| '''Scholars for 9/11 Truth''' ("S9/11T") is a group of about 300 people, including faculty, students, and scholars<ref></ref> who question the mainstream media and government account of the ].<ref></ref> The group was founded on ], ]. | |||
| ==Overview== | |||
| The group believes that the investigations by ] and ] regarding the ] buildings are inadequate, and that crucial facts and questions pertaining to the attacks have been ignored by senior government officials. These questions include: | |||
| *What caused building #7 of the World Trade Center to collapse? | |||
| *How did all three WTC buildings collapse close to the speed of which they would have collapsed had there been no structural stability at all? | |||
| *What happened to the during the collapse? | |||
| *What is the source of molten metal which was observed pooling in the rubble? | |||
| The group is Congress for access to the remaining evidence in order for scientific research to be carried out to determine whether or not explosives were utilized to bring down the WTC buildings. One of their beliefs is that ], which can be used to weld or cut metal, played a role in causing the collapse of the towers. They claim this possible presence of thermite throws the entire official government explanation of the collapse into question.<ref></ref>,<ref></ref> | |||
| According to the S9/11T website, "The members of S9/11T are encouraged to take an active role by devoting themselves to reporting the results of research on 9/11 to the nation and the world by means of lectures, articles, and other venues." | |||

| ==History== | |||
| ===National 9/11 Debate=== | |||
| According to an S9/11T , a debate was proposed on the subject of 9/11. The debate would be between two seven-member teams: a "civilian" team and a "government" team. The government team would defend the official story of 9/11, while the civilian team would challenge it. The event was scheduled for ], ] in ]. | |||
| This event was proposed by members of ], who have announced that their civilian team would consist of ], ], ], ], ], ], and ]. | |||
| According to the Scholars website, invitations were extended to the ] members, ] investigators, ] investigators, engineering organizations, and security providers. | |||
| ==="Reclaiming Our Future" conference=== | |||
| In July 2006, many members of the group met in ], for a conference on 9/11 theories, which was covered by some international media.<ref></ref> | |||
| ==Conclusions== | |||
| {{Unreferenced}} | |||
| According to the Scholars' website, their conclusions are based on the results of their own scientific and political research. They suggest that the official version of events on September 11, 2001 is being used to manipulate the American people for political purposes, to undermine the Constitution, launch illegal wars, and subject the people to virtually unrestricted surveillance.{{fact}} | |||
| ==Criticism== | |||
| {{Unreferenced}} | |||
| <!-- added 8/8/06, lot of unreferenced here, requires citation or eventual removal --> | |||
| Some{{fact}} express concern that individual members of the scholars group and its website are promoting theories or speculation not shared by all members of the scholars group nor the ] (such as the idea that military drone planes were used in the attacks, or that ] did not hit the ]<ref></ref>) and may thus discredit the movement <ref></ref>,<ref></ref>, <ref></ref>. Other critics, such as Daryl Bradford Smith<ref></ref>, believe that members of the Scholars group use 'deliberate deception' by promoting theories which involve hydrogen bombs<ref></ref> and links to sites promoting holographic blue sceen planes.<ref></ref> | |||
| Although the 'Resources' page on the scholars' website states, ''"We do not necessarily endorse or concur with conclusions or opinions expressed here, but we think that they provide suggestive and stimulating resources for further contemplation,"'' the website provides neither information nor links to both sides of the Pentagon issue, which many regard as extremely divisive within the movement.{{fact}} By only citing the theory that American Airlines Flight 77 could not have crashed at the Pentagon, with no counter argument, the Scholars site reflects neither the diversity within the scholars nor the 9/11 truth movement itself.{{fact}} | |||
| They <ref></ref> also point to the fact there are no structural engineers listed as members of the group{{fact}}, and the engineers involved with the scholars have little relevant work with the appropriate disciplines, for example , who has focused her work on the stresses of dentistry. | |||
