Influence
The book and its online counterpart were perhaps most notable for their use by the
Jersey Girls in their attempts to influence the work
of the 9/11 Commission. Kristen Breitweiser has personally endorsed the book, stating, "If you want to know everything about 9/11,
you must read this book ... Our intelligence agencies should be recruiting people like Paul Thompson, because he's brilliant".[2] The
9/11 Truth Movement film "9/11: Press for Truth" documents the journey of the Jersey Girls and it uses the book and website as its
primary reference.[3]

Thompson's work was cited as a key piece of research in a Complaint and Petition, which seeks a criminal inquiry and/or grand jury
investigation into "the many still unsolved crimes of September 11, 2001," that was filed with and accepted by the New York
Attorney General's Office.[4]

His work is also cited in the books Bad News by Tom Fenton[5] and Fog Facts by Larry Beinhart.[6] Richard Clarke has put it on his
reading list for his course on "Terrorism, Security, and Intelligence" at Harvard University.[7]

The Terror Timeline had contained previously published reports that were subsequently retracted, including allegations against a
Saudi man, Mohammed Al Amoudi, that he had funded, supported, or is associated with Osama bin Laden, Al Qaeda, and their
terrorist activities.[8] The sources cited in the book also incorrectly said that Al Amoudi was a defendant in a lawsuit filed by families
of 9/11 victims.[8] These reports were based on published news reports that were later retracted but cited in first edition runs of the
