Take a break from what you've been doing...

...and read this.

It's the executive summary of the 9/11 Commission's report.

I'm only on page 2 myself at this moment, but I'm already inspired and profoundly moved to be reading what I'm reading.

This is a brutally honest document that is plainly, calmly, and honestly describing why we were attacked on September 11. I have not heard mainstream politicians of any ilk describe 9/11 with such apolitical honesty before, and the fact that these words are coming from a bi-partisan commission formed by our government is very meaningful to me.

Reading this makes me proud to be an American, and hopeful that it's not too late to put aside the rampant, ignorant, inflammatory bullshit that has been espoused by many in our government in the name of September 11.

Now, back to the report, and I urge you to go there as well.
