The Angry 9/11 Families

"Falsehood is never so successful as when she baits her hook with truth, and no opinions so fatally mislead us as those that are not wholly wrong; as no watches so effectually deceive the wearer as those that are sometimes right."

  -Charles C. Colton (1780-1832), English author & clergyman

I'm back, but holding my breath everytime I touch my keyboard. Locked in DOS, wielding a Windows StartUp Disk, and editing my Registry are not my idea of fun, but I survived. Let's see if my "fixes" do. I appreciate the encouragement I received from those who visit my blog.

Last week, Bush's campaign ads, which included some footage of the 9/11 attack, reportedly came under fire from families of the victims of the tragedy. When I heard this on the news, it surprised me.  If a member of my family had been murdered in the 9/11 attack, I would be encouraging all of our leaders to constantly remind us of what happened on that terrible morning. To me, it was a historically defining moment for our country--one that should be an example of how vulnerable we are and how vigilant we must be as we go forward, one we should never allow ourselves to forget.

As it turns out, there was more to this story than initially met the eye. Glenn Reynolds at InstaPundit has written a lengthy post delving into the ins and outs of the reporting that took place. Glenn uses many links in his coverage, but I enjoyed the one to Tom Perry at Isntapundit the most. Tom reveals the backgrounds of many of the complainers with surprising results. Take a look. It may be interesting to you too.

I'm to the point that I'm believing hardly anything can be taken at face value anymore, especially if the media or politicians are involved.
