  - must readDavid Ray Griffin objectively reveals the joke that was the 911 Commission. Anyone with an open mind should study this courageous work to be "up to speed" on the unanswered questions surrounding this tragedy. The mainstream media has swallowed a lot of "stupid" pills peddling an "official conspiracy theory" with gaping holes of credibility. Rating: - a must read!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!this is by far the most interesting book i've ever opened. get ready to be sick to your stomach. its very disturbing but so true. thank you David Ray Griffin. The U.S. isn't the "good guy" of the world as the media wants us to believe. can you say operation Northwoods? the real terrorists live in D.C. spread the truth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rating: - Excellent BookI won't repeat all the well deserved praises of this book that other reviewer presented earlier. I would like to add a comment. 9/11 is a crime seen. If you want to know the criminal, you can examine the fact leading to the events and go through the evidence, or you can simply see who has benighted the most, and you probably have your prime suspect. 7-8 years after this tragic event and the sole benefactor from September 11 is the US government. The amount of power this president and this government had, is unparalleled in US history. The wire tapping, the Patriotic act, the unquestionable authority that this administration had, is some of these fruits and benefits of September 11. The US invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq, the military basis in Kuwait, Qatar and other gulf states are some other of benefits. The financial gains and spoils of this event are mind boggling. The insider trading, the 2 trillion dollars which are missing from the war efforts. The contracts awarded to people and governments officials such as Halliburton are huge. The miss-appropriation of money is well documented. The Iraqi oil is probably being stolen by people in this administration. Not to mention the arm sales and the kick backs from the military industry. The new security deal with Iraq is being negotiated, it will give the American unrestricted access and power. This is one more evidence that is pointing towards the entity that benefited and committed the September 11 attacks. If you add what happened over the last 8 years since September 11 to the cover ups of the September 11, the incompetence in preventing the attacks, you'll have to demand a new investigation. It if very clear that the US government had the means, the motivation and and the ability to commit such crime. It is no wonder that NO US government employee or official were penalized for the total collapse of every possible defence line against the September 11 attacks. Rating:  - The 8/11 Commission Report: Omissions and Distortions I bought several copies of Griffin's The New Pearl Harbor earlier. I think this 9/11 book, which I bought used through an Amazon seller, would have been great. But while reading it, I found that chapter 2 only had 1 page, there was no Chapter 3, 4 or 5 and Chapters 6, 7 and 8 were printed twice. I am contacting the seller for a refund/replacement, and will try again. I expect it to be as great as New Pearl Harbor. Rating: - The Flat Earth Society has true believers too...Having read many books on the 9/11, including the Commission Report and this one, I find this one particularly lacking in a few basic logical premises and also in many basic scientific principles. First- regard the whole "Free Fall" thing. If you watch the tape of the towers falling, you can see large chunks of debri falling faster as pieces break off of the towers during fall. The accusation that the tower was free falling and thus as purposefully demolished fails by ease of visual inspection. For those citizens without basic science knowledge, an object will fall at the same rate regardless of its weight. The fact that the towers are falling at a slower rate than a piece that has broken off implies that it is not free falling. Dr. Griffin's conclusions regarding this single phenomena can thus be rightly questioned. I must also take this and weigh it against Dr. Griffin's credibility. If he can make such conclusions without really trying to verify them, then perhaps he is of the sort that believes that the "theory" of evolution has yet to be proven, or perhaps he is a member of the Flat Earth Society (unfortunately there are educated folks there too...). While I could easily make a point-by-point refutation of many conclusions Dr. Griffin makes in this book, I realize that for most conspiracy die-hards, no amount of evidence is enough so I will save myself the time. If you are a critical thinker, then realize this book for what it is: conjecture and conspiracy with no basis in science or logic, masquerading as an impartial "tell all". While the 9/11 Commission Report itself purposefully goes out of its way to avoid pointing the finger (it was written by politicians after all), this book is an extreme and not the answer to what really happened. I recommend Richard Clarke's "Against all Enemies". Mr. Clarke served the presidents Reagan, Bush Sr., Clinton and Bush Jr. He was the Terrorism "Czar" on 9/11 (despite having a zero budget) and while he is only one perspective and not necessarily impartial, he is certainly more factual than a PhD who knows nothing of basic physics or logical rhetoric. Think on this: "[The 9/11] Conpiracy theorists simultaneously hold two contrary beliefs: a) that the U.S. government is so incompetent that it can miss explanations that the theorists can uncover, and b) that the U.S. government can keep a big and juicy secret. This first belief has some validity. The second idea is pure fantasy. (Clarke 2004)" -jpl |
