WTC7 wasn't a direct target.
Yeah, you're rightfully skeptical. It evidently wasn't intended to be hit with a plane, no, and we have no way of knowing exactly what the other targets were (although the plans for the "planes operation" captured in Manila in 1996 on Ramzi Yousef's laptop PC are "illuminating"), or the significance of why anyone but
indirect beneficiaries of 7's collapse would want it so- but any such persons or organizations would probably lack the means, thus the plannning-- even if the pandemonium of the tower collapses would've provided them with a "golden" opportunity.
A short look at 7's
tenant list reveals some curious details; CIA, S&EC, US SS, etc.- but nothing fitting a criminological profile of a beneficiary; businesses tend to need to stay in business, and organizations organized.
I've heard the suggestion that the SEC had valuable evidence stored there for important litigation indicting Wall Street business persons, but doubt that destroying a building to avoid jail is more locial than just trying to destroy the evidence itself, knowing that such evidence could've easily been copied or stored elsewhere.

I'm putting on my Conspiracy Hat here, for the sake of clarity... I'm hoping HA will discuss the last one...
If 7 was intentionally demolished, it was for one (or more) of the following reasons:
(1) To collect insurance. (Too obvious)
(2) To avoid paying damages if it fell "wrong" onto adjacent buildings.
(3) It was (or later became) part of the PsyOp.
(4) It was itself a crime scene. (Many believe this)
(5) It was a deliberate
diversion. (My favorite, and least talked about)
