If the result is clearly validating, I'd press the point with the usual culrpits, but broaden it to: 1. every interest group that suffered from terrorism: bereaved military families, 9/11 victims, and those cited in the above article. 2. those officials who hold positions of trust and authority who fail to question or to act. 3. the press (standards for reporting?), a session at the National Press Club? Shame on those who lie, or fail to tell the complete truth -- a widespread situation today in other respects as well. Please continue to speak truth to power.
