Carrying a little stick and speaking loudly in Milwaukee

6.16.2004

The focus of today's news has now shifted to the revelation that 10 plane hijackings were planned. Reportedly, bin Laden scaled back the attack to 4 targets: the two World Trade Center towers, the Pentagon, and either the White House or the Capitol.

The staff statements from today are available on the 9-11 commission's website. You'll need Adobe Acrobat Reader to read them.

Meanwhile, we've had to divert troops from the hunt for bin Laden and the war in Afghanistan to Iraq. While the president decided to declare Afghanistan a victory in the war on terroism, much remains to be done there, and it's sad that it's become our forgotten war. By the way, Bush's declaring victory came a few hours after Karzai generated headlines pleading for the US to stay the course in Afghanistan. The media lapped it up, and the headlines went from a little sad to happy happy.
