Tracy,

You actually believe that if the facts were uncooperative and the moral ground was shaking, they would've resorted to Orwellian language!?! ;-)

Lest anyone retort that I am *for* terror, I assure you I am not. In fact, there's lots of additional things we ought to have "war on" while we're at it: 80's hairstyles, ennui, long Country ballads, baseless anxiety, road-rage, penis envy, dial up access, gratuitous 'anti' reactions to anything related to the government, post office, or public at large. Oops, I concede without the last one, there may not be much to talk about at UT. Haha
