We feel an obligation to post the item below. Not to do so strikes us as something akin to the old joke about the headline writer “Asteroid heading for earth, likely to destroy all life. Dow Jones loses forty points.”

Of course, we’ll continue with our coverage of Bloomberg — the INDINO (Independent in name only.), the chief financier of New York’s Republican Party, the generous contributor to Bush, the Republican National Committee and Tom DeLay, but we thought you should know about this one.

From Mark Crispin Miller:

Hang onto your hats:

John Farmer, Dean of the Law School at Rutgers University and former Attorney General of New Jersey, was legal counsel to the 9/11 Commission, and in charge of drafting its report.

And now, having read through lots of further evidence, he’s come to the conclusion that the official version of the story is almost entirely untrue, based on false testimony by the White House, CIA, FBI and NORAD.

His new book, The Ground Truth: The Story Behind America’s Defense on 9/11, makes this case with loads of documentary evidence–and his colleagues on the commission are on board, as the article below makes clear.

So are John Farmer and those other members of that very commission all “conspiracy theorists”?

Here’s the press release re: Farmer’s book from Rutgers University:
