"On Their Knees The War Pigs Crawling"

Griffin's latest book is a point by point dissertation of the astonishingly fraudulent Kean/Zelikow report, the fabrications and omissions of which are both voluminous and shocking...and I mean, it is SHOCKING.

Any of you gentle readers happen to recall that Kevin Spacey line from the movie, "The Usual Suspects", where he says, "the greatest trick the devil ever played was convincing us that he didn't exist"? I've been very troubled by that idea for the past four years, given a great deal of thought to it.

Where is the collective conscience? War is Peace? Endless death and misery in the name of God and liberty? Besieged by numbered days, mired in terminal levels of karmic imbalance. What we need is solidarity, clarity of heart, mind and spirit, and Griffin's book is a step, albeit a painful one, towards a tomorrow that is ours to either strive to make better, or foolishly squander.

Explosive, damning

Like many, I was absolutely slack-jawed while reading Griffin's Book "The New Pearl Harbor". The claims of conspiracy in the 9-11 attacks were unbelievably controversial yet appeared to be very solidly reasoned and researched, and backed up by numberous sources. But then the Commission Report came out and, after reading it, that volume seemed so mammoth and exhaustive that Griffin's book seemed light and sketchy by comparison. While I was still troubled by many suspicious aspects of the attacks, I was much more satisfied with the official explanation that the whole thing was the result of a simultaneous, catastrophic failure of virtually every civilian and military system that was supposed to protect the U.S. from terrorist attacks.

But now Griffin has returned to pull back the curtain to reveal how this supposedly impartial and unbiased commission really conducted their business. The author lays bare their phony cloak of nonpartisanship, their selective examination of only the evidence that supports their foregone conclusions, and their failure to hold anyone in power accountable for what happened. Griffin writes chapter after chapter that patiently and methodically picks apart the methods and conclusions of the comission; what they missed, what they ignored, what they distorted. By the end of the book the 9-11 Commission Report seems like nothing but a shoddy cover-up.

I'd be willing to consider the possibilty that Griffin has got it all wrong but the extent to which you would have to twist and torture the facts and the evidence to explain your way out of the author's incisive conclusions leaves me very persuaded. David Ray Griffin has been called a conspiracy nut (and worse) but I have yet to see any detailed and/or compelling rebuttal to his extensive research. And until I do, I remain convinced of a large scale cover-up and I will never again trust my government to truthfully account for a national tragedy. I invite you to read this book and convince me otherwise.

A Most Important Read

With the same calm, clear and extensively documented approach of his earlier The New Pearl Harbor, David Ray Griffin issues a devastating refutation of the official 9/11 Commission Report. He calls this book the 9/11 Commission Report -- Omissions and Distortions and his care and scholarship validate its title. For all who are interested in the truth about that horrendous September day, this book is a most important read. Fr. Ed Escwhweiler

Questions that need answers...

Great tragedies as with great fortune are associated with a series of coincidences; some real, some manufactured. I believe that our government and all of it's associated agencies failed us miserably on 9/11.

There are great pieces of evidence in this book that point to MUCH more going on than has been widely reported. While snopes.com does some credit to debunking the idea of a plane NOT hitting the Pentagon, it does not address the issue that the alleged highjacker (who was reported to the FAA 5 times for his ineptitude) would be capable of this extremely difficult manuver.

Also, no government official has been fired or held responsible for the SNAFU of 9/11. In fact, many of the folks associated with it were promoted. Why is this?

There are many more heavy bricks of questions thrown by Griffin at the government. I look forward to reading his other book that debunks the 9/11 Commission report. I appreciate Griffin's dispassionate discussion of facts from credible sources. His thoroughness can at times be ponderous but it is necessary given the sticky thicket of seperating the offical report from conflicting facts & evidence. This is indeed investigative journalism at it's best.

This is a riveting and challenging book to read on many levels. I do not agree with all of the author's theories and evidences regarding the tragedy of that day, but I am glad to have read this book.
