ah! She gave a speech at my uni a couple of weeks ago called "Red Lines. Free Speech after 9/11". I showed her an article about the House hearings in the US which equated ae911truth.org with jihadist sites and told her about the Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention bill (which she hadn't heard of)
I gave her a Press for Truth and 9/11 Mysteries to be getting on with.

Good wirk Jack, although I'd recommend Improbable Collapse rather then 9/11 Mysteries as it is easily debunked and there is a lot of misinformation.
