It's the most horrifying event

It's the most horrifying event I've witnessed in my lifetime. I still can't sleep, can't turn off the television. The personal
tragedies, stories from specific individuals, are starting to filter out, and these stories only heighten the sense of tragedy.

The terrorists must be looking at all this coverage, the panic on people's faces, and feeling victorious. Other than the plane that crashed in Pennsylvania, it appears their plans have succeeded in every way.

More from around the web:

The Boston Herald reports five men have been identified as suspects. Their rental car contained air flight training manuals. The article contains a lot more info about what went on inside some of the airplanes.

Henry Kissinger recommends Destroy the Network

An analysis of possible suspects and motives in Jane's Intelligence Digest. They identify likely suspects as:

  • Saddam Hussein


Contribute to the Red Cross--Amazon.com is waiving its usual fees, and already the Red Cross has received over $170,000 to aid in its efforts to help those in New York and Washington, D.C. Every time I hit refresh the total rises by several thousand. It's a heartwarming thing to witness.
