		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Comrades Bravo!&lt;/strong&gt;

These traitors at ABC are betrayers of our new mother land. Where I come from, this Robert A. Iger would be dragged through the streets in front of the tomb of our glorious leader Vladimir Lenin and shot in public. The producers, directors, writers and anyone associated with this propaganda would be picked up in the early hours of the morning by our State Security Chief Lavrenty Beria (The Black Hand) and taken to a Siberian labor camp never too be heard from again.

For many years I have been loyal to ABC and the Pravda (truth) that our Socialist Liberal ally has put forth in order to progress our ultimate goal; the decline and absolute destruction of America and the capitalist traitorous pigâ€™s like ABC.

I ask you Mr. Robert A. Iger, â€œHave you no shame Sirâ€?

Comrades, we must not give up the fight. It has taken us many years to groom you and your elected leaders.

Remember what our great leader Nikita Khrushchev said:

â€œ We can&#039;t expect the American People to jump from Capitalism to Communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving them small doses of Socialism, until they awaken one day to find that they have Communism &quot;

Itâ€™s more important now then ever before that we stand together and stay focused!  We can not allow this abomination of propaganda to go forward.

We must do whatever it takes to keep this film from airing on Sunday the 10th, 2006, we only have a few hours left.

It is your duty as loyal Liberal Socialist Democrats to rise up in solidarity and put a stop to this immediately!

Senator Harry Reid, one of our courageous and distinguished Senatorial leaders from the state of Nevada, reminded the capitalist traitorous pigs at ABC of their license from the FCC.  Please Senator Reid, weâ€™re your loyal comrades in arms and begging you to use all the glorious power you possess.  You must stop this film!  You must push forward with an iron fist and crush this despicable display of propaganda.

If this film isnâ€™t stopped from airing on ABC, Sunday night, Iâ€™m afraid all our efforts since the cold war and the aspirations of our great leaders from glorious years past and Nikita Khrushchevâ€™s dreams and predictions will have been lost.

If we loose now, the great Liberal Socialist Democratic Party, we have nurtured, will decline into the ash heaps of history never too be heard from again. 

You must!.... I repeat, you must contact our comrades in arms at their offices in Washington.

Now Iâ€™ve done all the work all you have to do is contact our comrades below by e-mail or call:

		<description>Two main ideas come to mind after the intoxicating developments as a result of ABC&#039;s (continued) attempt to politicize 9/11:

One, and perhaps the oldest trick with this un-American group of people, the so-called &quot;Conservatives&quot;, is that they have been, for several decades now, slamming the &quot;Liberal Media&quot;; the Media either disagrees with their unconscionable actions, or doesnâ€™t cover enough of their side of the story. This de-bunked myth of Liberal media, has now swung way to the extreme right, and is under the control of this very group who continues to label anything they don&#039;t like - &quot;Liberal&quot;. Remember ... â€œyou&#039;re either with me or you&#039;re against meâ€ (i.e. the enemy).

It dawned on me, finally, that with their tactics: lying, smearing, hate mongering, division, us vs. them, corruption and the most villainous ways of survival and power-grab, that it is no wonder they were ostracized by the Media and the majority of society, and have felt like they have to own all the means of mass media communications in order to â€œcatapult their propagandaâ€ as W once said.

So in the most relentless campaign to control the American way of life, unfortunately, and through every possible means, a Machiavellian way of the end justifies the means, and through immense masses of money, they have managed to bamboozle millions of ignorant followers. As is the case with every destructive cult, so has the GOP, which has nothing Grand about it as far as Iâ€™m concerned; Except for Fraud in a Grand way.

Secondly, as part of the same venal group of so called â€œConservativesâ€, is the so called â€œChristian â€“ Evangelicalsâ€. 

You canâ€™t help question how the most vicious attack dogs can call themselves Christians. People like Jack Abramhof (indicted criminal) , Tom DeLay (Indicted &amp; II Greatest threat in the US Senate), Newt Gingrich (I Greatest threat in the US Senate), James Dobson, Pat Robertson, Randy Cunningham (Indicted)  etcâ€¦ the entire arsenal of (millionaire) criminals. They are just simply un-Godly, not just un-Christian.

