NIST's Impressive Pile...

According to a critique by Mark H. Gaffney "Dead On Arrival: The NIST 9/11 Report on the WTC Collapse," the NIST report "remains the official US government explanation for why the WTC collapsed on 9/11....the report itself collapses under scrutiny. There is no doubt that the NIST investigation was politically controlled by limiting its scope, thereby making the truth unobtainable."

According to its website, "NIST is a non-regulatory federal agency...its mission is to promote U.S. innovation and industrial competitiveness by advancing measurement science, standards, and technology in ways that enhance economic security and improve our quality of life." NIST also plays a strong role in supporting police state technology as well, "NIST is playing a key role in enhancing the nation’s homeland security...NIST is helping the millions of individuals in law enforcement, the military, emergency services, information technology, airport and building security, and other areas protect the American public from terrorist threats."

Although not an investigative agency, NIST maintains another website: NIST and the World Trade Center that actually displays a photo of a large stack of its final reports on the investigation (as shown above).
