Editor's Note: Didn't this woman, what's her name, oh yeah, Stephanie Kraft, get the memo from HQ? When confronted with the laws of physics, you are supposed to deny, obfuscate, regurgitate, change the subject. How is the Empire supposed to maintain the status quo with rogues like her running amuck? And don't get me started with that physics smarty-pants Richard Gage. I'm not listening, I can't hear you, I'm not listening...

Impeachment calls against Leahy, anyone?  Or just ignore collaborators as irrelevant?

Wired today published the results of the Empire's democratic process, in which even the proceedings themselves were classified against the public.  'The public'... That's you.

And feel free to read our "September 2005" issue in our JOURNAL archive for some useful background on the attacks of September 11, 2001.

Year Number Eight.

He once signed a petition that suggested that "9/11 may have been an inside job."

Which is to say he agrees with most Americans in national polls re: the 9/11 "incident."

D'oh.

And now he's getting pressure from some well-placed politicos to step down.

I swear, you can't make this stuff up.

Editor’s Note: This month marks the eighth anniversary of the September 11, 2001, tragedy. During our first year of publication, Vermont Commons: Voices of Independence devoted our entire September issue to exploring unanswered questions surrounding the events of 9/11, and in subsequent years we have invited writers and scholars to critically consider the meaning of 9/11 in broader social and political contexts.
