David Ray Griffin Answers (Some) Questions

David Ray Griffin finally gets around to answering some of the questions posed to him on the RINF forum, including one by some guy named Brainster:

Brainster Asks:Dr Griffin:

1. Do you still believe, as you wrote here
(http://www.dwfed.org/pp_objections_world%20govt_considered.htm),
“only in a federal system of global government can real political and economic decentralization and autonomy be possible.”

2. Why do you say that the fires in the World Trade Center were oxygen-starved? Isn't it obvious that the holes in the towers could provide plenty of oxygen?

3. Do you believe there were hijackers on the four planes that crashed on 9-11?

Dear Brainster, First, I have not changed my views about the need for global democracy, as I indicated in my answer to Dachsie.Second, the reason to say that the fires were oxygen starved is that black smoke was issuing forth, as even Thomas Eagar and NIST admit (see my discussion of NIST’s “Answers to Frequently Asked Questions” in “Debunking 9/11 Debunking”). Third, see my answer to Ningen.

Unsurprisingly, he declined to address my question at all:

Dr. Griffin, Why do you write in your book, a New Pearl Harbor on page 37...

But if what hit the Pentagon had been a Boeing 757, it would be very surprising to have reports of people-especially people with trained eyes and ears--claiming to have seen a missile or small military plane. These reports of having seen a missile or a small military plane must, accordingly, be given more weight. Properly interpreted, then, the eyewitness testimony does not contradict, but instead supports, the missile theory.

despite the fact that you do not actually cite a single person having seen a "missile or small military plane" at the Pentagon? Was this simply an oversight on your part, or were you being intentionally misleading?
