[Rodney King]

"Idon't mean to deny the significance of 5,000 or more human lives, but wouldn't it have made more sense to take out two or three nuclear power plants with those planes? That would have killed millions, and rendered major population centers uninhabitable. It would not have taken a genius to think of this. (It still wouldn't -- a good argument against nuclear power.)

1. Chernobyl went in to a full melt-down, and nowhere near "millions" died as a result.

2. This all assumes that a plane crashing in to a Nuclear Reactor would cause a meltdown. This is very unlikely. Any disruption to the normal operations would cause the reactor to shut down. Sure, if there was complete penetration of the concrete there would be a small radioactive release, and the site would become uninhabitable, but that would, in my opinion, have been preferable to the WTC event.

Excellent points and I'm in full agreement.

However...60 Israeli nationals have been picked up by the FBI, many members of the military, and some with training in explosives.
Zim American Isreali Shipping Co., one of Isreal's largest companies, pulled its offices out of two floors (16th & 17th floors of the North Tower) just days before 9/11.
Breaking their lease cost them $50,000.

A Mossad-CIA operation with the FBI left out of the loop?
