Book Description
With US political leaders - Democrat and Republican alike - embracing the recommendations of the 9/11 Commission, and an eager media receiving the Commission's 567 page report as the whole story, everyone who cares about the fate of American democracy will want to know something about what those pages actually say.
The Commission's account, has made an impression with its size, its endnotes, its detail, its narrative finesse. Yet under the magnifying glass of eminent theologian David Ray Griffin, author of The New Pearl Harbor (a book that explores questions that reporters, eyewitnesses, and political observers have raised about the 9/11 attacks), the report appears much shabbier. In fact, there are holes in the places where detail ought to be abundant: Is it possible that Secretary of Defence Donald Rumsfeld has given three different stories of what he was doing the morning of September 11, and that the Commission combines two of them and ignores eyewitness reports to the contrary? Is it possible that the man in charge of the military that day, Acting Head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Richard Myers, saw the first tower hit on TV, and then went into a meeting, where he remained unaware of what was happening for the next 40 minutes? Is it possible, as the Commission reports, that the FA!
A did not inform the military that the fourth aeroplane appeared to have been hijacked, contrary to both common sense and the word of FAA employees?
David Ray Griffin's critique of the Commission's report makes clear that America's highest leaders have told tales that wear extremely thin when held up to the light of other eyewitness reports, research, and the dictates of common sense, and that the Commission charged with the task of investigating all of the facts surrounding 9/11 has succeeded in obscuring, rather than unearthing, the truth.
