Summary: 1 Stars
David Ray Griffin (the only man this side of serial killers who chooses to include his middle name so frequently) takes ample time attacking the Popular Mechanics book and, yeah, that's about it. I'll admit, I have not read the whole book, I read bits here and there. I do feel confident that from the multiple excerpts I have read that I get the gist. He attacks the editors of Popular Mechanics (PM), he attacks the people who contributed to the PM book and spends precious little time doing anything else. Allow me to give the the short hand of this book: Pick any quote from the PM book to which David Ray essentially responds, "uh uh, those guys are stupid heads." He then regurgitates the same old conspiracy theories we've all heard before and does nothing new to contradict the PM boys as he is sorely lacking in hard evidence (but luckily he is brimming with hyperbole, venom and an uncanny ability create improbable and often impossible scenarios). He attacks, attacks and attacks. The PM book called him out quite handily, so I don't blame him for acting defensive but this book feels rushed, lacking in any credibility and just more of the same hateful tone we're used to from Mr. Griffin. At the end of the PM book, the editor wrote an article outlining the vitriolic method taken by conspiracy theorists to spread their cancer-like message. Mr. Griffin seems to have taken that more as a "How To" than a criticism.
Obviously, I think that the official story is the true story and have seen mountains of evidence to support it and not nearly enough to discredit it. Are there a few questions left unanswered? Sure, but aren't there always? Until every last minute question is answered conspiracy theorists will not rest even though they know that is completely unrealistic. I am all for being skeptical of your government, but people like David Ray take it too far and go out of their way to discredit others rather than promote their own beliefs. That is all this book is. Mr. Griffin seems to be the best the conspiracy theorist community has to offer which is one of many reasons I believe, with zero doubt, that the government had nothing to do with 9/11.

Summary of Debunking 9/11 Debunking: An Answer to Popular Mechanics and Other Defenders of the Official Conspiracy Theory
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 corporately 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 the present book, 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 National Institute of Standards and Technology, the New York Times, Vanity Fair, and Time magazine as well as a new book by the chairmen of the 9/11 Commission. He also responds to criticisms of the 9/11 truth movement by left-leaning and Christian publications--which one might have expected to be supportive.
Throughout these critiques, Griffin shows that the charge that is regularly leveled against critics of the official theory-that they employ irrational and unscientific methods to defend conclusions based on faith-actually applies more fully to those who defend the official theory.
This book, by debunking the most prevalent attempts to refute the evidence cited by the 9/11 truth movement, shows that this movement's central claim-that 9/11 was an inside job-remains the only explanation that fits the facts.
