weapons systems and high-order strategery.
