Good idea Dr. Welser, let’s talk facts. What facts do you have to to support your theory the govt was behind the 9/11 attacks?

It is always easy to use ad hominem arguments. Indeed, that type of argument is but one of the well-recognized tactics of disinfo. Folks who use these tactics are never willing and rarely able to discuss the data.

9/11 and American Empire: Intellectuals Speak Out, edited by David Ray Griffin and Peter Dale Scott as noted above is a seminal work and relies upon empirical data and logical analysis. Until Noel is willing to argue the facts rather than resorting to diatribe, I recommend he stays somewhere by himself where he can enjoy his "gas".

The best evidence in book form I think is Webster Tarpleys “9/11 Synthetic Terror, made in USA”. The best dvd I have seen to date is “911 Mysteries, Part 1 Demolitions”, which can be seen online at http://www.911mysteries.com
No need for any name calling here people, just take material from all angles, look at it and decide for yourself. I feel that wtc7 was the hub of the entire operation. That’s why it had to be destroyed in the manner it was (controlled implosion at 5:30pm Sept 11 2001)

Who indeed. Not sure whats gripping your short hairs. Could it be, Paul, that a dose of reality is a little to much for your paranoid, dope smoking mind to handle? Or does it bother you that I take advantage of this democatic country to comment politicaly or otherwise on subjects that are so endearing to you. Damn!, when will I learn to swallow all the garbage written on web sites like this. By the way, you must be pretty shook up about my spelling of imagination as you must spend a good deal of time using yours to distort real facts. Your review is done well , it’s the subject matter that gives me gas. My analogy would be that “The Da’Vinci Code” is a true story, entertaining, thought provoking, perhaps even plausable, but Gospel…c’m on…

Who’s smoking the weed Noel? Keep your head firmly planted in the ground, and don’t pay any attention to the facts, that will surely serve you well in your narrow minded approach to Democracy and how it works…by the way, IMMAGINATION is spelled with one M, amazing how you miss even the smallest FACTS.

Quite the immagination! May I suggest easing up on the weed a little? What else can I say. You guys just make it too easy.

Your review contradicts itself. It starts out talking about false-flag operations, then finishes by saying that we should all agree to disagree on this, because we can all agree that the opportunistic way in which 9/11 has been used is all that is important. Of course progressives agree on this.

I recommend 9/11 and American Empire: Intellectuals Speak Out, edited by David Ray Griffin and Peter Dale Scott. The article by Richard Falk, professor emeritus of international law at Princeton University, is one of the best of many excellent contributions to this book.

Thank you for the review.

I would recommend Mike Ruppert's Crossing the Rubicon: The American Empire at the End of the Age of Oil, New Society Press 2004.

Ruppert shows convincingly that Dick Cheney ran Operation 9-11 using the Secret Service from beneath the White House. He establishes motive (peak oil), means (the Secret Service command and control overrides NORAD, the FAA, FEMA, etc.) and opportunity (14 different military exercises on the east coast that morning, including simulated hijackings) to make a case that could be proven in a court room. Unfortunately, Elliot Spitzer, the Attorney General of New York, is also an insider (as is Rudy Giuliani) and will not prosecute, despite sufficient evidence to do so. Spitzer wants to be the next Governor, and he will be if he remains silent.
