Jerry,
To penetrate a market, credentials of authors/editors can be quite
important. Take Borders Books and whoever is making decisions there. The
person knows 9-11 is controversial, but may have a willingness to expose an
issue if able to cover his/her backside. The tactical decisions is not
with regard to the person buying the book, but rather getting bookstores to
include it on their selves.
Incidentally, other authors also offer things of significance, some which
could be considered a bourgeois affirmation. On the one hand, I'm not 100%
comfortable with this whole business (as it surely is), on the other hand,
we live in a world which required Engels to promote Marx's Capital as if he
were not close to it.

This may be an interesting point. But should I be influenced by whatever
his concern may or may not be? After all, only facts are going to be in
print.
Paul
