Of course, by failing to mention that I added the above caveats, Rogerson leaves it open for the reader to assume that I was blindly acknowledging the event as a prediction of 9/11 - which I didn't. All I claim in my book is that I found the close proximity of her prediction to 9/11 chilling".<br /><br />I'm also intrigued by his comments on the book title.
