「同時テロは米政府の陰謀」説が仏でベストセラーに
英紙「ガーディアン」のインターネット版が１日付で報じたところによる

US invented air attack on Pentagon, claims French book
Jon Henley in Paris
Monday April 1, 2002
The Guardian
A bizarre book claiming that the plane that ploughed into the Pentagon on
September 11 never existed, and that the US establishment itself was at the
heart of the New York and Washington attacks, has shot to the top of the
French bestseller lists to indignation on both sides of the Atlantic.
The Frightening Fraud, by Thierry Meyssan, sold out its original run of
20,000 copies within two hours of going on sale. "We've sold 2,500 copies
in 10 days, when a blockbuster novel sells maybe 1,500 in a month," a
spokesman at Fnac Les Halles, one of France's biggest bookshops, said. "It's a
phenomenon."
Mr Meyssan's conspiracy theory argues that American Airlines flight 77,
which killed 189 people when it smashed into the headquarters of the US
defence department, did not exist, and that the whole disaster was a dastardly
plot dreamed up and implemented by the US government.
The French media has been quick to dismiss the book's claims, despite the
fact that Mr Meyssan is president of the Voltaire Network, a respected
independent thinktank whose left-leaning research projects have until now
been considered models of reasonableness and objectivity.
"This theory suits everyone - there are no Islamic extremists and everyone
is happy. It eliminates reality," said Le Nouvel Observateur, while
Lib?ration called the book "The Frightening Confidence Trick... a tissue of
wild and irresponsible allegations, entirely without foundation".
A Pentagon spokesman, Glen Flood, said the book was "a slap in the face and
real offence to the American people, particularly to the memory of victims
of the attacks". He said he had not read it and had no intention of doing so.
Mr Meyssan's argument, which started out as a rumour on the internet and
has risen to prominence largely thanks to the author's reputation and
chatshow appearances, suggests that the plane could not have existed because
eye-witness statements are contradictory, there are suspiciously few
photographs of the catastrophe and none of them shows any wreckage. Even
the rescue workers' accounts, published on the Pentagon website, are not
convincing, he says.
He also asks why the facade of the Pentagon did not immediately collapse
from the shock of the impact, and questions the fate of the plane's
passengers. "What became of the passengers of American Airlines flight 77?
Are they dead?"
Both Lib?ration and Le Monde set out to disprove his theory, tracking down
photographs that do show debris, and speaking to victims' relatives.
But Le Monde admitted that the information made public by Washington did
not entirely add up. "There is no official account of the crash. The lack of
information is feeding the rumour," it complained.