As it turns out, once again, the Evangelicals are behind this whole ABCâ€™s political-drama scandal.  Why !!

Never have they enjoyed themselves so much! Of course, with projects and outfits like Jack Abrhamof&#039;s K-Street Project revolving door, Faith-Based Initiatives, etcâ€¦ it is the perfect cornucopia. Mobsters and Government, now Church and Government, partners in crime, they both have corrupted each other.

So the conclusion they have helped us reach, &lt;em&gt;once again&lt;/em&gt;, is that they canâ€™t be trusted; neither Evangelicals nor Republicans (&quot;Conservatives&quot;). 
And they will pack up and go home this November.</description>

		<description>Here is the letter I sent to the NYTimes about this review:

Dear Editors:

I am writing about today&#039;s (9/8) piece by Alessandra Stanley&#039;s piece about the ABC miniseries &quot;The Path to 9/11.&quot;

I am a bit confused, I&#039;m afraid.

I had thought Ms. Stanley was a television critic -- perhaps the fact that the vast majority of articles you print by her are reviews of TV shows gave me that impression.

Yet in today&#039;s piece in the television section, Ms. Stanley reveals herself to apparently be a historian of recent events in the Middle East, on the war on terrorism, and on the inner workings of the Clinton Administration.  This is fascinating.  A number of the statements she so confidently makes in the piece in fact helpfully explain for Times readers just how they should think about foreign policy errors of the Clinton Administration in comparison with those of the Bush Administration.

Given that Ms. Stanley offers no evidence or grounds for what are her most extraordinary assertions in the article, I think it is incumbent on you to give her more room -- perhaps on the front page of the main section, since she apparently knows the truth far better than, say, any of your foreign policy experts -- to elaborate and expound on her revelations.

I especially urge this as Ms. Stanley, in addition to knowing everything there is to know about the hunt for Al Quaeda, also apparently has the gift of clairvoyance, as she fearlessly makes assertions about how any possible future miniseries about the current Iraq conflict will turn out.

I can only, dumfounded, ask you, &quot;Why have you been hiding Ms. Stanley&#039;s psychic gifts and her broad-ranging knowledge away on the TV page?!&quot;  For shame!   Clearly, Ms. Stanley is the long-awaited for successor to Judith Miller and HER proud tradition of assertion-based journalism unencumbered by distractions like facts.

I look forward to future examples of Times&#039; writers/reporters weighing in on topics heretofore seen as lying far outside their beats.  I am sure, for example, the Sports staff will have some terrific insights into the Korean missile crisis, just as I suspect the people over in Real Estate will illuminate the Darfur conflict for readers who have until now had a hard time of keeping all the players in that tragedy clear.   And I can hardly contain myself in expectation of your crossword puzzle maker Will Shortz taking control of the Editorial pages!

You know, earlier this summer when the film critic for your tabloid rival (&quot;rival&quot; only in the sense that you are both New York City dailies, of course -- no comparison with their laughably dogmatic bias is intended whatsoever) the New York Post instead of discussing AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH in his review of that film proceeded to explain to Post readers that global warming is a liberal myth, tens of thousands of scientists be damned, I thought to myself, &quot;How bold and iconoclastic of the Post to have a MOVIE reviewer summarize climate change in a dismissive sentence or two, despite the fact that he is not a meteorologist himself.  If only the nation&#039;s paper of record would similarly embrace &#039;boundarylessness&#039;.&quot;    Well, you have truly surprised me -- you really are emulating the Post now!  I am sure Rupert Murdoch is secretly tickled pink at the influence he has had on you, without even having to take you over!

In the meantime, since Ms. Stanley has apparently decided to cover both foreign policy and political news in her TV columns, maybe you should hire somebody else to actually review TV shows.  I believe a former employee of yours, Jayson Blair, is currently seeking employment.  Trust me when I say that I am confident I am far from the only person to believe that Mr. Blair has as much business -- and will be as knowledgeable -- reviewing network programming as Ms. Stanley does explaining recent history to the rest of us.

