Looney liberal conspiracy theories

The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)'s publishing arm has released a book that says President Bush organized New York's Sept. 11 attacks. You got that right folks. That's courtesy of your friendly PCUSA's well-respected 160-old Westminster John Knox Press, the trade and (highly respected) academic publishing imprint of the Presbyterian Publishing Corporation, bringing a conspiracy theory fanned by the flames of the world's Islamic jihadists into the U.S. religious mainstream and their own exclusive tweedy Scotch-sipping golf clubhouses.

The book's author, David Ray Griffin, says in 'Christian Faith and the Truth behind 9/11: A Call to Reflection and Action,' that the United States is the world's chief embodiment of demonic power. He claims that he initially rejected 9/11 conspiracy theories, but after investigating, concluded that the Twin Towers were brought down by controlled demolition, and that military personnel were given stand-down orders not to intercept hijacked flights, and that the 9/11 Commission, ostensibly created to uncover the truth behind the events of 9/11, 'simply ignored evidence' that the administration was involved in the attacks.
