The 9/11 Commission Report: Final Report of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States (Authorized Edition)
Product Description: Nearly three thousand people died in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. In Lower Manhattan, on a field in Pennsylvania, and along the banks of the Potomac, the United States suffered the single largest loss of life from an enemy attack on its soil.
In November 2002 the United States Congress and President George W. Bush established by law the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, also known as the 9/11 Commission. This independent, bipartisan panel was directed to examine the facts and circumstances surrounding the September 11 attacks, identify lessons learned, and provide recommendations to safeguard against future acts of terrorism.
This volume is the authorized edition of the Commission's final report.
Amazon.com Review: The result of months of intensive investigations and inquiries by a specially appointed bipartisan panel, The 9/11 Commission Report is one of the most important historical documents of the modern era. And while that fact alone makes it worth owning, it is also a chilling and valuable piece of nonfiction: a comprehensive and alarming look at one of the biggest intelligence failures in history and the events that led up to it. The commission traces the roots of al-Qaeda's strategies along with the emergence of the 19 hijackers and how they entered the United States and boarded airplanes. It details the missed opportunities of law enforcement officials to avert disaster. Using transcripts of cockpit voice recordings, the report describes events on board the planes along with the chaotic reaction on the ground from nearly every level of government. Going forward, the commission calls for a comprehensive overhaul of what it sees as a deeply flawed and disjointed intelligence-gathering operation. The creation of a post for a single National Security Director is recommended, along with the creation of a National Counterterrorism Center. The report finds fault with the approaches of both the Clinton and Bush administrations but, because they were a bipartisan panel and the problems described are so systemic and far-reaching, they stop short of assigning blame to any particular person or group. Credit must be given to how readable the report is. At more than 500 pages, the writing is clear and forceful and the information is made more accessible since it is fre from election politics and rancor. While the commission notes that future attacks are probably inevitable, a coordinated preventive effort along with a clear plan to respond with efficiency can offer Americans some hope in a post-9/11 world. --John Moe
Another Warren Commission-style Piece of Fiction Not since the Warren Commission has an official investigatory body so thoroughly ignored its professed mission to expose the truth and packaged so little critical thinking with so much extraneata. As I read the Commission Report, the refrain that kept recurring was, "They're missing the point!" The entire story supports a lame conspiracy theory that 19 crazed Muslims tricked American defenses and carried out one of the most flawless operation's in history; it's beyond belief. The Commission completely ignores the abundant evidence that calls their claims into question--the same technique the Warren Commission used decades ago.
A professional whitewash!
Complete B/S. Kean admitted it was set to fail! This book would not be if it were not for the countless patriots and family members of the victims who begged and begged for an investigation, instead of straw-man claims and repetitive allegations by the Bush Administration and the cabinet of puppets. When Bush and Cheney met with the commission, they were not under oath, NO press or transcript was allowed, NO family members, and no one in the commission was allowed to modify or question any conclusions made. This is a slap in the face and wake up call to America that your government does not give a damn about you, and 9/11 was an inside job. What does the commission say happened with WTC7? Nothing. Not a word. Not even in a bibliography. They don't even question whether Al-Qaeda was responsible or not. They don't tell you that the CIA funded the terrorist organization in 89. They don't tell you Osama Bin Laden went under the CIA name Tim Osmand. Kean and others on-record admitted "The commission was set to fail". And that they accomplished. It's sick. THIS is THE conspiracy theory for 9/11. Osama Bin Laden, on the FBI's most wanted list, under his crimes he is wanted for, 9/11 is NOT one of them, because "There is no hard evidence linking Bin Laden to the September 11th Attacks". Pure bull**** and psychological warfare on the American people. And they still love the government. wow.
Kindle Edition - TERRIBLE I have no comment about the content. But the production of this Kindle book is downright terrible.
I know you can't expect much for a buck. On the other hand, the guys who made the 35 cents or whatever Amazon pays off this didn't earn it. The text was not cleaned up at all, leaving misplaced punctuation, poor line spacing on practically every sentence, mangling the text so badly it is almost unreadable.
If there is another Kindle version of this book around, I'd choose it even if it cost a tad more.
I'm Gonna Have These Guys Write My Biography Hi. You don't know me. I'm a famous person. You just don't know that yet because I haven't had the correct people write my biography yet. Well, I finally found those people. They are the authors of the official "9/11 Commission Report", first published in 2004 as THE official story of what happened that day in 2001. They are perfect for the job. Their ability to highlight information favorable to an official story, while keeping out or suppressing any details or evidence that might contradict said story, is surpassed by none. I plan on having my agent (once I find one) call them up first thing tomorrow morning.
I actually read this book a few years ago, when I was reading EVERYTHING about 9/11 that I could get my hands on. I had no intention of writing a review of it on Amazon until today, when I noticed David Ray Griffin himself wrote a review of it. (For those who don't know Mr. Griffin, he has written something like six separate books on the events that day that highlight the massive inconsistencies with the official story.) Call me a groupie if you must (which would be slightly less "fishy" than calling me a grouper) . . . but having read most of his works and then now reading his review here, I became inspired to write my own review of it.
This book is truly an exhausting read. Over 600 pages of text and notes. The most striking thing about that fact is how much ISN'T in here. For something that was supposed to be a "comprehensive" report that answered "all" questions, there sure are a lot of things missing. For instance, the authors treated the nasty little issue of WTC Building 7 collapsing at free fall speed (with little damage to it) by . . . um . . . not even mentioning it. I mean, they don't even give it a passing "howdya do?". Completely missing.
Not to be outdone by themselves, though, they leave out a whole bunch of other necessary evidence, such as firefighter and eyewitness testimony about explosions heard within the Twin Towers, the insider trading on the stock market that indicated prior knowledge (except for mentioning it in a small endnote), the close ties of the Bush family and the bin Laden family, the ties of Marvin Bush with the security companies for the WTC and Dulles International Airport, Dick Cheney's role in possible stand-down orders, and various important pieces of structural evidence related to the Twin Towers. The list goes on. There is an actual legal term that describes this: it's called "Suppression Of Evidence". Furthermore, the authors seriously contradict themselves and earlier official stories on more than one occasion, the most notable being the timeline of events and the role of NORAD. How can anyone think this book constitutes a comprehensive report of all the evidence for the largest attack on US soil?
Most people complain about not being able to give some product on Amazon a review with no stars whatsoever, relegated to settling for at least one star. Not me. I think this book DESERVES at least one star. I give the authors praise for concocting this transparent piece of whitewash. I mean, can you imagine what it must have been like in the room when they put this nonsense together? Ah, to be the proverbial fly on the wall. Endless entertainment, I'm sure. But despite my negative review, I WANT you to read this book. PLEASE read it. Then read anything about 9/11 written by David Ray Griffin, especially his first three books, where he expertly dissects the official story and raises much-needed questions about who might really be responsible. (I wrote a review of his very first book on the subject, "The New Pearl Harbor", back in 2005.) Watch the documentaries called "Loose Change" and "Zeitgeist". Educate yourselves. And remember . . . hundreds of thousands of civilians have died in Iraq and Afghanistan BECAUSE you have believed the official story.
So you see . . . you don't know me. But you will. I'm gonna have these guys write my biography. You will soon know me as the man who ended poverty, found the cures for cancer and AIDS, won the Heisman Trophy, discovered the Fountain of Youth, scaled Mt. Everest in the winter, became lifelong drinking buddies with a great white shark, pitched the first ever no-hitter SEASON, wrote the most beautiful piece of music since Beethoven's 9th Symphony, and single-handedly brought lasting peace to the Middle East.
Anyone want the movie rights?