Very sincerely,

Daniel Baig</description>

I haven&#039;t changed my mind on anything.  I&#039;ve always been against Bush&#039;s handling of 9/11, I just refuse to support the outrageous theories that are not based on the reality of building design (Loose Change, Inside Job stuff, etc).

Now, just leave me alone katy.  I don&#039;t know why you are unable to control yourself and stay away from me like I&#039;ve asked you to do, but try harder.  I am not interested in anything you have to say to me.  Please just accept that and leave me alone.</description>

TV REVIEW &#124; &#039;STOLEN HONOR&#039; 
An Outpouring of Pain, Channeled via Politics
By ALESSANDRA STANLEY
 
tolen Honor: Wounds That Never Heal,&quot; the highly contested anti-Kerry documentary, should not be shown by the Sinclair Broadcast Group. It should be shown in its entirety on all the networks, cable stations and on public television. 

This histrionic, often specious and deeply sad film does not do much more damage to Senator John Kerry&#039;s reputation than have the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth&#039;s negative ads, which have flooded television markets in almost every swing state. But it does help viewers better understand the rage fueling the unhappy band of brothers who oppose Mr. Kerry&#039;s candidacy and his claim to heroism. 

Sinclair, the nation&#039;s largest television station group, reaching about a quarter of United States television households, backed down this week and announced that it would use only excerpts from the 42-minute film as part of an hourlong news program about political use of the media, &quot;A P.O.W. Story: Politics, Pressure and the Media.&#039;&#039; That&#039;s too bad: what is most enlightening about this film is not the depiction of Mr. Kerry as a traitor; it is the testimony of the former P.O.W.&#039;s describing the torture they endured in captivity and the shock they felt when celebrities like Jane Fonda and Tom Hayden visited their prisons in North Vietnam and sided with the enemy. 

The former prisoners - now old and graying - are not just talking about their sense of betrayal by fellow Americans. They also seize the Kerry candidacy as a chance to recall their experiences: the kinds of torture they endured and the ruses they invented like tap-code communication between cells to boost morale. Illustrated with black-and-white film clips of prisoners in the &quot;Hanoi Hilton&quot; and sepia-toned re-enactments of starving men being led through dank, dark prison corridors, those recollections resemble the slow-paced, detailed documentaries that fill the History Channel. 

But the History Channel tends to focus on the heroic moments of World Wars I and II. The Vietnam War is almost always revisited through its moral and strategic ambiguities and its effect on American society in the 1960&#039;s and 70&#039;s.

This film is payback time, a chance to punish one of the most famous antiwar activists, Mr. Kerry, the one who got credit for serving with distinction in combat, then, through the eyes of the veterans in this film, went home to discredit the men left behind. The film begins with dirgelike music and a scary black-and-white montage of stark images of soldiers and prisoners as a deep voice sorrowfully intones, &quot;In other wars, when captured soldiers were subjected to the hell of enemy prisons, they were considered heroes.&quot; The narrator adds, &quot;In Vietnam they were betrayed.&quot; 

The imagery is crude, but powerful: each mention of Mr. Kerry&#039;s early 1970&#039;s meeting with North Vietnamese government officials in Paris is illustrated with an old black-and-white still shot of the Arc de Triomphe, an image that to many viewers evokes the Nazi occupation of Paris. The Eiffel Tower would have been more neutral, but the film is not: it insists that Mr. Kerry &quot;met secretly in an undisclosed location with a top enemy diplomat.&quot; Actually, Mr. Kerry, a leading antiwar activist at the time, mentioned it in testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in 1971. 

