By virtue of his previous four books on the subject, David Ray Griffin is widely recognized as one of the leading spokespersons of the 9/11 truth movement, which rejects the official conspiracy theory about 9/11. Although this movement was long ignored by the US government and the mainstream media, recent polls have shown that (as Time magazine has acknowledged) the rejection of the official theory has become "a mainstream political phenomenon." It is not surprising, therefore, that the government and the corporate-controlled media have shifted tactics. No longer ignoring the 9/11 truth movement, they have released a flurry of stories and reports aimed at debunking it.
In Debunking 9/11 Debunking, David Ray Griffin shows that these attempts can themselves be easily debunked. Besides demonstrating the pitiful failure of Debunking 9/11 Myths (published by Popular Mechanics and endorsed by Senator John McCain), Griffin riddles recent reports and stories put out by the US Department of State, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, the New York Times, Vanity Fair, and Time magazine. He also responds to criticisms of the truth movement's efforts by left-leaning and Christian publications.
Throughout these critiques, Griffin shows that the charge regularly leveled against critics of the official theory – that they employ irrational and unscientific methods to defend conclusions based on faith – actually applies more to those who defend the official theory. Debunking 9/11 Debunking shows that the truth movement's central claim – that 9/11 was an inside job – remains the only explanation that fits the facts.
