The book uses mainstream media articles to track the events and principals that lead to the attacks. It is the main research source, and shows far more involvement by the Saudis and the ISI.

His words ring hollow. Zelikow told the Annual Lecture, Houston Journal of International Law, on April 26, 2007 that "good intelligence can be gained by physically tormenting captives". Now the Pentagon wants to execute the prisoners who provided this information, before they have a chance to either confirm on recant their confessions in a free and fair court room. The families of 911 victims are now demanding a whole new 911 Commission. All concerned US citizens should support them.
