[Vision2020] Lies, Ports, and Saudi Arabia Yet Again!

[Joan Opyr]

Hi Ted,

I'll append your additional observations to your original post, and read 
snippets of the articles you cite below. The reason I asked your 
permission is because I did, in fact, want your blessing. And you are 
thorough; you cite evidence to back up your assertions, which is a good 
deal more than I'm generally willing to do on this free and public forum. 
It feels like . . . work.

I'd like to issue a public, anytime invitation to you to call in to KRFP 
(892-9200) during the show or to stop by the studio when we're on the air, 
grab a mic, and sit down and talk. Carl and I will be dealing with this 
issue next Sunday, and we'd love to have you there. We don't usually do 
callers (though we do enjoy the rare guest), but what you have to say is 
reasoned and interesting, a nice counterpoint to our "unfair and 
unbalanced."

I have read the 9/11 Commission's Report, as published, and I'm familiar 
with the ongoing concerns of (many of) the 9/11 families. Our government 
has done an extraordinarily poor job of incorporating those concerns and 
the report's recommendations into actual practice. While billions are 
fiddled away in Iraq, home burns.
