[edit] O'Donnell comments

With all respect to those who are more involved in the 9/11 and twin towers attacks, etc. this section is probably ripe for conversion as O'Donnell has no national forum with which to build much of a groundswell on the issue. Were she still doing daytime talk I have little doubt the subject would be brought up and we would indeed have much more to document but I think it's smarter to convert this to her New York City-centric POV which fostered her love of Broadway and, in part, prompted her to bring on 9/11 rescue workers and to bring up sensitive 9/11 subjects even if her point of view wasn't shared by all. Pretty much all the "controversies" are pretty much non-issues now that she's not on the show. If she had said the holocaust never happened or some wildly outrageous comment then we should document but even the NIST report is taking those conspiracy theories seriously enough to look into them. I see her as simply one of the most high-profile people who voiced that view prominently. It's shared by many and frankly it's just not that big of story as far as O'Donnell is concerned now that she's off the show. Benjiboi 08:56, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

I appreciate your comments. Nevertheless, the reason for WTC 7's collapse is a serious one, and her views do not exist in a vacuum. That is, the prevailing theory is that WTC 7 was brought down due to the damage it sustained from the collapse of the two main towers. My edits indicate that the NIST report is not final, nevertheless it does deserve mention in this section because it is the official word thus far. And I've removed the last bit about her planned rebuttal because (1) it never happened and (2) it will likely never happen because she is no longer on "The View", and (3) it was a needless detail that seemed more like an advertisements for the books written by these two "experts".

And I will re-add those "needless details" because she made a point of saying she was not an expert and would find those who were (at least in her opinion) who were - as you state, "her views do not exist in a vacuum". Getting back to my main point, the article is all about O'Donnell so unless we see reliable sources continue to bring up her and the subject or she brings it up the section will probably be going anyway, due mainly to the fact that she's not on air presently so not talking about any issues including this one.
