As everyone knows, you appeared in Public Session already. About two weeks ago and as much as i like listening to you, i was hopeful that we might have cooperation with the administration to the point where we could have at least two official witnesses who might help us develop for the American People, and the congress, the facts and policies of the about vietnam.

He published a series about three years after 911. The series was specifically on the fire department. It thought to talk about the decisions that happen that day and why folks went into the building. The firefighters had a level of casualties beyond the police department. He was a kid. People that loved him. We were the people that hated him. I came to regard the structure of individual life and the tragedy. It does not matter how other people commemorate that. How they observe that has nothing to do whether i have some level of empathy. Those are two simple things. I can talk about hypocrisy up one side and down the other. It does not improve me.

Whats hard about this for me, though, is how do you
The way that bush and cheney were able to exploit the horrors of 9 11 have not been totally investigated. The kinds of crimes that were justified of 9 11 which continue. Drone bombing in yemen is still linked to 9 11. 60 words in the authorization for the use of military force is justification for bombing people who were toddlers when 9 11 happened. We do live, its a cliche but we live in an existence in terms of how all of these things are justified.
