When is a 9/11 book more about money than truth?
A serious question, not trying to get anyone's goat... I will have to deal with this in a few months here. Philosophically speaking, there are a lot of books about 9/11 out there, mostly (of course) interested in the official story.

Is it a truism that all books that tout the official story are inherently cynical in-it-for-the-money endeavors, and that all books questioning the official story are purity-of-intent truth-seeking ones? Or is there another litmus test?

No, of course not. A lot of people believe a lot of things. But there's no litmus test I know of unless you can get inside the heads of the authors.
