Features: David Griffin's book is a masterpiece, exposing 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 primarily proposed to refute this official account falls into five categories. The four chapters in the first part discuss these five types, mainly focusing on the contradictions and irrationalities inherent in the official explanation of events on 9/11 itself. The second part discusses the other four types of evidence. All these pieces of evidence are organized around certain "unsettling questions"—questions that are unsettling precisely because they suggest that this official account is a "grand deception," as the English title of this book, The New Pearl Harbor, implies. Additionally, they are unsettling because they indicate the corrective thesis that the 9/11 attack, correctly termed evil by President Bush, was carried out due to the complicity of certain officials in the Bush administration. In the "Conclusion" section, I raise the question of whether my thorough exposition of the evidence presented in the preceding chapters truly constitutes, as these proponents of the corrective thesis suggest, a conspiracy by the official on the 9/11 attack. Then, I discuss the implications of the investigations that now need to be conducted.