The film&#039;s producer, Carlton Sherwood, a former investigative reporter and a Vietnam veteran, gives his own testimony, explaining that even though he has uncovered all kinds of misdeeds in his career, the history of Mr. Kerry&#039;s antiwar activism is &quot;a lot more personal.&#039;&#039; He recalls listening to Mr. Kerry&#039;s testimony in 1971, saying, &quot;I felt an inner hurt no surgeon&#039;s scalpel could remove.&#039;&#039; 

That pain is the main theme of the documentary, which can be seen in its entirety on the Internet for $4.99. One former P.O.W., John Warner, lashes out at Mr. Kerry for having coaxed Mr. Warner&#039;s mother to testify at the Winter Soldier Investigation, where disgruntled veterans testified to war crimes they committed. Calling it a &quot;contemptible act,&quot; Mr. Warner, who spent more than five years as a prisoner, tells the camera that Mr. Kerry was the kind of man who preyed on a mother&#039;s grief &quot;purely for the promotion of your own political agenda.&quot;

The documentary shows Mr. Kerry&#039;s 1971 Senate testimony, in which he famously reported that fellow soldiers had &quot;cut off ears,&quot; among other atrocities. But the filmmakers were not able to dig up more indicting material from homemade movies or news clips from the era. The picture from an antiwar demonstration, where Mr. Kerry stood a few rows behind Ms. Fonda, is blown up portentously, but there are no shots of them together. The only candid shot of Mr. Kerry gathering material for the Winter Soldier hearings shows him solicitously asking a veteran why he felt the need to speak. 

Instead, the film shows lesser-known young, long-haired antiwar activists preparing witnesses to testify to war crimes. In the film these men seem to be prompting a fellow veteran to describe a massacre he did not witness. But one of the veterans, Kenneth J. Campbell, a decorated marine who is now a professor at the University of Delaware, recently sued the filmmakers, claiming the film was edited to take out clips in which Mr. Campbell made clear that only soldiers who witnessed the atrocities firsthand would be allowed to testify. 

Those kinds of distortions are intended to hurt Mr. Kerry at the polls. Instead, they mainly distract viewers from the real subject of the film: the veterans&#039; unheeded feelings of betrayal and neglect.

Stolen Honor: Wounds That Never Heal

Excerpts from this program will be shown on various stations, but not in the New York metropolitan area; elsewhere check local listings. The entire program can be seen on the Internet on a pay-for-view basis and its audio can be downloaded online, both at www.stolenhonor.com.

