The Ultimate 9/11 'Truth' Showdown: David Ray Griffin vs. Matt Taibbi
http://www.alternet.org/rights/100688

Here's how I see it:
Logic vs. journalism. Critical thinking vs. bluster.

Taibbi is in over his head. Typical for these times, he doesn't let  
that stop him from taking a position and noisily defending it.

Interesting how sensitive this topic is. Often when you threaten  
someone's world view, they stop making sense.

It's about as satisfying as the pseudo-debates we see on TV for  
president and vice president. But that should not be surprising.  
There is a fundamental dialogue going on that surfaces in one area  
after another.

Jim Kenney, who was keynote speaker at A Better Day on 9/20 (better- 
day.info) talks about sea change:

TWO WAVES

Imagine an ocean moment…two waves converging in the same time and  
space. One is powerful but subsiding, the other just gathering  
momentum and presence but not yet cresting. At the moment of their  
meeting they are nearly equal in amplitude and influence. As they  
cross, who can say which is rising, which descends? In that moment  
there is only the chaos of wave interference, as the medium of  
interaction is utterly changed. Now take another moment and imagine  
modernity as a powerful wave of cultural values that crested half a  
century ago and is now slowly beginning to subside. A second wave of  
countervailing values rises equally slowly, building until its  
cresting amplitude begins to rival the declining energy of the older  
wave.
