The air was thick with outrage. I saw the cars stop from the pelting. Unheard of that they got aways with it... Americans were not fooled, most of them. With all the scandals from his friends coming out, I thought Bush would not last a year until 911 and then he was golden in the media. Then they were cheering the wars and pumping up neo-cons. Now we see none of these characters, except in their protected circles in media and private organizations. For the most part, they have slunk off to undisclosed locations to enjoy their plunder.
