November 22, 2003 1500 PDT (FTW) -- Gerald Posner's new book is called Why America Slept: The Failure to Prevent 9/11. This is the Posner who won
fame in 1993 when he became the foremost advocate of the official story of the Kennedy Assassination. Case Closed claimed to prove that the 35th
President of the United States was murdered (for no particular reason) by a lone nut. The very methodology of that book - quite apart from its
conclusions - has been discredited by the fact-checking research of scholar after scholar.[1] His footnotes often lead nowhere, or direct the reader
to sources whose pages say the opposite of what Posner attributes to them. But the book sold well. Like Senator Arlen Specter's recent memoir A
Passion For Truth, it reassured people who were in the market for reassurance. With that success on his resume, Posner continues to practice his
chosen vocation of making himself useful to those who drive the gravy train.
