You define integrity. Thank you for all you have done.

one day he will be honored and remembered.

When Barack Obama was campaigning for presidency in 2008, he railed at the politicization of science" under the prior administration (and before).

"I will restore the basic principle that government decisions should be based on the best-available, scientifically valid evidence and not on the ideological predispositions of agency officials or political appointees".

Unfortunately for us all, that promise was never honored. In the case of 9/11, the pledge was thrown to the ground in flames, squashed into the ground, and discarded into the nearest trash bin.

The politicization of science has (arguably) never been so flagrant, as regards to the official "investigations" into 9/11. What does it ultimately indicate about our society, when those who conduct honest science with results that are inconvenient to the credibility of the powers-that-be, get silenced, suspended, fired or worse?

Was NIST's study of the destruction of the World Trade Center submitted for an anonymous peer-review process, an essential part of scientific research? Apparently not.... it was more an establishment approved "decree" based on what was deemed politically "acceptable". If NIST had proceeded with the correct scientific method and taken *all* the evidence into consideration, they would have arrived at a different set of conclusions. But is it possible, in today's world, for a government agency to investigate an event like this, and publish conclusions that implicated elements within that same government? Or is that a redundant question?

The sole favorably peer reviewed studies, still unrebutted to this day, are those conducted by Dr. Jones and team, but they could only get published in the Bentham Open Forum... and in consequence, the editor in chief Ms. Marie-Paule Pileni resigns (or perhaps, is forced to?).

I watched an earlier version Brett's movie in San Francisco at the Herbst Theater, on the afternoon of 9/11. It tells the saga of a scientist of long standing repute and integrity who recognized that a monstrous lie had been foisted on the American people and the world. For his efforts in the service of justice and truth, and arriving at conclusions that were scientifically sound but politically incendiary (pun intentional), he got the shaft from his BYU professorship.

In my book, Dr. Jones should be awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian decoration in the nation.
