Griffin"s meritorious effort to raise public awareness and understanding Former Chicago and Harvard law professor Cass Sunstein, who in 2009 was appointed by President Barack Obama to direct an important executive branch office, had in 2008 co-authored an article containing a plan for the government to prevent the spread of anti-government "conspiracy theories." Arguing that such theories are believed only by groups suffering from "informational isolation," he advocated the use of anonymous government agents to engage in "cognitive infiltration" of these groups in order to introduce "cognitive diversity," with the aim of breaking them up. Noting that Sunstein"s proposal has evoked condemnations from across the political spectrum--not least because it, being similar to the FBI"s COINTELPRO of the 1960s, would be illegal--David Ray Griffin focuses on the fact that Sunstein"s primary target is the conspiracy theory advocated by the 9/11 Truth Movement. Examining Sunstein"s charge that this theory is both "harmful" and "demonstrably false," Griffin uses both satire and overwhelming evidence to show that this twofold charge applies instead to what Sunstein calls "the true conspiracy theory" about 9/11-namely, the "theory that Al-Qaeda was responsible for 9/11."
