That's why I reject most conspiracy theories as implausible. I agreed
with Jerry Gamblin about the guys who made "Loose Change" and how they
responded to the Popular Mechanics guys. I don't know if this book is in
the same mold. But I'll say this: Even if it is 100% baloney, it is
worth noting that nearly every customer reviewer on Amazon is giving it 5
stars, so people must be reading it.
Those that are prone to want to read this kind of book are going to read it, they are already predisposed to believe it anyway, so they are likely to give it a good rating. Like this from the Amazon page you posted.
John V. Whitbeck, author of The World According to Whitbeck
After reading David Ray Griffin's previous books on the subject, I was over 90% convinced that 9/11 was an inside job. Now, after reading
Debunking 9/11 Debunking, I am, I regret to say, 100% convinced.
This to me tells volumes about the people who have posted the ratings on this book. That is people who are already into the conspiracy and are always looking for one more obscure little detail that can be associated to make the conspiracy pausible.
I know the type, I got roped into the cover up and conspiracy theories of what happened in Waco under Clinton's administration. I read books, bought video tapes, everything these nut jobs are doing and grasped every little piece of data that could be twisted to prove the point. Despite all of this research, all of the understanding about what happened, in the end there was no vast conspiracy of governmental takeover or cover-up. It was a simple case of human's doing what they do best, making mistakes.
The very same arguments that these people are making about the WTC collapses are the same arguments made by those who thought Waco was a conspiracy. There are tons of data about seismic readings about when the Oklahoma City building collapsed, about how the bomb that McVie set off could not have been poweful enough to bring that building down. I see the sames things coming from these loons, the only difference now? It was right wing crazies from the Waco conspiracy, now it is left wing crazies with the WTC.
So with a blantant disregard for the truth, for science, these people trudge ahead and make money off the unwitting lemmings who are convinced that Bush is evil. They are convinced that Bush would kill 3,000 Americans in order to further a war. In one side of their mouth they claim how stupid the Bush administration is, then out of the other they parrot how smart they are to pull off such a conspiracy as this.
Go ahead Mike, buy the book, read it, there are 100s of others just like it with the same message in it, choose those too. Here are some links for you of other books that all have equally outstanding reviews.
