September 11th

Why this lifelong Republican may vote for Obama Why this lifelong Republican may vote for Obama

The party of Bush and McCain outsourced the hunt for bin Laden, failing to accomplish a vital mission since 9/11.
  • McCain camp broke 9/11 truce

    Despite a pledge not to campaign as normal, John McCain released a new attack ad; unsurprisingly, it's filled with distortions.
  • The failure of Bush policy post-9/11

    The "global war on terror" is over -- and we lost.
  • The souls of young Muslim folk

    What it's like to be America's new "problem" in the age of terror.
  • Terror and loathing

    Martin Amis may not know much about Islam and 9/11, but he knows what he hates.
  • Quote of the day

    Barack Obama's response to Republicans' using 9/11 as a political weapon against him? Bring it on.
  • Of war and cancer

    Five years after Bush invaded Iraq, anti-Americanism has metastasized. But we can still beat it.
  • McCain apes Bush on Iraq, as Dems stand passively by

    His hard-liner stance should doom McCain with most voters, but unless Democrats put the war back on top of the national agenda, he might get away with it.
  • Quote of the day

    Rudy Giuliani says he isn't worried about the state of his presidential campaign -- guess why?
  • Most Dems no better than Bush on Pakistan

    The Bush administration's bungling in Pakistan and Afghanistan has led to a resurgent Taliban and al-Qaida and loss of U.S. influence in the region. But Democrats did little to stop it.
  • Rudy's past coming back with a vengeance

    Two groups are mobilizing anew against Rudy Giuliani, hoping to inform voters about some of the skeletons in his closet.
  • The poisonous rhetorical legacy of Karl Rove

    Even Fox's Chris Wallace wants to know why Bush's newly departed advisor had to paint Democrats as traitors.
  • After 9/11, Rudy wasn't a rescue worker -- he was a Yankee

    Giuliani said he spent as much time at ground zero as many rescue workers. Where was he really? Much of the time, at baseball games.
  • America under surveillance

    Granted new power to spy inside the U.S., the Bush administration may be doing more than eavesdropping on phone calls -- it could be watching suspects' every move.
  • What an anti-Giuliani ad should say

    Forget his messy personal life. Democrats should go right at his supposed strength -- 9/11 -- the same way Republicans attacked John Kerry's Vietnam service.
  • The reason we haven't noticed American Muslims condemning terrorism

    Actually, they do, but until recently it was often in ways that their fellow Americans had a hard time hearing.
  • Stock market mayhem: "Look out below!"

    The last time Wall Street shuddered like this, we knew the reason why: Sept. 11. This time, it's not so easy to figure out.
  • "Conspiracy 911"

    New short from the creator of "Spiders on Drugs."
  • What we lost

    Almost 3,000 Americans died on Sept. 11, 2001. But our losses are still mounting -- in Iraq and at home -- thanks to the bullying, big-lie culture that dominates American politics today.
  • The Sept. 11 that never was

    ABC's docudrama "The Path to 9/11" is a false version of history. It popularizes right-wing myths by exaggerating Clinton's failures and Bush's successes, depicting events that never happened.
  • Terminal frustration

    Is air travel safer since 9/11? Yes, there have been some effective changes. But most of the so-called security measures have been irrational, wasteful and pointless. When will we learn?
  • Getting beyond our airport security obsession

    Confiscating corkscrews and tweezers didn't make us safer after Sept. 11. And banning liquids isn't going to make us safer now.
  • Ask the pilot

    In search of the ever-elusive "truth," the pilot takes on the 9/11 conspiracy theorists.
  • Bush's bogus document dump

    The administration seeded its new public archive of Iraq documents with jihadist materials completely unrelated to Saddam.
  • The world as we know it

    Deborah Eisenberg's wondrous "Twilight of the Superheroes" offers an intimate, glowing portrait of post-9/11 America.
