WhoWhatWhy.com informs readers of NYC ballot initiativeEditor's Note: Investigative reporter Russ Baker launched the online publication WhoWhatWhy.com five years ago to do what he calls "forensic journalism"—that is, reporting that is "rigorous, relentless, and scientific." Sounds like a description of AE911Truth's research, doesn't it? In mid-August, Baker wrote an article about the NYC Coalition for Accountability NOW (NYC CAN), and interviewed its founder, Ted Walter. You can read the piece here: Putting a 9/11 Mystery on the BallotI was standing blocks from Building 7 of the World Trade Center complex and staring directly at it when it collapsed. Working for the Los Angeles Times, I had arrived at the World Trade Center as the South and North Tower were making their rapid and deadly descents in the morning. That afternoon, I called in a series of reports to a staffer in the New York bureau. I was literally on the phone with the office at 5:21 p.m., describing the fires burning in the structure as the building began—and completed—its remarkably fast, smooth descent to the ground. I described the building neatly pancaking, and the Pulitzer Prize winner on the other end taking my dictation declared: "That sounds like a controlled demolition."
