Reign of Terror

Reading Reign of Terror and man, is it a good recounting of the 9/11 moments. Well, it actually mentions McVeigh and his white supremacy but also how our press (and even my view of him was not so KKKish) whitewashed all that to make him seem that he was merely against the gov [1]. It goes on. First there's the clarity that Bush ignored the threats of Al Qaeda, then were probably happy when everyone gave him a free pass. Then the pollution in NYC. We all have heard of the fire fighters etc, who had a lot of lung issues afterwards, but we don't hear about how Bush tried to claim the air was fine (and Giuliani as well) and thus led to this horrid situation. 
Like I said before. Lies on top of lies and all to make a few rich. 

On a lighter note, I recommend this Tales from Japan book. Solid tales if not a little grizzly. Not sure that it beats Calvino's Italian folktales or Malachite Casket , but it's up there. 
[1] I do know the right, as in the GOP, back then did not like this as it was too close to their views, but they were lucky that he wasn't called a white supremacist since that would have blown most of their cover.
