"Christian Faith and the Truth Behind 9/11: A Call to Reflection and Action" is the third book on the subject by David Ray Griffin, a professor emeritus of theology at Claremont School of Theology who is also a well-published and prominent process theologian.

1. "The Truth"?

What does he say "the truth" is? Anyone know?

2. Here's a snippet from the article:

In his book, Griffin argues the Bush administration planned the events of September 11 so they could provide justification for going to war with Afghanistan and Iraq. He writes that although Christianity began as a specifically anti-empire gospel, the church has been silent about an imperialistic America—which he compares to the Roman Empire.

"I became more convinced that if the truth about 9/11 was going to be exposed, the churches were probably going to have to be involved," Griffin told CT. "If we become convinced that the so-called war on terror is simply a pretext for enlarging the American empire, we have every reason as Christians to try and expose the truth behind 9/11."

I've heard him interviewed on AAR within the last year, I think on the Mike Malloy Show. This "conspiracy theory" explanation was what he felt the evidence leads us to -- it had to be a MIHOP even though that is the worst thing to consider.
