Advance Praise for David Ray Griffins
The New Pearl Harbor Revisited
President Bush and Vice President Cheney have many questions to answer in light of this book. This time they should have to testify separately and under oath. Unlike their testimony at the 9/11 Commission, behind closed doors, this should be open testimony.
Jesse Ventura, Governor of Minnesota, 19992003
Citizens in many countries are waging a war on the cover-up of the basis for the so-called war on terrorthis basis being the official interpretation of the 9/11 attacks. Along with the Internet, which has equipped both public figures and ordinary citizens to wage this war on the cover-up, David Ray Griffin has revealed dozens of omissions, distortions, and contradictions in the official story in a way that provides undeniable evidence of its falsity. The New Pearl Harbor Revisited presents a powerful expos of the false narrative that has been driving the mainstream political agenda since 9/11. It is now up to politicians and journalists around the world to expose this truth to our peoples.
Yukihisa Fujita, member of the House of Councilors, the Diet of Japan
Circuses use people to clean up their elephantsa dirty job, but someone has to do it. The 9/11 Commissioners evidently likened themselves to circus workers, cleaning up after the (Republican) elephant. They did a very sloppy job, making it easy to see that 9/11 was an inside job. The contrary viewthat the 9/11 attacks were perpetrated by Arab Muslimshas been the source of innumerable evils, which threaten to destroy our country and the world itself. David Griffins New Pearl Harbor Revisited contains everything needed by Congress and the press to see through the most massive crime and cover-up in our history.
Edward Asner, actor and citizen
With this work, Dr. Griffin cements his place as the preeminent spokesperson for the growing number of people who demand answers to an expanding list of questions about 9/11.... Even those members of the 9/11 Truth Movement who have immersed themselves thoroughly in the subject will find new information here, presented in the precise and very readable style Dr. Griffin has brought to each of his books.... Absent a revival of investigative journalisma dim prospect at best, in view of the media ownership concentrationbooks like this one, arming the informed citizen with solid information and providing a basis for demanding direct action, appear to be our best hope.
Shelton F. Lankford, Lt. Col. US Marine Corps (Ret.)
You and I, along with all citizens of the world, are victims of a heinous crime. The conspiracy that generated the Twin Tower photo-op, blamed the 9/11 attacks on Arab Muslims, and misdirected truth-seekers by destruction of evidence and willful misrepresentation is masterfully exposed in this book. Who had the motive, means and opportunity to demolish three skyscrapers, including Building 7, which was not even attacked by a mere airplane? Who could penetrate the Earths most heavily defended air space and fortressthe Pentagon? What was their motive? Greed to concentrate power, to control access to the last drop of Gaias reserve hydrocarbon energy? But, alas, who thinks of our children? David Ray Griffin, apolitical scholar and theologian, was transformed by the coup detat into a superb scientist-journalist. By documenting the tragic 9/11 crime, this consummate educator has done us victims a profound service.
Lynn Margulis, Distinguished University Professor, Department of Geosciences, University of Massachusetts-Amherst, and National Medal of Science recipient
Mr. Griffin has again painstakingly laid bare the many lingering questions and inconsistencies of the official story regarding the horrific attacks of September 11, 2001. Sadly, millions of taxpayer dollars have been squandered on investigations that yielded no accountability, few answers, and fewer reforms. Yet, the attacks of September 11, 2001 have been wantonly used as political and policy fodder. Without truth, there can be no accountability. Without accountability, there can be no real change. Without change, we remain at risk.
Monica Gabrielle, widow of Richard Gabrielle, who was killed at WTC2 on 9/11/01, member of the Family Steering Committee for the 9/11 Commission

A CKNOWLEDGMENTS
I n acknowledging the tremendous amount of help and support I received in writing this book, I wish to begin by mentioning the indispensable source for 9/11-related stories published in the mainstream press: The Complete 9/11 Timeline at History Commons (formerly known as Cooperative Research). Started in 2002 by Paul Thompson, it has surely become, through the continuing work of Thompson and his colleagues, the greatest feat of annotated, investigative journal indexing ever achieved on a volunteer basis. Having served as the source of about half of my references in The New Pearl Harbor, this timeline has been equally indispensable for The New Pearl Harbor Revisited.
Whereas most of the people on whose work I drew for this book are named in the notes, I received additional assistance from Dylan Avery, Rob Balsamo, Elias Davidsson, Kee Dewdney, Eric Douglas, Mark Gaffney, Allan Giles, Ed Haas, Barbara Honegger, Jim Hoffman, Robin Hordon, Jay Kolar, Stephen Jones, Alan Miller, Rowland Morgan, Ted Muga, Ralph Omholt, Kevin Ryan, and Russ Wittenberg.
I owe special gratitude to three individuals who provided extraordinary assistance in the actual writing of the book: Matthew Everett, Tod Fletcher, and Elizabeth Woodworth. Besides being three of the best proofreaders in the world, they helped in many other ways. Matthew, who through his work on The Complete 9/11 Timeline has become a gold mine of information, brought to my attention many of the sources I employed. Tod, who seems to know a lot about everything, provided valuable help with every chapter. Elizabeth, who has served as my virtual assistant, employed her gifts as acute critic and research librarian extraordinaire throughout the process, helping in countless ways, including creating the index.
