AN EXPANSION/UPDATING OF THE AUTHOR'S EARLIER BOOK
This 2007 book is an updated/expanded version of the author's 2005 book of the same title. He wrote in the Introduction, "This book does not try to offer a detailed account of what exactly happened, though an ominous outline takes shape. Its intention is to assess evidence that has become public and evaluate the feasibility of various scenarios. This is an investigation, not an indictment... It is for a well-resourced legal enquiry to take the matter further and decide whether individuals participated in the 9/11 attacks through willful negligence, obstructing investigations after the event or worse."
He notes that Bush pushed ahead in the 2004 election based on a November video from "'Osama bin Laden,' helpfully released three days before election. Bin Laden... has somewhat different nose and looks hardly older than three years earlier. CIA analysts decide video is aimed to secure Bush election victory." (Pg. 15)
He points out that "At first, the White House said the attacks had been unthinkable, that no specific warnings had been received, that no one expected an attack in the US. By the time of the 9/11 Commission, this line had been quietly abandoned. It was explained that the operative work in the denial was 'specific.'" (Pg. 71)
Supporting the "planned demolition" notion, he argues that "It would not be difficult to create a computer program to coordinate the collapse sequence with the location of the plane impacts programmed in after the crashes. The collapse could be made to start there, bringing down the section above first and leaving the lower part intact for a few seconds..." (Pg. 166-167)
After admitting that all but one of the Flight 77 passengers has now been identified by DNA, he says that if they were "not in the plane that hit the Pentagon, an X-Team would have to sneak their remains into the transport chain as it carried those of the many more people who were killed inside the building." (Pg. 192)
Not the most "original" approach to the material, this book DOES contain some excellent photos and graphics, which I have not seen in other books.

Whatever side you sit on with the whole conspiracies about this awful, life changing event, this book is well-researched and gives us some compelling and intriguing arguements that are an alternative narrative to what "the man" wants you to think of as gospel about what happened.
We certainly haven't been told the whole story, there are fallacies and dubious goings on, and this book highlights them quite brilliantly.
I certainly have an interest in this subject, as I worked at a hotel that hosted an American Airlines crew on the day and had to console a member of the female cabin crew who was worried/in hysterics about her pilot husband.
She was taken from me at some point (for a brandy snifter) and I had to go back to work, so I never found out what happened there. Because the show goes on, right?
That alone makes me want to know what happened. But like most things in history that are secreted to some extent, maybe we will never know.

This is an absolutley compelling read. It addresses real inconsistencies in microscopic detail in entire tragedy of 9.11. It is not in the rabid vein of Michael Moore nor does it wantonly pander to the whims of conspiracy theorists, yet asks significant questions about key issues with often disturbing conclusions. I don't usually reccomend books, but would gladly make an exception in this case. It is not enough just to review this book...it has to be read.
