I just remember being 12 at the time in my science class with ms dodge who had just come back from kemotherapy (she died a year latter during my first year of high school, we had already lost our vietnam vet history teacher mr santos to a heart attack that year) and seeing the vid of it on the news thinking it looked like a bit from a movie

after watching the investigation of it that night and the shots of logan airport (where one of the planes came from) I remembered reading the CIA are 99% sure it was the taliban I lost interest, it was all about 911 for the rest of the month even after they'd figured out who did it so natuarally being 12 I just wanted them to go back to regular tv.

and after I latter learned that the CIA knew about these terror cells, were watching them and didn't do a fucking thing to stop them the first line of thought that came into my head was:
YOU KNEW THEY WERE UP TO SOMETHING BAD AND YOU DIDN"T STOP THEM BECAUSE YOU WEREN'T SURE WHAT THEY WERE GOING TO DO?
A THOUSAND PEOPLE JUST LOST THERE LIVES BECAUSE OF YOUR FUCKING STUPIDITY!!!! JESUS FUCKIGN CHRIST SO MUCH FOR TRUSING THE GOVERMENT WITH YOUR SAFTEY

ever since then I have been verry critical about the war on terror and everything they've done since then.
