"The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions And Distortions"
Just started reading this new book by David Ray Griffin. So far it is quite good.
Griffin's writing is very clear and easy to read; his logic is often devastating.
Certainly others have taken on the 9/11 commission report, but Griffin is the only to do so in pure book form. His format is good:
Chapter one on the hijackers who are alive-- does the report mention them? NO!
Chapter two on the WTC demolition. Does the report mention the possibility of bombs? NO! It doesn't even mention the demolition of WTC7. Moreover the report badly misrepresents the WTC structure, portraying the heavy core structure of the towers as some sort of flimsy tube.
Chapter three is on the Pentagon hit and whether the report even mentions the anomolies there. Of course not! (Surprisingly, Griffin continues to promote the missile theory-- arguing that physical evidence must trump eye-witness testimony.)
Chapter four is on the odd behaviour of Bush and his secret service team on the morning of 9/11, and whether the report covers this issue satisfactorily. Of course not!
That is as far as I've gotten so far, but definitely a well-written and quick-to-read book covering key aspects of 9/11. I think in general Griffin's writing would appeal to non-conspiracy-minded folk more than other 9/11 books. "Crossing the Rubicon" and "Terror Timeline" while excellent, are very dense and not very accessible. "9/11 Synthetic Terror: Made in USA" is also excellent but is fairly advanced 9/11 material. Hopsicker's "Welcome to Terrorland" is good, but is uneven and would mostly appeal to hard-core 9/11 researchers.
