Welcome to Terrorland: Mohamed Atta & the 9-11 Cover-Up Florida

Summary: Essential reading for any patriotic American
Review: All of us would seem to have strong emotions about the events of 9-11-01. Everywhere you go people talk of it. Public policy has changed substantially because of it and we are constantly reminded by politicians "the world has changed since 9-11."

Buying this book and reading it does not constitute a sudden decision to agree with everything Hopsicker writes. However, it is inexcusable not to read it, and by the way, nothing has been refuted and Hopsicker has never had to make a retraction on this two books despite powerful people with powerful lawyers who would want to and in some cases have sued him.

If you don't read it, you become a silly person who talks about Blowbacks and A Just Response and The Right Way to Fight the War on Terror. That makes you a totally lost fool.

If you want to read it and prove on Amazon or elsewhere that it's not true, please do. I wish we were attacked by a bunch of ragtag terrorists from Afghanistan that somehow knew that the air force would be lazy that day and Bush would be into billy goat stories.

But we're not. It is much worse like that. And rather than create some grand theory about some global cabal Hopsicker has done all the legwork and knocked on all the doors to prove that (1) Atta was trained in a known haven for the CIA (2) Atta was trained in previous years by the military (3) both political parties are tied to the place Atta was trained at and (4) drug smuggling on a grand scale was going on there (see Hopsicker's previous book). It is a lot for one man to do, and there is much more to be done, but this is the best starting point out of piles of books on 9-11 to understand what is going on.

Summary: A must read -- Hopsicker's the Michael Moore of print
Review: An important and thoroughly entertaining read. As Hopsicker says, the mainstream media spend more time telling us about Ben and J-Lo than they do researching the team of 19 "lone gunmen" who killed 3,000 of our fellow citizens. Like Michael Moore, Hopsicker also reminds us of things that float just below our consciousness. I remember reading that the Bush Administration ordered the FBI to shift focus from 9/11 to the anthrax investigation. What Hopsicker does is remind us that they never returned to that assignment. He has gone as far as he can in getting us answers, and he poses all the right questions we still need to pursue. In the great tradition of the Michael Moore renegade who searches out the truth for the rest of us, Hopsicker helps us understand that this attack remains one of the great unsolved crimes of all time. Let's hope this book becomes the success it deserves to be so that he and his Mad Cow Press can continue their work.

Summary: A TRUE Investigative Reporter!!!
Review: This book by Daniel Hopsicker, is a true work of investigative reporting. If only the 911 Commission, the FBI, and everyone else investigating 911 would have done the work that Hopsicker has done! He has many instances where what he found out through interviews with people who had encounters with the hijackers, that the 911 report had them not in Florida, but somewhere else! Since the 911 report only dealt with information from the FBI, this book is necessary to see what you are not being told about 911 in relation, especially to what the 'terrorists' were doing in Florida. The chapters on the flight schools is invaluable research, something that a reporter and/or especially an FBI agent should have done. This book is for those who want to begin to unravel the mysteries surrounding 911. This isn't conspiracy theory. This is factual information gained by solid investigative reporting - something that no major news outlet has done on 911 and certainly, few other authors. Highly recommended, insightful, full of questions that need to be answered but more than likely won't. Does the 911 report remind anyone who lived through the JFK assassination and the infamous Warren Commission. This book and Hopsicker's great website www.madcowprod.com have the juicy details and much, much more.
