David Ray Griffin is a professor of philosophy of religion and theology, emeritus, at Claremont School of Theology.
He has had a highly respected career as a theological educator and philosopher and has been the author of some 20 or 25 books on theology and morality. He seems intent on closing the breach between science and religion. You can read about him here
He has just published his fourth book on the events of 911 called "Debunking 911 Debunking" which you can read about here:
long link
He has delivered some very serious blows to the credibility of the "911 Commission Report" and to defenders of the official story (such as magazine "Popular Mechanics"), particularly in his book "911 Omissions and Distortions".
Sometime after "Omissions and Distortions" kind of sank in, the 911 Commission members alongside the Mighty Wurlitzer of the media ground into gear churning out different versions from the original explanations of the complex web of events that took place on 911. In the present book, Griffin takes on these second-set explanations as well as the initial presentations. And, again, it is a very punishing exposition of logic! You need not read his previous books.
I can understand some people's reluctance to expose themselves to highly controversial (or seemingly tainted) material, but it appears to have gone beyond all that now. Griffin's latest book is meticulous in its ferreting out of the truth from lies, obfuscation
and fictions.
It's about the closest that anyone on Earth will ever come to actually seeing an angel do battle with Satan! Although David Ray Griffin is obviously a very grounded, practical-minded guy, I'm quite sure that he feels he is taking on a monstrous evil. And he appears to be winning the fight! I'm rooting for the angel.
Amazon delivers in a plain, brown package!
He has also been consulting on the film "Loose Change Final Cut" which is due out in September. This film's first two editions have been seen by millions of people worldwide and has been the most downloaded doc video in internet history. Television's Charlie Sheen will narrarate it. And the film's distribution will be handled by the billionaire owner of the Dallas Mavericks, Mark Cuban. Quite a long way from the first edition which was done on a laptop for $1,500!
Loose Change promises to be as like the other clenched fist - straight to demonic glass jaw itself- and will be the source that the most people will use for their information. But this book is more systematic and logically relentless than the film could possibly be.
This book review is included on PeakOil.com because many believe that the events of 911 and the subsequent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Patriot Act, The Military Commissions Act, and the destruction of respect for American ideals worldwide have as roots the fundamental, incipient struggle over increasingly (and fully expected) scarce petroleum resources and their distribution.
I'd have to say Griffin's "Debunking 911 Debunking" represents the definitive argument at this point.

I don't get it. A religious nut of one sort or another ( believing in such a thing as religion..how SILLY can people get ) decides to refute demolition experts and you appear to imply he wins? An interesting theory, after he retired from being a religious nut, did he acquire a PhD in explosives or some such? I didn't see that qualification in his Wikipedia resume...Wikipedia admittedly not being the final word on much of anything..but its generally right...sometimes.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I') don't get it.
He compiles and analyses times, logistics, facts and things like that which were produced by others and documented in a formal way. He quotes a ton of references on every page.
Griffin appears to have a pretty big mind and argues with a lot of skill. Touche.

Everything outside of mathematics can be argued or disproved....so debating what happened on 9-11, while amusing, requires more than the training in strength of materials, demolition or applied physcis a religious studies teacher might get during the normal course of his professional training.

Oh I see, PO must be a "math" thing.
