there are deductive and cumulative reasoning and i would enjoy hearing what others think after spending some time researching ...
as of the latest polls its about an even split with people believing there was or wasnt gov. complicity...

Griffin does it again, March 30, 2007
By Alexander E. Paulsen "AlexP" (Jacksonville, Fl United States)
I was fortunate enough to be able to get an advance copy about a week ago from a professional reviewer. hey, if this is the first review here I will have scooped the New York Times hahaha.
After reading DRG's other books on 9/11 I had high expectations. With his book I was not disappointed.
As Barrie Zweicker observes, Griffin is clearly a prophet for our time. All his books are well constructed, cogent and very well researched and referenced.
In his latest work Griffin dissects the so-called 9/11 debunkers. Those who claim that the Kean Commission was the "fullest possible accounting into the events of September 11th" basically have their hindquarters handed to them - gift-wrapped.
I have read the Popular Mechanics book and found that in my opinion it debunks itself, It is loaded with false assertions and contradictions. It creates it's own straw man arguments and from it's forward admits that it accepts the official story even before it looks at any evidence. All road lead to the Kean Commission report and the very basis of the PM book is that the Kean Commission answered all the questions and all that remained is to match the facts with the official story any way they could. This is admitted right form the first page.
The PM book reads more like a parody than a serious analysis. A parody DRG seemed to have fun blowing to pieces.
It is obvious to the casual observer that many if the most vocal supporters of the Kean Commission and the PM book have not actually read either. DRG points out many issues that I (and probably most folk) missed even after several careful readings of both.
Well, DRG had read them and exposes each and every contradiction, impossibility and all the lies. Further, they're exposed so thoroughly and completely that there are no counter arguments left. Griffin misses nothing; there are no weaknesses or chinks in the case. This is the work of a true scholar.
This is a powerful book and one that is very dangerous to the adherents of the official story of 9/11. I predict that this book will gather several single-star reviews by folks who have not even seen it much less read it, that is to be expected I suppose. It is also typical of those who worship the official story; none wish to be confronted with the facts. Facts for which they have no counter argument.
This book despite being information dense and meticulously referenced is a true scholarly work, yet easy to read. Gripping in fact, and liberally sprinkled with DRG's wry wit.
Reading a well-researched book like this written by a genuine scholar is a real treat and a contrast to the usual nonsense that tends to get published today. When you read a book written at this level it is an eye-opening experience. After this go read one of the sophomoric "debunkers" that this book addresses for a good laugh.
It is not essential to read any of Griffin's other works on this subject, but I highly recommend that every interested or curious party read "A New Pearl Harbor" and "Omissions and Distortions" This work does stand on it's own but mainly deals with destroying the self-proclaimed debunkers attempts to prop up the official story.
Griffin misses little and even if you have read the "debunkers" and laughed as I have, Griffin, as the scholar makes points and observations that many have missed even after careful study. That is what real scholars do, That is the difference between a scholar and an amateur shill like James Meigs of Popular Mechanics.
If this book is responded to at all by the corporate media outlets do not expect it to be challenged on the material within. Expect shrill ad-hominem attacks, expect them to call DRG or traitor or that he insults the victims or the troops. Expect everything BUT facts.
I actually don't expect any major media outlets to review this book, even in an attempt to debunk it, it will be way to dangerous. I expect this book to greeted mostly with silence. I also notice that the Hannity's and O'Reilly's will never invite Griffin on their shows. They know DRG is way out of their league and has the truth and facts on his side. He would destroy them and they know it. Plus, he would destroy them with a smile while the other side sputters and spits.
Any honest person interesting in the future of our republic must read this book. If you are honest and believe the official story then read it, if you think that it cannot possible be true then refute it but refute it on the facts presented if you can.
anyhow, i realize this is a hot topic and people have strong feelings on each side and i will be attacked for my moral character and more, but im sorry i believe in the cumulative.
take care
