Another e-mail:
Less than 24 hours after the attack took place, Tom Clancy wants
Senator John Edwards to explain the exact details of how he thinks the
US should respond to the 9/11 attack? That is crazy. We didn’t even
know for sure who committed the attacks. Shouldn’t the response
depend on the perpertrator? (If the attackers were Russian terrorists,
would we have invaded Russia? What if they were part of a US militia?)
Sure, Edwards is a little vague, but Bush’s speech was vague too. It
tooks weeks for the administration to outline specific steps. Unless
Edwards was doing something crazy on video that I can’t get from the
transcript (sucking him thumb, or picking his nose perhaps) his
comments seem pretty reasonable considering the event that had taken
place that morning.
