Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
The 9/11 commission report "simply cannot be trusted," concludes this retired Claremont School of Theology professor. Following up on his call for an official investigation in The New Pearl Harbor (2004), Griffin revisits the cataclysmic events and deconstructs the government's probe. He offers two mind-numbing versions of an "alternative conspiracy theory": that the Bush administration "deliberately" failed to prevent the attacks or, more chillingly, "was actively involved in the planning and execution of the attacks." Why? To spur the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan and the occupation of their valuable oil and natural gas resources. Embracing the complicity theory, Griffin claims the 9/11 Commission's report, labeled the Kean-Zelikow Report here to underline the White House allegiances of its Republican chairman and director, was neither thorough nor non-partisan but rather a "cover-up" designed to back up the Bush administration's view of the day's events. Among the problems Griffin says the commissioners fail to address are discrepancies in the hijackers' identities; the behavior exhibited by President Bush and his Secret Service contingent in Florida; and the charges of obstruction by higher-ups made by FBI agent Coleen Rowley and other mid-level officials. In fact, "revisionism" was the Commission's major goal, argues the author, since the report reconstructs the timelines of the hijackings, officials' teleconferences and the plane crashes to absolve the military of mishandling jet fighters' intercepts of the doomed passenger aircraft. Supported by news media reports, government documents and readily available secondary sources, Griffin's research raises valid questions about the Commission's political aims and investigative methods. But unless future Woodwards and Bernsteins dig up evidence to the contrary, the author's theories about a government role in the 9/11 plot will remain pure speculation.

A Topic of Great Urgency,
By Helen Goggin (Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The 911 Commission Report Omissions And Distortions (Paperback)
David Ray Griffin is a retired professor of theology and philosophy at the School of Theology in Claremont, California. He is a respected scholar and researcher in the academic world. However this book and his earlier one, The New Pearl Harbor, are essential reading for both Americans and Canadians. David raises many questions about the official account of 9/11 in his first book and now in this second one he goes through the findings of the 9/11 Commission which he believes both ignored and distorted the mounting evidence that the official story cannot be the correct one. Things like Bush not leaving school after the first plane hit, the failure to scramble the fighter jets to intercept the planes on time, the demolition type free fall of the three World Trade Center buildings, the put options on the airlines involved three days before the attack, the fact that the bin Laden family members were flown out of the US when no other planes were allowed in the sky, the immediate clearing of the debris of the towers before any investigation could be conducted, - it goes on and on. Griffin spoke to an assembly at the University of Wisconsin recently and the address was shown on C-SPAN. For him there is little doubt now that the Bush Administration was involved - why - probably the oil in Iraq. The responses to the address were shock and surprise but the evidence presented was overwhelming. It is urgent for the people of both United States and Canada to at least become aware of the evidence presented in these two books. People need to make up their own minds but the unanswered questions are deeply troubling.

The Truth Is Painful, But Necessary.,
By Concerned Citizen (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The 911 Commission Report Omissions And Distortions (Paperback)
If you read this book, you will see clearly before you, that 9/11 is a cover-up of the highest magnitude. One should only be interested evidence from which to draw conclusions, however, the 9/11 Commission was not interested in this idea. Their mandate was to shield the leaders from incrimination. This has been largely successful to date, but it is quickly unravelling as more and more people educate themselves on the issues. A must read.

Latest Updates,
By Tim (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The 911 Commission Report Omissions And Distortions (Paperback)
Great book by a true patriot. For updates go to Dr. Griffin's site www.st911.org where he and others are posting great works exposing the murder of thousands by the clique running the USA. This is not a "stupid conspiracy theory" site, this has papers by professor Jones and Wood explaining how the official story just can't be. Sign the petition!
