On October 7, 2006, former CIA Case Officer and Intelligence expert Robert David Steele posted his review of Webster Tarpley's "9/11 Synthetic Terror";

I am forced to conclude that 9/11 was at a minimum allowed to happen as a pretext for war... and I am forced to conclude that there is sufficient evidence to indict (not necessarily convict) Dick Cheney, Karl Rove and others of a neo-conservative coup d'etat and kick-off of the clash of civilizations...

Today, October 26, 2006, Steele gave an interview on the Alex Jones show that was wide in scope, covering intelligence matters, the dangers of concentrated wealth in the United States, and the evolution in technology that is putting open-source intelligence in the hands of the average citizen with an enquiring mind.

At the end of the interview, Steele chatted briefly with Tarpley on air, giving him kudos for "Synthetic Terror", and reaffirming the book's value as a starting point for a new, serious investigation into the events of 9/11.

This endorsement by such an experienced intelligence insider pushed the sales of Tarpley's book into the Amazon Top 100 for the first time, a feat matched thus far only by Michael Ruppert's "Crossing the Rubicon" in the 9/11 skepticism lexicon.
