Michael Isikoff and the bigwigs at Newsweek passed on the Monica
Lewinsky story because of unconfirmed information (the same Isikoff to
release the Qu’ran in the toilet story with unconfirmed information,
which lead to more than a dozen deaths at protests around the world)…
little known Matt Drudge broke the story on his newly formed website and
the rest is political history. Check out the Drudge report for unbiased,

This group is fighting to retain some kind of dignity for the victims of
September Eleventh. It’s amazing we’re coming up on five years and
there’s still no new building, much less a memorial to the dead. We
should have built two more towers, five stories higher, with giant guns
on the roofs, and a giant memorial in the courtyard… at ground level.
AudieMurphy.com The memorial
website to the most decorated soldier of World War II. We must never
forget those who have fought for the freedom too many Americans take for
granted. We must return to a time when the vast majority of Americans
stand united and stand tall in support of America.
