A grieving father and Will Pitt's book
DUers, would you help make sure Will sees this? I wanted to share it with you too.

"Reflections of a Grieving Father"

As September 11, 2003 approaches, I’m inclined to painfully reflect more deeply on the past two years. The heartfelt loss of my beautiful daughter, Alicia, on that fateful day has been unbearable as the pain consumes me daily. Yet somehow we trudge onward one day at a time toward an unknown future. Caring people often say to me, “I don’t know how you go on”. And there are times when I question whether or not I can go on. I yearn for release from the pain. ........


snip... There’s a book on the market by William Rivers Pitt entitled, “The Greatest Sedition is Silence”. I’ve ordered the book because the author has a way of smacking truth in the face of the lies and deceit that are used to justify an unjust war and the subsequent killing of thousands of innocent people. It is seditious and undemocratic to blindly accept the partial truths, the blatant lies and the overt deception without question that the Bush administration has inundated us with to justify taking away our basic civil rights as Americans, to justify the rush to war with Iraq for deceptive reasons and to cover up the truth about September 11 and the killing of my daughter… I want to know the truth! The families of the victim’s of September 11th deserve the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help us God! .............

3. Her dad sounds like a very good person.
I wonder what he thinks of the memorial bench put up in her hometown with the inscription a quotation from the dim son. (it's at the sweetalicia link)

7. if Bush Co. is ever to be held accountable
Edited on Fri Aug-01-03 08:00 PM by Minstrel Boy
for its high crimes, I think much of the credit will go to the justice-hungry loved ones of those who perished in them.
