I cannot accept this book, nor can I accept many of the claims of the 9/11 Truther Movement. I have deep sympathy for them, as it is imperative to always raise the questions that they have from such national tragedies as 9/11. Furthermore in many ways I myself identify with what would be considered "their crowd." I believe that the assassination of President Kennedy was a conspiracy likely planned out with some level of cooperation by this nation's intelligence agencies. I also believe that Reagan's election in 1980 was also facilitated by these same agencies. But back to the book at hand. I cannot believe many of Marrs' theories as some are simply absurd, and easily explained: the possible use of an atomic bomb to level the WTC, the discredited insider trading at the stock exchange, and so on. But what really turned me off to this main premise is that one has to accept that George W. Bush and John Ashcroft were capable of being somehow in the loop on it. Dick Cheney I can certainly see, but again Ashcroft's and Bush's foolproof compliance to a set of organized plans would have to be assured. Neither Bush nor Ashcroft mind you would be properly capable of guarding a spare set of keys to a gas station lavatory much less keeping mum regarding a false flag operation. I certainly believe that they exploited 9/11 for their own political ends, which is in itself a hideous crime, but I cannot believe that they created it.
