As Big Al pointed out, it's all conjecture and speculation. That's the problem I see with releasing this amount of ambiguous information. There no way to put into any context.
With what is now known, there's plenty of context for all the destruction being caused by 19 Arabs and 4 hijacked aircraft and that rules out the existence of bombs or any man-made demolition.

I'm not following your logic here. How exactly does a bomb threat called in by some guy 3 hours prior to the attacks rule out bombs or CD at the WTC?

There's plenty of other evidence that rules that out directly. I wouldn't run with this notion that a text message proves anything.

Um, I just googled "acoustic kitty" to see what was up with that. The google page has a foot note about the text message on 9/11 I mentioned earlier!

Which one of you guys did this? It had to be someone here. Childlike Empress I'm looking in your direction...

It was election day in NYC and the polls open at 6AM. Some kook might have tried to disrupt the election. Most of the schools are polling places.

I wonder how many days a year NYC doesn't see a bomb squad call. I read the book Bomb Squad by Esposito & gerstein (about the NYC bomb squad) but I don't recall the numbers.

There were bomb scares at Stuyvesant High School NY and also the World Financial Centre on 9/11, both of which are on/near West Street.

It was added on 27th, anonymously, by someone at the IP address shown (right-hand column).

Whoever added it should at least include a direct link to the message on Wikileaks.
