Who was the author on Hardball today?

Something like Ridgely? He wrote a book with a title something like "5 things not known about 9/11." I was working and couldn't pay attention, but it sounded fascinating and I forgot his name.

Any watchers who can help me out?

Thanks

2. Funny you should ask: his name is

James Ridgeway, he wrote "5 Unanswered Questions About 9/11".
The guy who was so supposedly convinced there's nothing amiss
about 9/11 theories is Roger Cressey, (MSNBC) Security Analyst.
I wrote this down to research a bit, so have at it!
RE: Cressey, he claimed to have been interviewed by the 9/11
commission at length.

4. Yeah, I noticed that about Cressey....what's with that?

Why would he have been interviewed "at length" by the commission? As I mentioned, I was working so wasn't able to really concentrate, but this guy came across as pretty nasty and arrogant. Am I wrong, and by the way, who is he? I'm not familiar with him.

Thanks for the info about Ridgeway, babylonsister!

3. He made a good case tonight on "Hardball" despite the rude

interruptions by the hostess O'Donnell.

6. What I noticed about Cressy was

That he very quickly threw in the word "conspiracy". Even before the author had even implied any conspiracy.

It was like he tried to defend a little too much.

And he had no good answer as to why a top informer in the FBI had paid for the apartment for one of the hijackers.
