JFK, BRAZIL and Leone's AMERICA are acknowledged masterpieces - I just find it amusing that the Gilliam film is one of the few I can think of that deals - in only a mildly veiled way - with false-flag terrorism.

I have a PDF of Piper's book floating around somewhere. Though the book was better written than I expected, and Piper shows signs of being a thoughtful and exacting researcher, I never bought the exclusivity of the overall thesis and agree with Bill Kelly that the various Mossad/Mafia dunnit theses obscure the big picture by only looking at a peripheral chain of events. Like another more recent conspiracy I could name, an undercurrent of Mossad involvement puts events in a revealing light, but doesn't tell the whole story.
