New Pearl Harbor: Disturbing Questions About the Bush Administration and 9/11 - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

"I studied American history, so I knew that the US government had fabricated 'incidents' as an excuse to go to war several times before. Nevertheless, although the thought did cross my mind that 9/11 might likewise have been arranged, I did not take this possibility seriously." So writes David Ray Griffin, an eminent philosopher and theologian, in his introduction to "The New Pearl Harbor". From this sceptical vantage point Griffin brings together an account of a terrible tragedy that is far more logical than the one we've been asked to believe. Gathering stories from the American press, from the work of other researchers and the contradictory words of members of the Bush administration themselves, Griffin presents a case that leaves very little doubt that the attacks of 9/11 need to be further investigated. He begins with these questions: Once radio contact was lost with the various hijacked aircraft, why weren't jets immediately scrambled from the nearest military airport, something that is routine procedure, according to the FAA's own manual? And 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 doubt the official story, and suspect its architects of enormous deception. Long a teacher of ethics and theology, Griffin writes with compelling and passionate logic, urging readers to draw their own conclusions from the evidence outlined. "The New Pearl Harbor" rings with the conviction that it is possible, even today, to search for the truth; it is a stirring call demanding a real investigation into what happened on 9/11.
