Think about the amount of HE required to demolish TWO skyscrapers that large. That would require a massive amount of analysis & planning so a large group of people would have to be involved (making it less likely that a secret that heinous could be kept), the buildings would have to be honeycombed with HE, detonators & wires running everywhere, and then all that would have to be coordinated with multiple independent groups of foreign terrorists simultaneously hijacking planes and flying them into separate targets. All without anyone else in the government or who worked in the buildings noticing any of these preparations. I mean come on. That is some seriously X-Files shit, dude. Is the smoking man behind all of it?
The simple fact is that there will never be a way to know exactly what happened in the core of the buildings after those planes hit. Maybe they already had structural issues before the impacts. Maybe key bolted joints were fatiguing 30 years after construction. Maybe some of the welding was sub-par and slipped through inspection. Who the fuck knows? Shit happens all the time, especially in the construction industry. Whatever happened, it didn't defy physics, and it wasn't because PNAC or some govt. agency decided to blow up the towers.

The WTC was greatly unoccupied.... there were lots of empty floors. Many people reported lots of "construction" going on above and below them in the months before the attacks. Also, many tennants were moved from one floor to another in the months before the attacks.
Two weeks before the attack the bomb sniffing dogs were all taken off duty w/ no explaination.
The weekend before the attack, there was a power outtage for the entire building for a "network upgrade" that meant none of the security systems were running, and tennants reported seeing *many* unusual workmen about.
The WTC wreckage shows all sorts of evidence of shaped charges cutting the metal at an angle to allow the building to shift as it fell, SOP for demolitions.
When it was destroyed, the WTC was losing money hand over fist. The guy that owned the building purchased it shortly before the attacks, and took out a massive new insurance policy on it that specifically emphasized coverage of a "complete loss" of the buildings due to terrorist attacks. He also sued after the attack to get double the payout because he argued each plane constituted a "seperate attack". Homeboy went from wasting millions of dollars buying a money losing property to making like $7 billion if I remember correctly.
I have two words regarding the WTC attacks: "insurance fraud". And of course, why not help out your New American Century pals that need a "Pearl Harbor" event to allow them to take over the world, right?
...anyway, I don't really know what to think... all I know is that it seems at least as plausible for a demo crew to take down the buildings as it is for the planes alone ('cause IMO the planes can't do it, not in the way that they were actually observed). But you're right... it would take a *ton* of people working on this job. I think the truth will come out eventually as long as people keep asking about the discrepancies.
And for the record, I think Lee Harvey Oswald killed Kennedy, acting alone, w/ three rifle shots from the book depository.
