  It seems that while the IDEA is a good one, the execution is reminiscent of the previous (Bush) administration. The top rated item was summarily deleted. The alleged reason was that it was "backward looking". The issue is that there has not been a credible account offered for the 911 Terrorist attacks. No one has been brought to justice, no one has been censured or demoted for alleged "failures". The specter of further terrorist attacks has been and continues to be USED politically in an ongoing way to promote violations of our Constitution, human rights, and the common good. This is not a dead issue. Given the reported threats of new and even more devastating attacks, it is timely to get to the bottom of the matter. The Zelikow 911 Whitewash Commission Report has been discredited. Unless Change.Org changes its ways and begins to function in an above board manner, we have to see it as a continuation of business as usual and cover-up.
  
  Please let me know what you, as journalists, plan to do about this "bait and switch" travesty.

  Former Pakistani Intelligence Chief Calls Mumbai and 9-11 an Inside Job: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=juhAreG1p1c. Maybe Obama will finally appoint an independent panel of architects and engineers to look into 9-11. Millions of people have been killed in the Neocon genocide. Abundant evidence exists that the official story is a load of hooey. And yet Newsweek and the rest of the US Media buys into it unquestioningly. Investigation 101: who benefits? The Neocons benefited from 9-11. Fulls top., That makes them the prime suspects. Visit se911turth.org for unimpeachable real evidence that the 3 WTC buildings were brought down by controlled detonations. And then for God's sake, Newsweek, do your damn jobs and follow the money.

  Thank you for educating me Dan. Here I was thinking that Newt Gingrich and the RNC had used Web 2.0 technology to coordinate multiple campaigns across multiple states and sweep house and senate on the heals of Clintons historically low ratings and the strength of the "Contract with America." I must have dreamed that. I know that even though your article is diametrically opposed to reality, what you have said "must" be true since you research so thouroughly and carefully. Obama "must" be the first major politician to get it.
  
  After all, you would never just spew out somebody's PR without bothering to fact check it. *I* know that. But help me devise a way to convince those FREETARDS its not so. They are convinced you've done it again and again through either stupidity, laziness, or lack or principle. But I know my hero Dan "I'm Still Credible" Lyons would *never* produce shoddy hyperbolic underresearched work. Never mind SCO, Yahoo, Tesla, and everything you've ever written on Linux being examples... *we* know there is a good explanation in every case.
  
  Right?
