It Happened One Morning...

Events of the magnitude of the 9/11 attacks exert a powerful distortion on our sense of time. The emotions were too strong, too fast, too raw at first. But after a little time, some numbness comes--the event receding into mythic time as stories are shared, theories are constructed and argued out, positions and actions are taken, beliefs are formed and hardened. Now the actual facts of the day are covered in a patina of settled opinion and political posture. NCPR has just aired two full days of testimony by the important players in homeland security detailing what happened when to whom. What do you think? What do you belive--has it changed any? What next?
