highly recommended

Taking to heart the classic idea that those who benefit from a crime ought to be investigated, here the eminent theologian David Ray Griffin sifts through the evidence about the attacks of 9/11--stories from the mainstream press, reports from abroad, the work of other researchers, and the contradictory words of members of the Bush administration themselves--and finds that, taken together, they cast serious doubt on the official story of that tragic day. He begins with simple questions: Once radio contact was lost with the flights, why weren't jets immediately sent up ("scrambled") from the nearest military airport, something that according to the FAA's own manual is routine procedure? Why did the administration's story about scrambling jets change in the days following the attacks? The disturbing questions don't stop there: they emerge from every part of the story, from every angle, until it is impossible not to suspect the architects of the official story of enormous deception. A teacher of ethics and theology, Griffin writes with compelling logic, urging readers to draw their own conclusions from the evidence. The New Pearl Harbor is a stirring call for a thorough investigation into what happened on 9/11. It rings with the conviction that it is still possible to search for the truth in American political life.

September 11, 2001 Day of Deceit

The collapse of the twin towers didn't look right to me, but so much was happening that I had to let it go. There was the antrax attacks that was "military grade" thought to come from Ft. Dietrick. There was a killer in my neighborhood called the DC sniper. Oh yeah, lets not forget the invasions of Afganistan and Iraq. Everything happened so fast it made me forget about the stolen 2000 presidential elections. Then one day I heard David Ray Griffin discussing his book on CSPAN and it was like waking and finding I was living in a nightmare.
Most people are aware that the attack on Pearl Harbor was a LIHOP(Let it happen on purpose) operation as documented in Robert Stinnson's "Day of Deceit" and John Toland's "Infamy". Apparently this action or inaction was taken so that the isolationist American public would be suffiently enraged and easily led into war.
In 2000, a neo-con think tank called the Project for a New American Century wrote a white paper that called for invasions of Central Asia but felt that a catalyzing event would be needed to gain public support, "A New Pearl Harbor."
David Ray Griffin recounts the terrible events and systematically deconstructs the official story by simply asking valid questions.
The questions are haunting and the testimony of survivors and first responders is most damning.
Have courage and read this book.

An eye-opener for the American misinformed

I was like the majority of American citizens before reading this book, not only unaware of alternative theories surrounding the happenings of 9/11, but also found myself indignant towards the far-fetched ideas when they were suggested to me. After reading this book, I now not only believe that the U.S. government was complicit to some degree in the dreadful events of that day, I have NO DOUBT whatsoever, none. David Griffin does an excellent job presenting the abundance of evidence in a logical, pragmatic fashion. For those of you who are inclined to lump this type of literature, in terms of credibility, with that relating to bigfoot or UFOs, please read the book before jumping to such a conclusion. Science and, more disturbingly, simple common sense are the tools that Griffin uses to justify his assertion.

Comprehensive Breakdown of the 9/11 attacks...

Prof. David Ray Griffin presents a persuasive & realistic scenario, which, in short, suggests that (rogue) factions within the U.S. government were complicit in "terrorist attack(s)" on 9/11. And to reflect on the heedlessness of the official account, consider that the Clinton-Lewinsky investigation initially received more funding than the 9/11 (commission) investigation. That's right, the greatest structural malfunction in the world's history receives less cash than a petty inquiry into the promiscuity of our former President, Bill Clinton. Not only was the funding inadequate, but the evidence - steal beams, rubble, debris - was all removed from the scene and shipped to scrap yards. The evidence was destroyed and less than 1% of the steel actually exists today.

My only problem with this book is that Griffin did not take the time to verify all the facts that he cites in his 168 pg book. He instead takes a large amount of the 'facts' from the books & essays by Nafeez Ahmed, Michel Chossudovsky, & Thierry Meyssan. Regardless of this, if you are interested in learning about the inconsistencies and implausibilities found in the official account, this book is worth your time & money. Griffin thoroughly covers the majority of the issues - the NORAD "stand-down" (fighter jets stayed on the ground for 60 "decisive" minutes), the Standard Operating Procedures, the "implosion" (as used by NIST) of WTC 1, 2, & 7, the Pentagon damage area, Shanksville crash site, cell phone calls at 20+k altitude, etc. However, the information provided on the collapse(s) is less than stellar. I expected to see questions such as - "If the official account is true, then explain how gravity (and pockets of air) cause 4-ton steel girders to be launched 600 ft away from the WTC building?" Griffin focuses on a rather weak, but still valid point; ALL of the concrete turned into dust and formed a pyroclastic flow (which contained asbestos and many other deadly toxins). Overall, Griffin's book serves as a great introduction to the (lesser-known) facts of 9/11. Buying this paperback will not dissatisfy, nor will it disillusion you from "reality"; instead, by the time you reach the heart of the book, you'll be gnashing your teeth in contempt at our nation's obdurate acceptance of the "official account". When you arrive at the book's conclusion, you will undoubtedly discover that the "official account", as supported by NIST, 9/11 Comission Report, U.S. government, the general populace & the US media, stinks to the high heavens!
