A compact 258 page paperback gives us the latest developments in the tangled web that is 9/11. Homicide cases usually fall into place the more evidence that is gathered, but in the six years that have elapsed since the tragic events, the case is still a mystery, wrapped in a riddle, shrouded in an enigma.
Ian Henshall has written an updated edition of his follow-up to "9/11 Revealed" bringing in more detail to flesh out the known information that has surfaced, despite the insistence of the mainstream media in sticking slavishly to the version put out by the much-maligned 9/11 Commission. The book is written in succinct style and is well-illustrated. It would provide an excellent introduction on the subject to the casually interested reader who only knows what has been fed to him/her by the TV, press and the Hollywood movie machine.
At the same time, I'm sure the more experienced student of the subject would welcome a review and update.
The major problem facing any serious investigator/researcher into this case is the fact that much of the evidence has been destroyed or rendered inaccessible - in itself a criminal act. There are inconsistencies in the 9/11 Commission report - right across the board - and Henshall highlights this.
Many researchers have come to the opinion that rogue elements of the US Secret Services "Made It Happen On Purpose", but Henshall leans more to the theory that the powers-that-be "Let It Happen On Purpose". He outlines evidence showing that some sort of a plot was in existence abroad, at least as early as 1995. He covers in depth, the relationship between the CIA, Al-Qaeda, and foreign intelligence services, the various players involved, and the many warnings that reached the Bush Administration, only to be met by a strange paralysis.
Henshall examines in detail the NORAD "mock hijacking" drills that were taking place that same day. Were the alleged hijackers "patsies" who thought they were merely part of the drills? How on earth would they be able to perform some of the manoeuvres involved? For example, the aircraft/missile/object that impacted the Pentagon apparently executed a tight, corkscrew-type descent from 7,000 feet. The alleged Pentagon hijacker, Hanjour, flunked flying school on a Cessna. One wonders in fact whether the flying school episodes were simply part of a "sheep-dipping" process.
Now to add to the Flight 77 scenario we have the 2006 "black box" information released by the NTSB under a FOIA request. Assuming there has not been any foul play, the indicated flight path goes well above the Pentagon roof.
Henshall examines the question as to how the WTC towers could have collapsed at freefall speed. His conclusion is that high-temperature explosions occurred. This is in agreement with Dr Steven Jones' forensic examination of the available residue, which revealed the presence of thermite. The "official" explanation gives conventional fire as the cause of the collapses and the molten steel which resulted; the required temperature in this case would be roughly 2750 degrees Fahrenheit, which has never been attained by conventional fire; an elementary error on the part of the Commission.
Then there is the case of an FBI translator who, Henshall tells us, allegedly unearthed a 9/11 - related criminal network in Washington, only to be prevented by court injunctions, from speaking to Congress about the matter.
Henshall leaves no stone unturned in examining the movements of the various aircraft that day, and looks at the alleged phone calls made from the aircraft. It is a fact that cell phone calls from aircraft do not work from above about 2,000 feet; other investigators, notably Professor Dewdney, have confirmed this in practice. The 9/11 Commission dealt with this problem by not disclosing which of the alleged calls were from cell phones as opposed to air-phones.
The suspicions simply multiply the more the various facets of the case are examined in detail.
Criticisms of the book? The author admits that it isn't possible to cover every aspect of the case in 258 pages. He does go into the Pentagon impact in some detail, but doesn't seem to give too much attention to the physical appearance of the aircraft in New York, which in many people's minds is one of the most suspicious features of the case.
Nevertheless, I think this book is an excellent read, both for the uninitiated as well as the seasoned 9/11 sleuth.

