53. This is just so much more B. S. cover
The focus on * is ignorant from the get-go. To the effect of needing to have a clown for a punching bag does not satisfy any of my questions.

To date has anybody lost their job, been penalized or fined for anything that has happened. There is so much about security that is the same from prior to 9/11 and why? 9/11 seems to be missing a lot of detail of things that would be expected if it was a large group of mistakes or Co-Winky-Dinks. I am sending for my copy of the......

Letting bad things happen in order to achieve great goals, April 2, 2004
Reviewer: James S. Ackerman from Bloomington,, IN United States
Until reading this book I have despised any conspiracy theory that involved persons in any American administration doing harm to their fellow Americans. But Dr. Griffin, a noted professor at the prestigious Claremont School of Theology, has written a dispassionate study of the many inconsistencies that are involved in the official version of what happened on 9/11, our surveillance of Middle Eastern terrorist networks before that time, and our pursuit of the true perpetrators since then. For example, when Flight 11's transponder went off at 8:20 a.m. and flight attendants reported at 8:21 a.m. that it had been hijacked when it turned 90 degrees to the south, F-16's are routinely supposed to scramble and head it off within ten minutes--long before it reached the North Tower. There is an average of 100 scramblings per year. We went zero for three on 9/11. How could we not protect against a plane going directly towards the Pentagon or the White House? One starts this book, wanting with all one's heart to believe that it was incompetence or surprise that day, but there are just too many other really strange things (about twenty more) noted by Griffin that warrant an even more complete investigation than what is going on now (April 2). Why? Because a lot of these elements, briefly captured by one media source or another, were swept away in our focus on the war and not brought back into the national consciousness. I must agree with the professor who wrote that "it is rare, indeed, that a book has this potential to become a force of history." This slim book is a MUST READ!
