I was just thinking about this the other day. If they had been truthful in the pub narr about 7 it may have saved them because its easier to explain that if you are lying. By this I mean, the twin towers were coming down (from a plane) and we brought down 7 so it was controlled and evacuated and didnt cause loss of life days down the road (you know what mean). Now they still would have not gotten away with it forever but less of us may have questioned it.
