I was home in Seattle with my family between quarters, up in my room reading books, when my mother called up stairs saying New York had been hit. My first reaction was "OK, some son-of-a-bitch does not know what they have done". My family spent the day watching the news and going about things, there was nothing we could do except watch.

I began following Drudge, FR and Frontpage pretty heavily for the next few months. One thread on FR, I forget which one, had two posts I will always remember. The topic was Saudi Arabia. Someone asked: "I don't understand. Are they with us or the terrorists?"

The response was: "Neither. They are the terrorists".

I think FReepers named the terrorists before anyone else had the courage to. I’ve been reading through some of the old threads. The shock still feels raw.
