Meacher claimed that a supposed absence of prevention by United States authorities of the hijackings on 11 September 2001 was suspicious and " offered an extremely convenient pretext " for subsequent military action in Afghanistan and Iraq . This was seen as giving " credence to conspiracy theories " as claimed by the '' Daily Mail '' and '' The Guardian '' . Michael Meacher also wrote a foreword for David Ray Griffin 's book '' The New Pearl Harbor ''
