Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
The 9/11 commission report "simply cannot be trusted," concludes this retired Claremont School of Theology professor. Following up on his call for an official investigation in The New Pearl Harbor (2004), Griffin revisits the cataclysmic events and deconstructs the government's probe. He offers two mind-numbing versions of an "alternative conspiracy theory": that the Bush administration "deliberately" failed to prevent the attacks or, more chillingly, "was actively involved in the planning and execution of the attacks." Why? To spur the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan and the occupation of their valuable oil and natural gas resources. Embracing the complicity theory, Griffin claims the 9/11 Commission's report, labeled the Kean-Zelikow Report here to underline the White House allegiances of its Republican chairman and director, was neither thorough nor non-partisan but rather a "cover-up" designed to back up the Bush administration's view of the day's events. Among the problems Griffin says the commissioners fail to address are discrepancies in the hijackers' identities; the behavior exhibited by President Bush and his Secret Service contingent in Florida; and the charges of obstruction by higher-ups made by FBI agent Coleen Rowley and other mid-level officials. In fact, "revisionism" was the Commission's major goal, argues the author, since the report reconstructs the timelines of the hijackings, officials' teleconferences and the plane crashes to absolve the military of mishandling jet fighters' intercepts of the doomed passenger aircraft. Supported by news media reports, government documents and readily available secondary sources, Griffin's research raises valid questions about the Commission's political aims and investigative methods. But unless future Woodwards and Bernsteins dig up evidence to the contrary, the author's theories about a government role in the 9/11 plot will remain pure speculation.

"David Ray Griffin establishes himself, alongside Seymour Hersh, as America's number one bearer of unpleasant, yet necessary, public truths." -- Richard Falk<br /><br />"David Ray Griffin's is one of the finest minds at work in the pursuit of truth about 9/11." -- Barrie Zwicker, Canadian media critic and commentator<br /><br />"David is a national treasure.... A must-read for citizens everywhere asking the hard questions about 9/11." -- Meria Heller, radio host<br /><br />"[A] brilliant analysis of the 9-11 issue..." -- Apollonian, Vanguard News Network<br /><br />"[B]oth convincing and chilling." --Rosemary Radford Ruther, HopeDance Magazine
"Through an incisive and carefully documented review, David Ray Griffin skillfully refutes the findings of the 9/11 Commission and questions the official 'bipartisan' account of what happened. He shows how the dramatic events of September 11 were used by the Bush Administration, through media disinformation, to mislead public opinion, with a view to justifying the invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq under the banner of the global 'war on terrorism.'" ---- Michel Chossudovsky, Centre for Research on Globalization/University of Ottawa
>"Once again, a President of the United States reluctantly appointed a commission to investigate a calamitous event in American history and once again, a commission created more questions than it provided answers. David Ray Griffin's latest book amply explains why the 9/11 Commission can now be placed in the same category as the Warren and Tower Commissions as dissemblers and varnishers of the truth." -- Wayne Madsen, syndicated columnist, investigative journalist
>"It is rather obvious that the 9/11 commission aimed more to bring closure than to investigate the anomalies surrounding the event. For the dominant media in the US they have largely succeeded. All the more reason why it is important that its failure even to mention these anomalies not go unnoticed. For those who still seek the truth and hope for a serious investigation of the facts, Griffin's careful analysis of the report is essential reading." --John B. Cobb, Jr., Professor of Theology, Emeritus, Claremont School of Theology

From the Inside Flap
Advance Praise for David Ray Griffin's The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions and Distortions "With this new book, David Ray Griffin establishes himself, alongside Seymour Hersh, as America's number one bearer of unpleasant, yet necessary, public truths." -Richard Falk, Professor of International Law, Emeritus, Princeton University "Through an incisive and carefully documented review, David Ray Griffin skillfully refutes the findings of the 9/11 Commission...." -Michel Chossudovsky, Professor of Economics, University of Ottawa "In this masterful sequel to The New Pearl Harbor, David Ray Griffin unveils a disparity between official 9/11 "spin" and independently researched 9/11 fact so glaring as to suggest the possibility of a constitutional crisis unlike anything our country has ever known....[This book] seriously-and alarmingly-challenges the independence, impartiality, and thoroughness of the 9/11 Commission. For anyone serious about combating terrorism, let alone upholding constitutional democracy, The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions and Distortions, is a must read."-Burns H. Weston, Professor of Law Emeritus, University of Iowa "...David Ray Griffin's latest book amply explains why the 9/11 Commission can now be placed in the same category as the Warren and Tower Commissions as dissemblers and varnishers of the truth." -Wayne Madsen, syndicated columnist, investigative journalist "This careful deconstruction of what many have called "The 9/11 Omission Commission" skewers, with academic rigor, both the official 9/11 story and its associated cover-up. David Ray Griffin's is one of the finest minds at work in the pursuit of truth about 9/11." -Barrie Zwicker, Canadian Media Critic and Commentator David Ray Griffin is Professor of Philosophy of Religion and Theology, Emeritus, at the Claremont School of Theology (California) and the author of twenty-five books, most recently The New Pearl Harbor: Disturbing Questions about the Bush Administration and 9/11 and Two Great Truths: A New Synthesis of Scientific Naturalism and Christian Faith.

