By virtue of his previous four books on the subject, David Ray Griffin is widely recognized as one of the leading spokespersons of the 9/11 truth movement, which rejects the official conspiracy theory about 9/11. Although this movement was long ignored by the US government and the mainstream media, recent polls have shown that (as Time magazine has acknowledged) the rejection of the official theory has become “a mainstream political phenomenon.”
Therefore, It is unsurprising that the government and the corporately controlled media have shifted tactics. No longer ignoring the 9/11 truth movement, they have released a flurry of stories and reports aimed at debunking it. In the present book, David Ray Griffin shows that these attempts can themselves be easily debunked.
In addition to exposing the shortcomings of the book "Debunking 9/11 Myths" (which was published by Popular Mechanics and supported by Senator John McCain), Griffin challenges the validity of recent reports and articles from various sources such as the US Department of State, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, the New York Times, Vanity Fair, and Time magazine. He also addresses critiques from left-leaning and Christian publications, which may have been expected to be sympathetic to his cause.
Throughout these critiques, Griffin shows that the charge that is regularly leveled against critics of the official theory—that they employ irrational and unscientific methods to defend conclusions based on faith—actually applies more fully to those who defend the official theory. By debunking the most prevalent attempts to refute the evidence cited by the 9/11 truth movement, this book shows that this movement’s central claim—that 9/11 was an inside job—remains the only explanation that fits the facts.
