For instance, what have you retained of the swirl of conflicts, tragedies and personalities that became common knowledge — or at least fodder for television talk shows — after 9/11?

billvon 3,120 #4 July 18, 2003 85%. Would have been 90% if not for semantics - the US now CAN hold people indefinitely without access to an attorney. It's unconstitutional (of course) but it is being done, therefore it can be done. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
