It is now more than three years since the 9/11 attacks. But the collapsing towers, the smoldering Pentagon, the round bland face of Mohammed Atta still have an intense immediacy. Most people will always remember where they were when the news came through. If some of the details have faded, the mantra “the world has changed” seems as relevant as ever. The attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on 11 September 2001 had an immense impact on global history. A retaliatory strike against the Taliban has mutated into an open-ended campaign to transform the Middle East. An unpopular president with a doubtful mandate has been able to make far-reaching changes to the US constitution and oversee a massive transfer of wealth to the rich. None of this would have been possible without the 9/11 attacks, yet the events of the day and the period directly prior to the attacks are filled with unanswered questions. Rowland Morganis — independent journalist and author — who was a weekly columnist for the Independent on Sunday and the Guardian in the 1990s is now asking these questions. Back-up photos are included.

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm stunned this is hitting the CORPORATE media bookstore shelves!!!, December 23, 2005

I was browsing Border's the other week. Being a 9/11 Truth activist the past six months, I saw "9/11" on the cover of this book naturally stopped and picked it up. I am well aware that David Ray Griffin's two books are available at the mainstream bookstores, but I figured that they were pretty much the only ones in which US Government complicity is entertained. Oh, and Michael Ruppert's "Crossing the Rubicon."

Anyway, I opened this book and was pleasantly surprised to find that is indeed a 9/11 Truth book, dedicated to activists of the 9/11 Truth Movement. The book is rich with color pictures, like Eric Hufschmid's "Painful Questions." Unlike "Painful Questions," however (which isn't available in stores), this is an umbrella book which exposes the neophyte to the entire spectrum of 9/11 issues within the 9/11 Skeptics Movement, the label the authors use for the movement. It explores the absence of F-16s intercepting the hijacked planes, the war game exercises Dick Cheney was conducting on the morning of 9/11 to deliberately confuse/paralyze NORAD, the physics of the Tower collapses/implosions, the Northwoods Documents, and many others.

What's interesting to note is that the "official story" itself has two basic versions, the first of which is essentially obsolete. This version was that such an evil attack as 9/11, such a crime against humanity, was unthinkable, so unthinkable that the government had no idea that terrorists could ever conceive of such an attack! This was the version the American public accepted when it was paralyzed by fear and nationalism. However, the 9/11 Commission Report in 2004 gives us Version Two of the official version. This version holds that the US government screwed up big-time, failed to connect the dots, and needs to really learn from its mistakes. This version tacitly acknowledges that 9/11 could indeed have been prevented.

Then there are two alternative theories: LIHOP and MIHOP. Let-it-happen-on-purpose, and Made-it-happen-on-purpose. There is really not much difference between the two except that in MIHOP, there could be an X-team of clandestine operatives who carry out operations designed to give the A-team exactly what it wants. In this case, an example of an X-team would be the crew who rigs the Towers with explosives. Another example could be the individuals who are remotely piloting any of the planes (original or drone). These X-team operatives insured that the Pentagon was hit in the empty section. MIHOP proponents argue that the risk of pure LIHOP would be too great; for example the hijackers could crash into Rumsfeld's office, or strike a nuclear power plant instead, which would have rendered much of the country uninhabitable.

Flight 93 mysteries are also explored, from the Cleveland Airport mystery (Did flight 93 make an emergency landing?) to the possibility of a USAF shoot-down. I think that whatever object was flying over PA was shot down, whether it was the original plane or a substituted one. The supposed bin Laden confession videos are also discussed.

An amazing book. The fact that this, in addition to Griffin, is hitting the corporate bookshelves, is not only a testament to the First Amendment itself, but a glimmer of hope that people are finally waking up! Part of it has been the luxury of time. On 9/12/01, we had yet to see how the US would respond. Now we know BushCo lied about the WMDs, Saddam's non-existent ties to al Qaeda, and the non-relationship between Iraq and 9/11. We are at a period in American history now where many citizens, in the privacy of their hearts, are asking themselves if these same people are just as blatantly lying about 9/11 itself.

The Pentagon planned fake terror in the 1960s. According to the Daily Mail (UK), August 6 2005, "The plot by America's military bosses was devilish in both design and intent - to fabricate an outrage against innocent civilians, fool the world and provide a pretext for war...This `agent provocateur' plan - code named OPERATION NORTHWOODS and revealed in official archives - dates from 1962 when the Cold War was at its height." The CIA's Operation Gladio involved bombs in Italy in the 1970s. 9 11 appears to be similar to previous Pentagon plots. According to the Times (UK,)4 September 2005,'The authors of Revealed, both radical journalists, have subjected the official version of what happened to intense scrutiny and found huge gaps.' For example, experts say it is all but impossible to make a mobile phone call above 8,000 feet - let alone four times that altitude, as the jet passengers are alleged to have done. So how were these calls on which so much of the 9/11 narrative has been built ever made? The plane that hit the Pentagon was seen to swerve at the last minute and hit an area of the building that was largely unoccupied - and which had just been fitted with reinforced external walls and blast-resistant windows. A crash into the other side would have killed and maimed many thousands instead of just 125. Bin Laden was in an American hospital just prior to 9 11 (according to Le Figaro and French radio). The bin Laden family have close financial ties to a lot of top Americans. Five of the alleged hijackers had the same names as people trained at US military bases (Newsweek). Read this book and you will be an expert on all aspects of 9 11. There are lots of photos and the text is easy to read.

First a comment to the reviewer Hoax Buster on the subject of the five Pentagon frames. Hoax Buster writes that the five frames are a poison pill. For who? The only entity the five frames are a poion pill for is the Pentagon, because the Pentagon is on record recognizing the frames as legitimate. If they aren't, the Pentagon has some 'splaining to do! As far as reviewers Hoax Buster and 911 Researcher are concerned on the subject of the pod attached to flight 177, the proof that a pod exists is that the pod casts a shadow on the bottom of the fusalage. Because the bottoms of civilian airliners have no appendages or bulges hanging down (except when the landing gear deploys), no shadow should be present. Note the shadows the engines cast AND a third shadow located near dead center of the bottom of the plane?
While Morgan and Henshall certainly do throw into the mix rediculous explanations for some of the odd things that happened on 9/11 (such as "explosives pre-placed in the towers" as standard operating procedure for the construction of sky scrappers), the authors then demolish (no pun intended) those explanations as they did with the "explosives pre-placed in the towers" theory. As I see it, I prefer a book that gives all the theories (absurd/official account or Nine-Eleven Truth Movement accounts) for the many discrepencies that occurred on 9/11, and then puts each theory under rigorus examination, which the authors do.

Morgan and Henshall manage to bring some new information into focus in 9/11 Revealed. If you've bought The New Pearl Harbor by David Ray Griffin or 9/11 Snythetic Terror by Webster Tarpley and think there's nothing new to learn about 9/11, you're wrong. 9/11 Revealed has some interesing novel tid-bits. One item I didn't know about, and is discussed in the book, is the fact that none of the pilots or co-pilots made verbal radio announcements that their respective plane was being hijacked?
