It is now more than four years since the 9/11attacks. But the collapsing towers, the smouldering Pentagon, the round bland face of Mohammed Atta still have an intense immediacy. Most people will always remember where they were when the news came through. If some of the details have faded, the mantra 'the world has changed' seems as relevant as ever. The attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on 11 September 2001 had an immense impact on global history. A retaliatory strike against the Taliban has mutated into an open-ended campaign to transform the Middle East. An unpopular president with a doubtful mandate has been able to make far-reaching changes to the US constitution and oversee a massive transfer of wealth to the rich. None of this would have been possible without the 9/11 attacks, yet the events of the day and the period directly prior to the attacks are filled with unanswered questions. Why did the US government pay so little attention to the urgent warnings from friendly intelligence agencies about an impending attack? Why was a range of evidence seized by Federal agencies and never made public? How were they funded? Why was the FBI not able to connect field reports of highly suspicious behaviour at flight schools with warnings of imminent hijackings and possible suicide attacks? And on the day itself, why did US air defence break down so catastrophically? What really happened at the WTC and at the Pentagon? How much of the official story bears up to detailed scrutiny? In this the first, illustrated examination of the 9/11 attacks since the publication of the Kean Report, Morgan and Henshall present a shocking and persuasive new take on the day that became a turning point in history.… (mer)

It started with magazine articles and a couple books but found its growth on the internet. On various web sites, newsgroups and forums, people raised questions and looked for answers to issues they felt were left unaddressed. More books and video exploring the same territory began appearing. It has now mushroomed to the point where it not only has a name, some of its conferences get airtime on C-SPAN. It calls itself the "9/11 Truth Movement," a largely grassroots effort questioning what Americans have been told and believe about what occurred on September 11, 2001.

As I am not one to reject ideas out of hand without some thought and consideration, I decided to try a rational exploration of the issue recently. I picked up 9/11 Revealed: The Unanswered Questions, a generally highly regarded book dealing with the various streams of thought of those who have serious questions about what really happened on September 11, 2001. I also picked up Debunking 9/11 Myths, the paperback publication of a project by Popular Science magazine exploring some of the 9/11 conspiracy claims.

The bottom line? While the Truth Movement raises some questions and coincidences that appear interesting on the surface, its case is held together by a glue made up more of distrust of government and a willingness to make leaps between apparently unconnected events than science and facts.
