No comment! Just go for this read and see how the world is being ruled! One more thing, It reminds me of a sentence by Oriana Falachi in " An interview with history" where she says: Politicians are not smart at all, on the contrary to the commonly held assumption!

ONE OF THE EARLIEST 9/11 "TRUTHERS" LOOKS IN DETAIL AT THE PENTAGON ATTACK
Thierry Meyssan (born 1957) is a French journalist and political activist, who has investigated the extreme right-wing, as well as the Catholic Church (e.g., Opus Dei). He has also written the earlier book '9/11 - The Big Lie.'
He wrote in the Introduction to this 2002 book, "'The Big Lie' contented itself with pointing out the physical impossibility of the crash of a Boeing 757 of the Pentagon without explaining the exact nature of the attack. It drew no political interpretation from the facts... we continued our investigations. The elements that we present today are... a complimentary study of the attack on the Pentagon and the manner in which we have been misled by the communications services of the Department of Defense."
He cautions concerning the testimony of witnesses, "a witness will tend to align him or herself with the implicated social group of which he or she feels representative... Consciously or not, voluntarily or not, witnesses always have a propensity to construct a version of events that corresponds with their social role." (Pg. 42-43)
He concludes, "This photo, and the effects described in the official version, lead me therefore to think that the detonation that struck the building was that of a high-powered hollow charge used to destroy hardened buildings and carried by an aerial vehicle, a missile." (Pg. 85-86)
Later, he adds, "Can one affirm that it was in fact American Airlines flight 77 that hit the Pentagon? Only if one has blind faith in the army of the United States of America." (Pg. 104) He asserts about the military, "To each question raised, they... have to answer with: technical failure, coordination problems, temporary incapacity, transfer of responsibility, absence of commanders, etc. In the end, the greatest army in the world is obliged to confess that it's also the most incompetent." (Pg. 122)
Meyssan's book (which contains an excellent selection of photos), whether one agrees or not, is perhaps the most in-depth treatment of the attack on the Pentagon, and is thus crucial for anyone interested in 9/11.

Worse than the first one, more detailed conspiracy theory, more difficult to debunk. Debunked none the less.

This is a good book for anyone with questions regarding 9/11. This book is full of facts and great points.

Plane crash? Or missile
attack? Meyssan's like, "Hunt the
Boeing if you can!"
