Following the September 11 attacks , David Ray Griffin moved his focus from questions of philosophy and religion to ones of politics and history , specifically American expansionism and imperialism . He intended to write a book on the subject , presenting 9/11 in terms of " blowback " for aggressive United States foreign policies of the 20th century : Until the spring of 2003 , I had not looked at any of the evidence . I was vaguely aware there were people , at least on the internet , who were offering evidence against the official account of 9/11 ... I knew the US government had ' fabricated ' evidence to go to war several times before . Nevertheless ... I did not take this possibility seriously ... I was so confident that they must be wrong . After reading the work of Paul Thompson and Nafeez Ahmed , he became convinced that there was a '' prima facie '' case for the contention that there must have been complicity from individuals within the United States and joined the 9/11 Truth Movement in calling for an extensive investigation from the United States media , Congress and the 9/11 Commission . At this time , he set about writing his first book on the subject , which he called '' The New Pearl Harbor : Disturbing Questions About the Bush Administration and 9/11 '' ( 2004 )
