While most of you have said some very moving things over the past 24 hours I
think that slamming someone for trying to help in the way they know best is

Aren't we supposed to be a "country of brothers"? Why shouldn't we utilize
this forum for finding information that might be pertinent? I'll bet that
our size far outreaches the CIA or FBI in sheer numbers and distance. We
won't have all the leads but maybe we can generate a few and then, here's
the catch, pass them along to the proper authorities.
I'm not suggesting that we all shouldn't give a few dollars and pints of
blood, but lets become a resource. Utilize your computer & analytical
talents to generate leads, listen to those around you, see if you remember
anything out of place over the last couple of weeks.
Sure, what's being proposed is beyond the game we've played. But you must
admit that the spirit is the same. We need to put the word out that America
won't stand for this kind of terrorism. Furthermore, wouldn't it be grand
to show that AVERAGE people stood up and did some digging to help our
federal services.
Ok, if the cloudmakers can rally around a movie and solve the puzzles of the puppetmasters, I think that with some effort we can solve this puzzle of who the...
