Hijacked passengers ordered to call families
Passengers on board the airliners used in the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon were ordered by their captors to call relatives to say they were about to die. Among them were Barbara Olson, a TV commentator and wife of the Solicitor General. (09/12/01) <http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A14365-2001Sep11.html>
Survivors call for help from beneath rubble
As survivors buried under the rubble of New York City's World Trade Center use cell phones to call for help, rescue workers struggle to reach the living and pull them to safety. The death toll is unknown at this time. (09/12/01) <http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,34249,00.html>Flag and gun sales skyrocketing
Gun and flag sales peaked across Central Florida as defiant, fearful residents rushed to arm themselves Tuesday and display their patriotism. "It's a concentrated Y2K situation that started since we opened up this morning," said Khaled Akkawe, who sold more than 100 assault rifles and shotguns through his two Shoot Straight gun stores.

Just hours after what some commentators have dubbed a second Pearl Harbor, federal police reportedly increased internet surveillance. ISPs are reportedly quietly complying with FBI requests to monitor electronic communications.

Fearing blind anger in the wake of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, Muslim- and Arab-American leaders pleaded with the American public not to take out its anger on their communities. (09/12/01) <http://www.dallasnews.com/national/468938_12backlash.html>President Bush vows justice for the attacks
In the wake of the bloodiest terrorist attack in history, President Bush vowed that U.S. authorities will find those responsible for the attacks. He warned that the U.S. won't distinguish between those who committed the acts and those who protect them. (09/12/01) <http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,34227,00.html>http://www.foxnews. com/story/0,2933,34227,00.html
Early evidence points to Bin Laden
While the people behind the bloody attack on the United States have yet to be positively identified, the prime suspect is billionaire terrorist Osama bin Laden. U.S. intelligence intercepted communications between his supporters which acknowledged "a couple of targets were hit." (09/12/01) <http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,34181,00.html>Bin Laden happy over deadly strikes, but denies involvement
According to a Palestinian journalist who spoke with Osama bin Laden, the billionaire terrorist congratulated the people who carried out the deadly terrorist strikes in the United States, but denied that he was involved.

World braces for terror as U.S. attacks cast global chill
With the United States reeling from the deadly attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, people around the world more accustomed to terrorism, though not on this scale, stepped up security and wondered whether their cities might be next. (09/12/01) <http://www.abcnews.go.com/wire/World/ap20010912_455.html> ...Battle cry
by Deroy Murdock "American leaders and voters alike should be very careful about embracing measures today that will leave citizens less free in the long run in an effort to catch criminals in the here and now. The Bill of Rights must not collapse with the Twin Towers ... but they should feel no such restraint about retaliating against whatever group or nation perpetrated these acts of war." (09/11/01) <http://www.nationalreview.com/murdock/murdock091101.shtml>
Resisting hysteria
by Jesse Walker "This is a time for expert police work. It is a time when the intelligence community can try to make up for its disastrous failure to foresee this assault, by finding the people who did it and bringing them to rapid justice. It is not a time for unfocused ... hysteria." (09/12/01) <http://www.reason.com/hod/jw091201.html>The price of empire
by Alan Bock Americans fail to understand just how deeply hated the United States is in many parts of the world -- and hated by people ready and able to take desperate and ruthless actions. (09/12/01) <http://www.antiwar.com/bock/b091201.html>
Reaping the whirlwind
by Gene Callahan "Today's events should bring home a simple, clear message: It is time to stop the madness. It is time to refuse to lend any support to the ravaging of innocent lives in the world- domination games of the power-mad." (09/12/01) <http://www.lewrockwell.com/callahan/callahan54.html>
Wake up America!
by Richard Rieben "People are not their governments. But they are wrong to think that they will not bear the consequences for their governments' actions." (09/11/01) <http://www.tbns.net/kelly/articles/art24.html>Level-headed response to terrorism
by Steve Farrell "In the wake of the most terrible terrorist attack in this nation's history, every American would do well to insist that our nation's leaders prepare a strong response, and yet an intelligent one, one that punishes our enemies but protects our liberties." (09/12/01) <http://www.newsmax.com/commentmax/articles/Steve_Farrell.shtml>
Imperial paralysis
by Justin Raimondo The hawks are out beating the drums for war -- against somebody, anybody -- to avenge yesterday's tragedy. But, "the only way we can 'win' such a battle is to lose the very values that we want to defend in the first place." (09/12/01) <http://www.antiwar.com/justin/j091201.html>When will we learn?
by Harry Browne "Our foreign policy has been insane for decades. It was only a matter of time until Americans would have to suffer personally for it. It is a terrible tragedy of life that the innocent so often have to suffer for the sins of the guilty. When will we learn that we can't allow our politicians to bully the world without someone bullying back eventually?" (09/12/01) <http://www.antiwar.com/orig/browne2.html>
The unknown enemy
by Joseph Sobran "Foreigners aren't quite real to Americans, and most Americans are unaware of how profoundly their government antagonizes much of the human race. We are easy-going people who generally have no idea how bullying we seem to foreigners. Until now we have had no experience of what the U.S. government has so often inflicted on others. Now, at least, we have an inkling of what it feels like." (09/11/01) <http://www.lewrockwell.com/sobran/sobran195.html>The unending war comes home
by Ryan McMaken "We now have a choice between two options. We can escalate the current low intensity war that the United States is waging against nations of the world from Columbia to Iraq. Or we can pause and re-examine our current imperial adventures around the world and recognize that terrorism against the United States is the natural consequence of trying to tell the rest of the world how to live." (09/11/01) <http://www.lewrockwell.com/mcmaken/mcmaken48.html>
A tribute to trade
by Lew Rockwell "The sight of New York City's twin World Trade Center towers falling to the ground, the result of an act of deliberate aggression, seems to symbolize two points that seem entirely forgotten today: the magnificent contribution that commerce makes to civilization and just how vulnerable it is to its enemies." (09/11/01) <http://www.lewrockwell.com/rockwell/tradetribute.html>Apocalypse by deed
by Charles Paul Freund The scale of potential terror meets the scope of available media. (09/11/01) <http://www.reason.com/hod/cf091101.html> ...
