Aren't you ever shocked at the short memory span of your average American??

I love how media talkingheads say how the prison story is going to make Muslims mad at us. They slaughtered over 3000 of our citizens and then danced in the street in celebration before a single prison nudie pic was ever shot!!!

Kind of like Ellis Henican on FNC a week ago complaining that Bush "irritated our enemies" by "invading Iraq." Uhm... they were ALREADY irritated, Ellis! Or did you think 9-11 was a dream?

This past anniversary of 9/11 PBS had a British produced documentary, where they interviewed eyewitnesses to the carnage.
Most had stories I had not heard before and many could not get through their recollections, without choking up.
One stock broker recounted what he saw in the courtyard, as he was fleeing the building.
The Port Authority police instructed the stream of people running out, to keep going and " not look right."
He said that human nature being what it was-he looked right.
The image that still haunts him is not the broken and charred and decapitated bodies, some still strapped in their airline seats.
The image that will remain with him forever, is that of a pregnant woman hitting the concrete, just as he looked over.
He said at that moment of impact, she ruptured " like a watermelon " and he could see the infant attached to the the umbilical cord, fly out.
And then he started to cry.
I imagine he would trade that image with that of a naked Iraqi wearing panties on his head, anyday.
The New York media has an entire photo morgue of 9/11 pictures so horrific, they refuse to release them.
And yet knowing that they have censored photos of 9/11 that could cause some to have nightmares for the rest of their lives, they continue to call the prison photos that we have seen so far- a " catastrophe ," a " disaster " and " atrocities ."
