One of the author's main contentions that the Bush administration helped orchestrate the attacks is his "evidence" that the Pentagon was hit by a missile rather than a Boeing 757 jetliner. His evidence includes the size of the hole in the wall of the Pentagon, and some complex deductions about the size, weight, and materials found in a 757. His conclusion is that an aircraft the size of a 757 could not have created the hole in the wall and the damage inside - the damage was too light. He maintains a missile caused the damage - a missile shot by the American armed forces. He goes on to cite much evidence, all by secondary sources, which explain away eyewitness reports and physical evidence. He even maintains the plane actually diverted from its' course at the last minute and landed at Ronald Reagan Airport in Washington, acting as a cover up for the missile's launch and hit. The author writes, "Having made this point, I now return to the list of reasons for believing that the aircraft that crashed into the Pentagon was not Flight 77. The first two reasons, to recall, were that the identification was based on dubious sources and that the physical evidence was incompatible with this identification" (Griffin). While the author does argue many points, he does not cover opposing viewpoints, other than those that call the missile theory "appalling." It would be interesting to see what experts make of his evidence and theories, and if they have arguments or evidence that debunks the author's ideas. More backup of this type would have made this book more believable. .

             The author's section on the eight scenarios regarding "official complicity" smacks of conspiracy theory in one form or another. He maintains the American public has been so brainwashed over this event that they will not consider any alternatives to the official account of what happened, and they will not support questioning by the media over these events.
