Have you received your copy of the best-selling book in America?

Did you know that the 9/11 hijackers repeatedly broke the law in entering the US? As many as thirteen hijackers used passports that had been fraudulently altered. It’s all in the book.

In May 2002, Condoleezza Rice said, “I don’t think anybody could have predicted that these people would take an airplane and slam it into the World Trade Center." And former FBI Director Louis Freeh told the Commission that he “never was aware of a plan that contemplated commercial airliners being used as weapons.” Really? Jack Ryan would have imagined the scenario. How many authors of spy novels imagined similar scenarios? At least one band, Soul Coughing, also had the idea about the Chrysler Building. The Commission found that several threat reports circulated within the government in the late 1990’s stated the possibility of an attack using airliners as missiles. So I guess it’s comforting to know that somebody outside of the entertainment industry was using his or her imagination. And have we already forgotten the title of the briefing paper (Bin Ladin Determined to Attack in U.S.) that had been presented to the vacationing President Bush on August 6, 2001? Then there’s the case featured on PBS’s Frontline, The Man Who Knew about John O’Neill, former head of the FBI’s antiterrorism unit. It seems that he was hot on the trail of something big before a clash of egos and politics forced him out of the bureau. His next job was head of security at the WTC, where he died on September 11, 2001.
