New The shock...
It's more than a terrorist attack -- it's an extraordinarily successful product launch. The shock fits.

New And the New Product Is...
A Holy War against the Evil Empire known as the United States?

I'm sorry but I think several strongholds of Extreme Muslim religion are about to pounded into grains of dust, similar to what was falling off of the WTC.

FYI, Bush made a stop in Barksdale (near Shreveport, LA), home of our B52 bomber wing on the way to his undisclosed location.

I hope it was a coincidence, but it probably isn't.

New I don't know what it is
Maybe I'm sick, but it felt a little like a blitz product launch. Multiple locations, big names, familiar images, mindboggling implications. I wonder how much of what really happened we'll ever know?

New What really happened...
We KNOW what really happened. The U.S. was attacked. What we don't know is the why or by whom.

New That much we know
This thing is too big for me to grasp. I'm not suggesting coverups cabals and conspiracies internal, just the usual reserving of information by both sides in the interest of security. "The first casualty of war is truth".

This is how my dad (then a young teen in Rome) describes hearing about the invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941: when the radio first reported the declaration of war, my grandfather said "we just lost the war". There were no bullettins for a week or ten days, and then the german high command issued a list of captured cities, personnel, and materiel -- and everyone was in awe at how huge those gains had been and the feeling crept in that the Germans might have a chance after all. After the war, my dad bought several military history books to finally find out how things had actually gone.