Story: Politics, Pressure and the Media.&#8221; That&#8217;s too bad: what is most enlightening about this film is not the depiction of Mr. Kerry as a traitor; it is the testimony of the former P.O.W.&#8217;s describing the torture they endured in captivity and the shock they felt when celebrities like Jane Fonda and Tom Hayden visited their prisons in North Vietnam and sided with the enemy. </p>
<p>The former prisoners &#8211; now old and graying &#8211; are not just talking about their sense of betrayal by fellow Americans. They also seize the Kerry candidacy as a chance to recall their experiences: the kinds of torture they endured and the ruses they invented like tap-code communication between cells to boost morale. Illustrated with black-and-white film clips of prisoners in the &#8220;Hanoi Hilton&#8221; and sepia-toned re-enactments of starving men being led through dank, dark prison corridors, those recollections resemble the slow-paced, detailed documentaries that fill the History Channel. </p>
<p>But the History Channel tends to focus on the heroic moments of World Wars I and II. The Vietnam War is almost always revisited through its moral and strategic ambiguities and its effect on American society in the 1960&#8217;s and 70&#8217;s.</p>
<p>This film is payback time, a chance to punish one of the most famous antiwar activists, Mr. Kerry, the one who got credit for serving with distinction in combat, then, through the eyes of the veterans in this film, went home to discredit the men left behind. The film begins with dirgelike music and a scary black-and-white montage of stark images of soldiers and prisoners as a deep voice sorrowfully intones, &#8220;In other wars, when captured soldiers were subjected to the hell of enemy prisons, they were considered heroes.&#8221; The narrator adds, &#8220;In Vietnam they were betrayed.&#8221; </p>
<p>The imagery is crude, but powerful: each mention of Mr. Kerry&#8217;s early 1970&#8217;s meeting with North Vietnamese government officials in Paris is illustrated with an old black-and-white still shot of the Arc de Triomphe, an image that to many viewers evokes the Nazi occupation of Paris. The Eiffel Tower would have been more neutral, but the film is not: it insists that Mr. Kerry &#8220;met secretly in an undisclosed location with a top enemy diplomat.&#8221; Actually, Mr. Kerry, a leading antiwar activist at the time, mentioned it in testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in 1971. </p>
<p>The film&#8217;s producer, Carlton Sherwood, a former investigative reporter and a Vietnam veteran, gives his own testimony, explaining that even though he has uncovered all kinds of misdeeds in his career, the history of Mr. Kerry&#8217;s antiwar activism is &#8220;a lot more personal.&#8221; He recalls listening to Mr. Kerry&#8217;s testimony in 1971, saying, &#8220;I felt an inner hurt no surgeon&#8217;s scalpel could remove.&#8221; </p>
<p>That pain is the main theme of the documentary, which can be seen in its entirety on the Internet for $4.99. One former P.O.W., John Warner, lashes out at Mr. Kerry for having coaxed Mr. Warner&#8217;s mother to testify at the Winter Soldier Investigation, where disgruntled veterans testified to war crimes they committed. Calling it a &#8220;contemptible act,&#8221; Mr. Warner, who spent more than five years as a prisoner, tells the camera that Mr. Kerry was the kind of man who preyed on a mother&#8217;s grief &#8220;purely for the promotion of your own political agenda.&#8221;</p>
<p>The documentary shows Mr. Kerry&#8217;s 1971 Senate testimony, in which he famously reported that fellow soldiers had &#8220;cut off ears,&#8221; among other atrocities. But the filmmakers were not able to dig up more indicting material from homemade movies or news clips from the era. The picture from an antiwar demonstration, where Mr. Kerry stood a few rows behind Ms. Fonda, is blown up portentously, but there are no shots of them together. The only candid shot of Mr. Kerry gathering material for the Winter Soldier hearings shows him solicitously asking a veteran why he felt the need to speak. </p>
<p>Instead, the film shows lesser-known young, long-haired antiwar activists preparing witnesses to testify to war crimes. In the film these men seem to be prompting a fellow veteran to describe a massacre he did not witness. But one of the veterans, Kenneth J. Campbell, a decorated marine who is now a professor at the University of Delaware, recently sued the filmmakers, claiming the film was edited to take out clips in which Mr. Campbell made clear that only soldiers who witnessed the atrocities firsthand would be allowed to testify. </p>
<p>Those kinds of distortions are intended to hurt Mr. Kerry at the polls. Instead, they mainly distract viewers from the real subject of the film: the veterans&#8217; unheeded feelings of betrayal and neglect.</p>

		<description>Dear Senator Mitchell,

I recently learned that you are Chair of the Disney Corporation.  I am distraught by the lack of objectivity in the upcoming &quot;Path to 911&quot; on ABC.  No, I have not seen the entire movie, but I have viewed fake scenes that have been objected to by the likes of Richard Ben-Viniste, Richard Clark, and President Clinton.  
 
As I remember 911, that was the day that Bush read &quot;My Pet Goat&quot; for several minutes after being told that our country was under attack.  It was also the day that we, the public, did not know were our president was for many hours.  I also remember when Clinton ordered the attacks on Bin Laden and as I commuted home from work, thinking, like many, that he was playing &quot;Wag the Dog&quot;...only years later realizing that the strike was important, if ineffectual.
 
I also remember your work in the Senate and in Ireland.  Accomplishments that bring honor to our political class.
 
Please, Senator Mitchell, don&#039;t let this horrific lie take place.  It seems that hoaxes and &quot;truthiness&quot; have become the coin of the realm in our political discourse today.  Many people still believe that Saddam Hussein ordered the attacks on 911.  Others believe that John Kerry lied about his Vietnam experience and that John McCain has a black illegitimate child.  I am sick of the lying.
 
Please stand up for the truth, as I know from your own history that you believe in it.</description>
