For two hours, truth once again became a virtue in Washington, DC. The second-annual Ron Ridenhour Awards--sponsored by the Fertel Foundation and The Nation Institute and named after the whistle-blower who exposed the My Lai massacre in Vietnam--honored New Yorker reporter Seymour Hersh, author Adrian Nicole LeBlanc and housewife-turned-activist Kristin Breitweiser for their achievements in "truth-telling." Breitweiser found herself widowed at age thirty when her husband Ron died at Tower Two of the World Trade Center on September 11. Along with four other widows (nicknamed the "Jersey Girls"), Breitweiser fought tirelessly for the 9/11 Commission, in spite of initial opposition from President Bush, whom she voted for in 2000. Below is a transcript of her remarks on April 19, 2005, a clear-headed, compelling and scathing indictment of how the Bush Administration has changed our post-9/11 world for the worse. "I am honored to accept the Ridenhour Truth Award and I accept it on behalf of all men, women and children who have sought Truth in their lives, including the four women---Mindy Kleinberg, Lorie Van Auken, Patty Casazza, and Monica Gabrielle--who fought along with me to seek the truth about 9/11. I am humbled by the ceremony of this award, and I accept it also in honor of my late husband, Ron Breitweiser.

How many 911 'widows' and widowers are there? Must be in the thousands. Yet Breitweiser and the other Musketeers get all the press. Why is that I wonder......
I felt compelled to find stuff she's said. I found a Huffington Post thing she wrote too. They are not just suffering widows. Some of the stuff she says sounds just like what Osama & Michael Moore have said. She is way out there. Even suggested the death penalty for govt officials (serach for her last name in keywords)...
Kristen and the other Wisches of Eastwick need to off and follow Cindy Sheehan around and just be done with it.
We all know where you stand, ladies. And I use that term loosely.
