Show your support against ignorance!<\/li>\n<li>The FBI has uncovered evidence that September 22nd may be another potential day of terrorist attacks.  They got this from many of the suspects nailed recently. Off the record, I hear from insiders that some of them are &#8220;singing like canaries&#8221; against Osama bin Laden, Iraq, other terrorists, Al-Qaeda&#8230;and giving a lot of crucial information about future attacks, hideouts, and strategic layouts&#8230;While I&#8217;m extremely grateful, there will be no &#8220;Black-eyed virgins waiting for these guys in Heaven&#8221; now. Uh&#8230;you dudes *DO* realize that, right?\n<p>Please be careful tomorrow, y&#8217;all&#8230;..<\/li>\n<li>I think it&#8217;s time to put the wraps on America Under Attack.  It&#8217;s definitely the calm before the storm, and unless any further events unfold&#8230;  We&#8217;ll all be bracing ourselves for <strong>Operation: Infinite Justice<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>I&#8217;ll also be taking this time to finish writing my account of the recent events in <strong>Ground Zero: The Untold Stories<\/strong>.  Ever wonder how a newspaper operates when a story bigger than <em>Pearl Harbor<\/em> and <em>Titanic<\/em> combined unfolds right in front of you?  STAY TUNED.It&#8217;ll also feature first-hand accounts by many of my friends who were right there in the thick of it (of course submissions are always welcome&#8230;).\n<p>It&#8217;ll be here at SoApBoX, and then eventually be moved to its new home at Remember 9-11.<\/p>\n<p>It may or may not feature a chilling, non-fictional chapter called &#8220;<strong>My name is Maria<\/strong>&#8220;, about a woman who graphically describes buried alive.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m still mulling over this, as I feel there were plenty of powerful true stories out there.  Last week, it *definitely* would have been in bad taste&#8230;.  however, there&#8217;s plenty of legend and folklore circulating around this tragedy already (Satan&#8217;s Face, Nostradamus, the cop surfing down, the firemen in the SUV)&#8230; and I feel there will be more as the years roll by.  If I include it&#8230; there will be a stern <strong>***READ AT YOUR OWN RISK***<\/strong> warning on it, I promise.<\/p>\n<p>One of the people who told me their tale also has up-close and gruesome photos of the carnage at Ground Zero. I&#8217;m not sure how many I would be comfortable posting&#8230; but I do want America to remember what happened to us, and I want us to stay angry and supportive of military action.<\/li>\n<p><strong>Crucial Reads for America:<\/strong><\/p>\n<li><strong>Truth or Consequences &#8211; By William Saletan<\/strong> &#8211; Currently we&#8217;re all feeling a form of &#8220;survivor&#8217;s guilt&#8221;, or are our heads being played with by our enemies&#8230;? It&#8217;s a A REAL EYE-OPENER!If we withdraw from the world and\/or change our foreign policy&#8230; then we have given the terrorists exactly what they set out to do.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stand Proud America!<\/strong> &#8211; In 1973, Canadian radio host <strong>Gordon Sinclair<\/strong> broadcast &#8220;The Americans&#8221;&#8230; showing support during an unpopular war amid great anti-American sentiment.
