On January 12, 2010, David Ray Griffin posted an essay, titled, “Phone Calls from the 9/11 Airliners: Response to Questions Evoked by My Fifth Estate Interview”, on the Canadian website, Global Research. As this essay forms part of an already ongoing debate on the subject of phone calls from the 9/11 airliners, including that which Ted Olson claimed to have received from his wife, Barbara, (the only “proof”, incidentally, that flight 77 was hijacked by men with box-cutters), I have pieced together the following background information.
From Wikipedia:
David Ray Griffin (born 1939) is a retired professor of philosophy of religion and theology. Along with John B. Cobb, Jr., he founded the Center for Process Studies in 1973, a research center of Claremont School of Theology which seeks to promote the common good by means of the relational approach found in process thought.
More recently, Griffin has published a number of books on the subject of the September 11 attacks, suggesting that there was a conspiracy involving some elements of the United States government.
These include: The New Pearl Harbor: Disturbing Questions About the Bush Administration and 9-11, The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions and Distortions, Christian Faith and the Truth Behind 9/11: A Call to Reflection and Action, Debunking 9/11 Debunking: An Answer to Popular Mechanics and Other Defenders of the Official Conspiracy Theory (Revised & Updated Edition), 9/11 Contradictions: An Open Letter to Congress and the Press, New Pearl Harbor Revisited: 9/11, the Cover-up and the Exposé, and, The Mysterious Collapse of World Trade Center 7: Why the Final Official Report About 9/11 Is Unscientific and False.
