Reply #95: I highly recommend David Ray Griffin's book

Most importantly it points out that the Incompetence Theory, the thought that 9-11 resulted from the coincident failure of the FAA, NORAD, the CIA, the FBI, the Whitehouse, et alia, to provide for our security that brilliantly blue September morning (despite the trillions borrowed from future generations), is itself the more complex and less probable theory. Apply Occam's Razor and this is not what a reasonable observer will conclude.

Second, it points out that the Offical Story is itself a "conspiracy theory" -- it posits that a terrorist organization, Al Qaeda, conspired by itself to overcome the multi-trillion dollar security apparatus of the United States and wreak havoc and destruction that coincidentally serves as the "new Pearl Harbor" wished for by the neo-conservatives under Bush.

Griffin makes the case that 9-11 begs for a thorough, well-funded, independent investigation to uncover what really happened that day, and makes clear that the current investigation is crimped by budget and conflicted interests, starts and stops with the presupposition that 9-11 was an "intelligence failure" and no more -- i.e., it will not uncover anything but support for the Official Story.
