I have started to read this at a friends strong suggestion.
The basic thesis is that the Bush administration was knowledgable in advance about 9/11 and maybe involved.
If you take the material at face value it is compelling. I have found little on the web but raves for it.
However, my bullshit detector started to beep loudly in the first chapters.
He suggests that the buildings were blasted to bring them down that the planes could not do it. One thing that he makes a big 'mystery' out of is the 2nd building hit being the 1st to fall.
I checked for about 20 pages around this where he emphasizes the mystery and never once mentions which floors where hit. Someone who is NOT trying to arrive at the "truth" as he suggests but is trying to get to a predetermined, book selling result I think.
What does everyone else think?

Lots of disbelief
Well, I don't believe the book either. But no one is giving me much evidence to refute it just a lot of incredulity.
I'm surprised I haven't been able to find any detailed sceptical discussion of it on the web yet. Has anyone found anything else?
