I recommend this article in the Observer about “the four Moms,” crusading widows and mothers of victims of 9/11 who have refused to stop asking questions of the government’s official version of events on and around that fateful date.
Adrienne and I watched Wide Angle on PBS Thursday about Berlusconi and what a manipulative, anti-Democratic SOB he is, re-writing the laws to favor his business interests, silencing criticism in the media, having two members of Parliament as his personal lawyers, having himself granted immunity to prosecution while in office. Later, over drinks, we were talking about how thankfully something like that couldn’t happen here. Then we thought about the stolen presidential election, censored pages from Congressional investigative report, secret arrests of hundreds without due process, the EPA lying about the safety of air around Ground Zero after the attacks under pressure from the White House, the Patriot Act, Haliburton and, my personal favorite, still no leads in the anthrax murders.
I don’t mean to sound like a conspiracy theorist, it really is strange that the NY Times et al have never adequately investigated that gaping discrepancy that from the time of the first hijacking till the last plane crashed was well over an hour and yet the Air Force never got off the ground to intervene…
The shock of the thing has finally worn off enough that I’m ready to start being a cranky liberal again. I think I’m going to celebrate the two-year anniversary by subscribing the The Nation.

You can be designated an enemy combatant for aiding and abbetting the enemy in war time for posing a question you published in your August 23, 2003 blog: Unanswered Questions…
You need not be guilty of a crime to be designated an enemy combatant… do not investigate further. Do not ask any questions about building 7 or the “military stand down”
on 9/11.
If, however, you persist in your query send your conclusions to
