David Ray Griffin, PhD is emeritus professor of philosophy of religion and theology, Dr. Griffin is the author or editor of over 20 books, many of them highly acclaimed. He is one of 60 scholars worldwide included in the most recent Handbook of Christian Theologians.
After reading the work of Paul Thompson and Nafeez Ahmed, he became convinced that there was a prima facie case for the contention that there must have been complicity from individuals within the United States, and joined the 9/11 Truth Movement in calling for an extensive investigation from the United States media, Congress and the 9/11 Commission. At this time, he set about writing his first book on the subject, which he called The New Pearl Harbor: Disturbing Questions About the Bush Administration and 9/11 (2004). Although largely ignored by the mainstream media, this highly revealing book has been widely read and translated into many other languages.
Part One of the The New Pearl Harbor looks at the events of 9/11, discussing each flight in turn and also the behaviour of President George W. Bush and his Secret Service protection. Part Two examines 9/11 in a wider context, in the form of four “disturbing questions”. David Ray Griffin discussed this book and the claims within it in an interview with Nick Welsh, reported under the headline Thinking Unthinkable Thoughts: Theologian Charges White House Complicity in 9/11 Attack.
Dr. Griffin has published a piercing critique of the final report of the 9/11 Commission. Calling his critique The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions & Distortions, he shows that the Commission’s report, while presenting itself as an impartial investigation into the facts surrounding 9/11, in reality simply defends the official account, ignoring or else distorting all the facts suggestive of governmental complicity. In numerous radio interviews around the country and the world, Dr. Griffin is helping to mobilize large numbers to demand a real investigation into what happened on that fateful day.
In 2007 Prof. Griffin published his most remarkable book on 9/11, Debunking 9/11 Debunking, a detailed response to the well-funded official and semi-official attempts to debunk the 9/11 Truth movement. His most recent book, 9/11 Contradictions: An Open Letter to Congress and the Press, published in March, 2008, focuses on serious internal contradictions within the official story.
Prof. Griffins’ 9/11 books have sold hundreds of thousands of copies both in the US and abroad. They have been translated into several languages, and have convinced many key people of the need for a truly independent investigation into that fateful day.
