I'm not what you'd consider a conspiracy buff. It's not that I don't believe in conspiracies, it's just that in a country impervious to the insult of having its alleged "war on terror" overseen by those who facilitated Central American death squads during the Reagan years, it's naively optimistic to expect the populace to suddenly develop the kind of night vision required to probe the murkiness that envelops the real operators of big time American political and corporate enterprise.

And so when a friend who has embraced every Reynolds-Wrapped hypothesis that's come along over the past 30 years (not to mention a few dozen more he created on his own) wrote me to say "CSPAN may have something interesting about 9/11 on this Saturday morning...I'll send you something..." I knew it would be some sort of conspiracy theory.

His next e-mail was a forward of an announcement that David Ray Griffin, a respected scholar, would be on C-SPAN2 discussing his new book " The 9/11 Commission: Omissions and Distortions." Having long harbored feelings that the Bush Administration at the very least failed to do its job of protecting us on that awful day, I tuned in.

I had my own question about 9/11. It was: who had the most to gain from it? With the passage of time the question became: Who did gain the most from it? Well on September 10, 2001 George W. Bush was a struggling and unimpressive court-appointed president of the United States. By September 12, 2001 he was our flag-wrapped war president leading us anywhere he chose. If you weren't for tax cuts for the wealthy, the terrorists won. If you didn't support revenge so blind that it eventually misled us into war against a people with no connection to 9-11, you were an accessory after the fact to the heinous crimes committed that day. By last year it wasn't unusual to see bumper stickers implying that John Kerry was al Qaeda's choice to replace George W. Bush.

While Bush prosecuted a foreign policy that alleged to spread freedom and democracy around the world, ancient cornerstones of our republic like due process under the law quickly became just a quaint option to his federal authority. Slowly but surely many people began to fear that not only could it happen here. But it was. And the "it" to which I allude, is fascism. This raises the most awful question of all: could the horror of 9/11 have been the American burning of the Reichstag? I surely hope not but the question must be answered.

This country is crazy for forensics. There are dramas, reality shows and almost entire networks devoted to piecing together crime scenes so that truth can be uncovered and justice achieved. Well what bigger crime than 9-11 has been committed in our "homeland" during our lifetimes? Yet as Griffin painstakingly details in his book, the vast crime scenes created on that September morning were violated so profoundly that within weeks of the attacks the steel from the World Trade Towers was on a fast boat to Asia, where it was melted down. Think that over before you buy your next Chinese-manufactured lawnmower at Wal-mart.

In any case, I was so impressed with Griffin's presentation that I bought and read his book " The 9-11 Commission: Omissions and Distortions." In it he unapologetically raises the possibility that the collaborators that succeeded so terribly that day, had ties to the White House. He also reminds us that before we discount his book as just another conspiracy theory, we should remember that what we have been sold as the facts from that day is itself nothing more than just another conspiracy theory.

He asks many questions to which we did not receive answers from a Commission peopled by Washington insiders. He points out that Bush's conduct on 9-11 was absurdly dangerous if we are to believe he and the Secret Service thought this country was under widespread attack. He questions just what hit the Pentagon and why what hit it, struck at such an improbable spot on the world's most well defended structure. He probes the WTC towers as well as the infamous Building 7 collapsing in a manner that is consistent with controlled demolition. And he asks a lot more questions I haven't the space to include here. Fortunately his reasoned queries are all in his book. Please read it and decide for yourself if we need a new show on the fall television schedule CSI: America.

For anyone who missed this, go to this site, download and watch the most damning evidence yet that the towers were already pre-wired with explosives, IN ADVANCE, to bring them down on that fateful 9/11 day.

The very long download time for the video will be worth every second of your time when you see it.

I suggest you spend the download time mixing yourself a VERY STIFF DRINK - maybe a thermos-full - you're gonna need it after you watch this video.

And if it was all set up IN ADVANCE - that means that PLANES didn't kill those thousands of Americans; FIRE didn't kill those thousands of Americans. The people who wired those buildings and pressed the buttons killed those thousands of Americans!
