Features: David Griffin's book is a masterpiece that exposes numerous puzzling questions that demand complete and clear answers if the democratic system were truly capable of controlling political and military leaders. In my view, the evidence used to challenge this official explanation mainly falls into five categories. The four chapters in the first part discuss these five types, primarily focusing on the contradictions and irrationalities inherent in the official account of events on 9/11. The second part discusses the other four types of evidence. All these evidence are organized around certain "unsettling questions"—these questions are unsettling because they suggest that this official explanation is, as the English title of this book (entitled "The New Pearl Harbor" by Michael Moore) implies, a "grand deception." Additionally, they are unsettling because they indicate the following corrective thesis: that the 9/11 attack, correctly labeled as evil by President Bush, was orchestrated by some officials of the Bush administration. In the "Conclusion," I raise the question of whether my full exposition of the evidence presented in the preceding chapters truly constitutes, as these conspiracy theorists suggest, a conspiracy by the official on the 9/11 attack. Then, I discuss the implications of the investigations that now need to be carried out.
