Paul Craig Roberts Pimps the Shill Game on 9/11 Denier Alex Cockburn's Fake Left Counterpunch

Sorry Paul, but you just spent your remaining credibility capital.  I was willing to forgive his inexplicable association with Counterpunch given his excellent writing, but the following is so far off the mark that it seems that PCR, like so many before him, has had a built-in timer waiting to go off as soon as he accumulated enough credibility among real truthers. 

Best-selling author Steve Alten in his recently published book, The Shell Game, attempts to reach Americans with a thriller that mixes fiction with fact. Alten describes a conspiracy, beginning in 2007 and ending in 2012, by a Black Op group in a Republican administration to set off nuclear weapons in two American cities, with planted evidence pointing to Iran. It is a historical thriller predictive of our immediate future by an author who has no illusions about the US Government or the interest groups that control it.

Alten's book is a first class thriller set in the real world of today. It is a perfect read for Americans who need their dose of reality to be watered down with fiction and delivered as entertainment.
