9/11 and American Empire:
Intellectuals Speak Out
David Ray
Griffin, Peter Dale Scott, Peter Phillips, Kevin Ryan,
Ray McGovern
Editors and contributors to the book, "9/11
and American Empire" assess the Bush
administration's responsibility for the attacks on 9/11,
arguing that key administration officials either
purposefully ignored the threats leading up to the
attacks or were complicit in the planning them. The
panelists say that the administration has used the
attacks to enact long established plans to expand
American empire. The participants are: David Ray Griffin
(co-editor/contributor), Peter Dale Scott
(co-editor/contributor), Peter Phillips (contributor)
and Kevin Ryan (contributor). Former CIA analyst Ray
McGovern moderates the discussion.
The event was hosted by Berkeley, California-based
Pacifica radio station KPFA (www.kpfa.org).
