This Week's Guests: David Ray Griffin and Gregory Elich
About this week's guests:
David Ray Griffin is a distinguished author and theologian, Professor of Philosophy of Religion and Theology, Emeritus, at Claremont School of Theology and Claremont Graduate University in Claremont, California.
He is the author and editor of more than 30 books as well as several carefully researched books on 9/11, including the 2004 best seller 9/11: The New Pearl Harbor: Disturbing Questions about the Bush Administration and 9/11, The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions and Distortions (2005), Debunking 9/11 Debunking, and 9/11 Contradictions, described in a recent review as a "brilliant and highly readable book [which] takes a new yet simple approach to the truth about 9/11." David Ray Griffin is also a frequent contributor to Global Research.
Gregory Elich is the author of 'Strange Liberators: Militarism, Mayhem, and the Pursuit of Profit.' He has written extensively on Yugoslavia, North Korea and Zimbabwe. He is a member of the advisory board of the Korea Truth Commission. His articles have appeared in newspapers and periodicals nationally and internationally.
"Using a wealth of historic evidence and revelatory analysis and eye-witness investigation, Gregory Elich treats what lawyers call the 'hard cases': Yugoslavia, Croatia, Zimbabwe, North Korea, and certain untouched questions about Iraq. Elich ties in his deeply informed case studies to the wider issues of U.S. imperial policy, the broader questions of war and peace, and the general crisis that faces the entire world and the planet's ecology itself." Michael Parenti
