Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed. The War on Freedom: How and Why America Was Attacked September 11, 2001. 2002. In the growing body of work that suggests or attempts to prove that the Bush administration facilitated the events of 9-11, Michael Moore's documentary may stand as one of the worst examples, and this book one of the best. A number of facts that have been brought up in numerous writings are here explained thoroughly and put into context so effectively that the idea that Bush allowed 9-11 to happen in order to get instant popular support (or stunned compliance) for his agenda of killing hundreds of thousands, destroying America's credibility, ruining the tax infrastructure, unwriting the constitution, and hastening the environmental catastrophe seems not only possible but inevitable. Most startling to me was the chapter on the coppase of Standard Operating Procedure on 9-11. Stan Goff had asked: Why were there no fast movers in the sky over the pentagon? Ahmed points out that any time any commercial plane goes off course fighter planes are routinely and immediately dispatched to intersect its path within minutes. But for some reason not on that day, which reason can only be an executive order to stand down. Say it isn't true.
