Steven Jones

One of the most high-profile scholars, tenured BYU Professor Steven E. Jones, was put on paid leave, while BYU administrators determine what to do about him. He wrote a scholarly paper that demonstrates that thermate charges are what actually brought three (count 'em 3) buildings to free fall to the ground, one after another, within seconds.

The suspension of duties came on the heels of a recently published blatant lie by Jonathon Moseley, executive director of the U.S. Seaports Commission, who wrote a piece in WorldNetDaily: 9/11 Bush bashers: which contained this "Editor's note, Aug. 17, 2006: In paragraph four of this column, the author makes an assertion about professor Steven Jones' remarks at a 9/11 symposium broadcast by C-SPAN. A review of the program online evidenced no such comments by Jones.

Moseley wrote: "When asked if violent revolution was necessary, this scientist declared – in front of national TV cameras – that there is no peaceful way to achieve the group's goals. In the context of the question, professor Jones was calling for the violent overthrow of the government."

It's still there in the article, despite the fact that the Editor found no evidence. Jones' entire presentation on CSPAN can be found at the top link.

A web page devoted to Steven Jones quotes him: "'Things have changed some around here you may have heard, but I’m still working hard!!'"