This is a 2005 publication that continues to be relevant - especially now with the push by “Lawyers for 9/11 Truth” - which, in December 2018, petitioned for a grand jury investigation to be initiated in the Southern District of New York by the U. S. attorney to seek the truth about the death and destruction wrought on 9/11/2001 (right - don’t hold your breath waiting for that to happen). With the historical version promoted by the media and the military/”state”/government rendered in shambles and tatters by David Ray Griffin, it would seem that anyone who still buys the “official” fairy tale version also believes in the Tooth Fairy, Easter Bunny, and Santa Clause. Griffin reveals that 6 of the 19 “hijackers” were discovered to be alive and well after 9/11 (confirmed by the FBI), that Flight 77 (Pentagon strike) was reported to have crashed somewhere in Kentucky before allegedly hitting the Pentagon, that the strike on the Pentagon caused destruction inconsistent and incongruent with a Boeing 757 strike, that Flight 93 was most probably shot down by a missile fired from an F-16 to silence the passengers who bravely tried to retake control of the flight, that Flight 93 was possibly on its way to strike WTC 7 - which - without a plane strike - mysteriously was demolished in an obvious controlled demolition at 5:20 p.m. that day - more than 7 hours after the demolition of WTCs 1 and 2 with alleged airplane strikes, that the transponders in the United and American Airlines flights were allegedly turned off and, oddly, caused the aircraft to become “invisible” or unrecognized by civilian and military radar, and that our military defense system for D.C. and the Pentagon was apparently so impotent or so incredibly incompetent that a commercial aircraft somehow was able to penetrate that sophisticated defense system and cause massive destruction. The inconsistencies go on and on. Griffin reveals that the 9/11 events are reminiscent of the 1960's Joint Chief of Staff’s proposed military “Operation Northwoods” in which a civilian aircraft was to be blown out of the sky, supposedly by Cuban aircraft, to start a war with Cuba and the Soviet Union. To my understanding, the 9/11 events/mission had many of the earmarks of the Iran Contra-CIA gun-and cash-running operation in the mid-1980s in which the contraband-bearing aircraft were substituted in flight by non-contraband aircraft to cover for the “dirty” aircraft. (read “Compromised” by Terry Reed - published circa 1994). No doubt the 9/11 events were meticulously-devised by highly-intelligent but insane sociopaths, but certainly not by those blamed for it. The scope of the 9/11 events was much too gigantic and controlled beforehand; and the cover-up planned beforehand and perpetrated afterwards by those responsible, including the use of the 9/11 Commission, go infinitely beyond what any group of Islamic terrorists could ever dream of. Follow the money, the military and civilian promotions for those who participated - whether wittingly or unwittingly - and you may begin to find the truth. But the whole truth will never be able to be known. It is a trillion piece puzzle that was far too compartmented by those responsible for anyone to figure out. Nevertheless, such attempts should be commenced. Yet I’m left wondering - Could we ever handle the truth and go forward with our lives? I have serious doubts.

Griffin was internationally known for his powerful analytical mind long before he started writing on 9/11
Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2017Verified Purchase
I first became interested in "truther" discussions of 9/11 when I learned that Griffin was contributing, because I had for some time known Griffin as a powerful philosophical thinker. His Unsnarling the World Knot, which I studied while writing my PhD dissertation, is the single most helpful book on the mind-body problem I've read. Griffin is most definitely someone who deserves to be taken very seriously, and anyone who reads Omissions and Distortions with their mind open to the possibility that he could be right is likely to finish it largely persuaded of his thesis: that omissions and distortions in the official discussion of 9/11 very strongly suggest a cover-up. Of all his 9/11 titles I've read, I'd recommend this and New Pearl Harbor most--the latter first.

This is a great book. It covers a lot of the important pieces about the False Flag or 9/11. The book also provides a few comparisons to how Pearl Harbor; for example, how highest commanders of the Navy, Air Force and Army ducked about from the events until the dust settled. Griffin has also pointed out how 9/11 is an inside job. False Flags are practically so often in the U.S. that it is part of our culture.

The official conspiracy theory holds that 19 hijackers of Muslim Arab origin under direction of a former CIA operative with kidney disease from a cave in Afghanistan in a secret operation defeated the most advanced air-defense system in the world in a surprise attack. The alternative conspiracy theory holds that men in positions of power within the US political structure, military services, and intelligence agencies--who would stand to gain incredibly more power--planned, enabled, and/or controlled the attacks of 9/11. The alternative theory by necessity also holds that the perpetrators of 9/11 covered up their crime largely through the advocacy of an official conspiracy theory.

I found Dr. Griffin's book to be a very enlightening read from start to finish. What's really nice about it is that you get to see many original accounts of specific events which occurred that were either later modified or said to be incorrect. It's really quite shocking just how many accounts of the events which happened on 9/11 were modified by organizations such as the FAA and the Military. Definitely recommend that one read this very important book.

9/11 Commission Report : Omissions & Distortions
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 11, 2011Verified Purchase
An absolute must read for everybody. I had doubts about the truth of these events from the very beginning when I first saw the news coverage of what we were told happened at the Pentagon, and also the very obviously controlled way the twin towers fell. Any book about 9/11 by David Ray Griffin should be mandatory reading.

Horrifying proposition
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 5, 2013Verified Purchase
This book puts forward a truly horrifying proposition - that the government of the Unites States, or a group of powerful men within the government, either set up the 9/11 attacks or were complicit in them, the purpose being to provide a casus belli against Saddam Hussein. The author shreds the 9/11 Commission Report, which strongly resembles the Warren Commission set up after the assassination of President John F Kennedy. Both Commissions had already made their minds up before they even started their work, that they were going to find in favour of the official version, and ignore any evidence to the contrary. The idea that a democratically elected government would deliberately set out to murder thousands of its own citizens in order to justify the War on Terror is terrible to consider, but the author does a brilliant job of making you think that is indeed what did happen
