I am half way through John Farmer's "The Ground Truth" - I had high hopes for it

Edited on Wed Nov-25-09 01:10 AM by NRaleighLiberal

after reading a NY Times Sunday book section review that indicated he would dig deeper than past efforts in understanding the lead up to and events of 911.

http://www.amazon.com/Ground-Truth-Untold-America-Attack/dp/1594488940/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1259128872&sr=1-1

Thus far, I have to admit disappointment. Wondering if anyone else has read it or is reading it - and what you think. He paints a picture of a massive screw up (we know that already)...but in pointing out the whitewash, he seems to be just creating another whitewash...

1. I hear footsteps emerging from the Dungeon.

2. Well, if you were just looking for validation of something you already believed

you may be disappointed.

The kinds of things he is pointing out are pretty bad.
