IMPORTANT NEW BOOK ON 9/11 -- "The New Pearl Harbor: Disturbing Questions About the Bush Administration and 9/11"
by David Ray Griffin

amazon.com

BLURB:

Michael Meacher, MP
"An excellent expose of so many of the deeply troubling questions that must still be answered fully and transparently..."

from the Foreword by Richard Falk, human rights lawyer and professor emeritus, Princeton University
"[A]n extraordinary book... It is rare, indeed, that a book has this potential to become a force of history."

Book Description
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.

With disturbing books like this available, one really has to question the role of TV in destroying our democracy. Why, for instance, am I watching CNBC's Capital Report and getting a full segment of pornography, while real news is being neglected? This is beyond disappointing. It is complicity in a cover-up.
