An Open Letter to Dick Cheney on the Anniversary of My Daughter's Murder:

By Donna Marsh O'Connor

Thank you for warning me about my vote for John Kerry. In this version of America, the one you all have crafted, clarity is very difficult to come by. Let me make myself perfectly clear: my daughter was murdered on 9/11/2001, on an absolutely clear, late summer morning. She was four months pregnant and, that morning, five minutes after the first of two planes hit the World Trade Center, she was told she was "safe." She was told to "stay at her desk." She was found whole and intact ten feet from an alley between Towers IV and V. I cannot tell you how I would have appreciated such a clear warning before September 11th, or even on September 11th. Before that day, there were warnings, clear warnings, but they only reached the desk of George W. Bush. And I note he did nothing to stop the events of 9/11.

Nothing.

Read the rest here

1. An amazing letter!
If only Cheney would read and respond. Guess what I'm betting?

Thanks for sharing this, and welcome to DU.

Bush MUST go!!

1) You have my deepest sympathy, but don't wait with your hand over your butt for a response from Snarl, because he'll only tell you to "Go F*** yourself!"

6. Clarification
Just to clarify, that article isn't by me. It is an article carried at Impeachment by the People