I am not a conspiracy theorist, but nor am i easily blinded by false propositions that amounts to nothing less than propaganda. It is not a comfortable thought for us ordinary decent people to know, that much of the world's events are orchestrated, and have been throughout history. I have nothing to gain by this view, nor do i expect you to naively believe what i say, just that you do not naively believe what 'anyone' says. Ask questions and use your intelligence.
Whether you like this idea or not it is fact, look it up, the world is controlled by a small number of elite groups who include politicians, religious figures, banking & media figures and who openly admit their agenda for a new world order. What they don't admit, is how this is being achieved - but it IS being achieved right now, by creating problems. This is the single most important thing to realise, no matter how uncomfortable it is. They CREATE problems, using the media to sway the public opinion. It is not very nice to know that these elite groups of people will go to extreme measures to ensure those problems they create are big enough and shocking enough to cause uproar. This uproar invokes the hearts of many, propagated and hyped up using well known psychological influences on the mass people so that they live in a state of fear. When people fear they will do anything, they will look to anyone. Look at our programs on the television, what is their theme? Look at the newspapers, what is their theme? Look at how we live, what is the theme? Do you notice anything in common? Do you think that this is by accident? If you do your own research and i think you should, you will discover the same family names appear again and again in very influential organisations, mostly centred around the banking and media system. And these are systems. Let's not forget the world economy crisis now, ORCHESTRATED, money is paper, it is worthless relatively speaking, it is printed off a machine. Every single dollar that is printed is only leant out with interest attached to it. From day one, this has been the case. So, let me ask you, if every dollar that is leant out, has interest attached, then all the money out there has a value more than what anyone is ever able to pay back. Simply put, it is a never-ending cycle of debt and it is used to manipulate changes in world events when it suits them. These changes are in the direction of a new world order.
Look at the world since 9-11 is it better? Is it more free? Yet, freedom and peace and liberty is what these people preach. These elite few, that make up humanity's demise, are in disguise as freedom seekers carrying the torch of humanity, they are against the free human, it is NOT what their intentions are and people are too intelligent to be blinded by this anymore.
Don't take my word for it, do some research for yourself and you will find that 'they', those few elite, for the past few hundred years have operated within societies that built institutions that currently control our world (for example the federal reserve, the media, the government). When you come home after working for a national company whose director is probably in one of the elite groups, you then sit in front of a tv and let the same elite group take over your mind, what you watch determines how you feel, sad programs, comedies, which are on the tv more? Thrillers or good-feeling programs, which are on the tv more? Why can't you mute the picture of a tv? You can mute the sound, but you can't mute the picture. Dont't be passive to what is around you, question things and you will soon know what freedom is. TV used to be the illusion, but now it is most people's reality - think about what is pushed to us every day. Why is there freeview? Why isn't there free phone calls or free internet why is there free television? It is the chewing gum that keeps their system together, creating hype which then breeds more problems from humanity who thinks this hype is happening. Take hoodies for example, it was media hype now young males out there are thinking there are all these gangs of hoodies, so they start forming their own gangs of hoodies, and suddenly there really is a problem. The MEDIA SETS TRENDS. SIMPLE. With september 11th however, this was an orchestrated event, orchestrated because it had to be a big enough problem to really induce people to demand tighter control as a solution. We are being stripped of our liberties and we are aksing for it to happen by believing words of strange men and women whom we know nothing about.
Don't be fooled so easily, wake up a bit, do some research of your own, ask questions for yourself or you are nothing but a slave to a system that has conditioned you and the reigns will be getting tighter. At the moment this can be seen in or economy, which as time goes on WILL result in a one world banking system, a one world economy, one body controlling the many, enslaving the majority of the human race for reasons that are not appropriate to include in this text. There are specific reasons why this is the ultimate goal, but these reasons are likely to shatter your whole understanding of reality and for those reasons you shold take your own time to work through the many falseities that have been presented to you by those we trust to lead. Once you have done this, start leading yourself, do not lazily go through life thinking things don't affect you because they will and this will become more evident as time goes on. Do yourself a favour and wake up to what's around you, it is likely to steer the course of humanity in to the right direction and every individual counts.
 An excellent, well presented and informative book. March 16, 2008

In a nutshell, the evidence captured in this book (and what is now available in general) is overwhelming and so clearly disproves the laughable government account of how 9/11 was 'unexpected' and carried out by 'freedom hating evil-doers'. It only takes a little independent research to realise that the 9/11 attack was not only known about in advance, but was documented as being the missing catalyst required to secure a indefinite military presence in the Middle East - the evidence is available, though unfortunately not through corporate/government influenced mainstream media!
 Complete garbage, dont buy this book! March 8, 2008

A series of half truths, guesses and fantasy; an insult to all those who died.
