Similar to a hardcore right-winger's fond memories of bush's high approval ratings before the majority of the country woke the hell up.

Dr. Van Romero's current opinion, which he gained after looking at the issue more carefully, is that it does not look like controlled demolition. Your way around this is to speculate another tinfoil hat theory that he changed his tune to fit in with the rational crowd that he wanted to work for.
That doesn't make sense, because a few hours after the attacks he speculated that bombs were planted as part of the larger terror attacks including the planes. As he explained on September 11, 2001, his bomb theory fit with a common terrorist tactic of diversionary attack. He never said our government was responsible, so how could he possibly feel pressured to dishonestly recant his first impression that bombs caused the buildings to fall?

Today, Dr. Van Romero thinks that fires brought the buildings down, and he isn't pleased that his quote from 9/11 has been twisted for careless use by conspiracy theorists.
