Rocket Man, I found the Mark Steyn piece you posted last night frightening, and not just in the casual sort of way that most of his stuff frightens me. Steyn is saying that the stories about students at various schools in the New York area who had advance knowledge of the attacks on the World Trade Center are not just “urban legends.” He is saying that at least some of these stories have held up under investigation, but that the media is unwilling to pursue or publicize them. If this is true, and if the government is also not pursuing the matter, it brings to mine Bernard Lewis’ warning that anti-American Muslims become emboldened whenever we shy away from the truth about these kinds of issues.
