I second your ping.

This is unreal and totally disgusting!

He wanted a cushion? His sorry butt should have been wrapped in a pig carcass and buried years ago!

I was looking for a picture and found this link. I have not seen it before. Heartbreaking.

Complete 911 Timeline

(8:53 a.m.) September 11, 2001: NORAD Public Affairs Officer Calls Brother in WTC; Possibly Warns Him of Second Hijacked Plane

Adam Arias
[Source: US Air Force]Major Don Arias, the public affairs officer for NORAD, has just learned of the first WTC crash from television and a phone call from NEADS (see (8:38 a.m.-8:52 a.m.) September 11, 2001).

Alarmed because his younger brother works at the WTC, he calls him immediately. Adam Arias works for an investment company on the 84th floor of the South Tower. According to some accounts, Don Arias tells his brother that the aircraft that crashed into the North Tower was likely a hijacked plane that he has been informed of, and orders him to “Get out of there. Go home.” [Florida State Times, 11/2001; Newhouse News Service, 1/25/2002; Airman, 9/2002]

But according to Newsday, Don Arias tells his brother he has heard there is “another hijacked airliner and might be another attack.” [Newsday, 10/30/2001]

This would be consistent with an early NORAD timeline, which had the agency receiving notification of the second hijacking at 8:43 a.m. (see 8:43 a.m. September 11, 2001). However, later accounts, including the 9/11 Commission Report, will claim NORAD only hears of it around the time the plane hits the South Tower (see (9:03 a.m.) September 11, 2001).

Adam Arias reacts to his brother’s call with urgency, going around the floor exhorting people to leave, and physically throwing one woman out of her office. Several survivors will later credit him with saving their lives. [Newhouse News Service, 1/25/2002; Airman, 9/2002; Filson, 2003, pp. 124] Adam Arias will be killed when the South Tower collapses. [Seattle Post-Intelligencer, 9/9/2003]

We can't physically torture them, but we can endlessly expose them to our legal system.

One could argue that's a much higher level of cruelty...

Obama, you must never forget: residing at Guantanamo are confessed architects of 9/11.

He doesn't care. Give it up.

We got any Jack Bauer's out there?

After reading about all the abuse our soldiers endure by the prisoners at Gitmo, this garbage doesn't surprise me.

Wow. This is an incredible post. This should be in every newspaper in the country. But it won’t be.

Every time I think about those poor people at the WTC, sitting at their desks drinking coffee or making phone calls and examining their day’s work, and then suddenly engulfed in flames, crushed to death by their building, or dying slowly for days buried under it, I want to burst into tears. And the horrible, hideous, evil Muslims who did this to them are sitting there mocking them and mocking us.

Earlier, we had a President who started to get us justice but was too weak once the left-wing press began to attack; now we have a President who is on their side.

I think she’s being polite, because nobody could possibly think that Obama will do the right thing. Well, not the right thing from the American point of view, at least; from the Muslim point of view, I bet it will give Khalid yet another thing to smile about. I’m sure Khalid has been grinning for several days now.

Our problems with those at Guantanamo Bay and likewise with Israel’s problems and also problems with Iran and the rest of the Muslim nations are not going to be solved until we recognize that there is no solution to all this (in all its various facets) until we rid the world of Islam.

If you say (i.e., anyone says) it can’t be done, then be prepared for the “endless war with Islam” as a consequence...

Putin is executing innocent journalist in Russia merely because they report the truth. In America, we can’t seem to execute terrorist that are sitting in a court admitting guilt. We are doomed to failure because we are choosing to ignore history.

American in Nov 4,2008 forgot about Sept 11,2001. We now live in a Sept 10th world again. Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.

Let the terrorist Islamists know that they will be buried with swine. Then do it, very publicly, every time. It will work.

Why the hell did President Bush dillydally on this matter? During WWII we meted out swift justice to Nazi spies and saboteurs.

I’m not sure which is stronger: the stomach-clenching queasiness this gives me or the rage that it fills me with.
