Honestly, you WAY overreacted. All she said is that, "maybe they do
not want to draw attention to the fact that they still can't find bin
Laden. Or won't." You were the one who went off on a rant that she was
somehow implying that the President was helping bin Laden and in on
9/11. She never said any of that, but you jumped to such an amazingly
extreme conclusion that it was honestly laughable and a little scary.
July 4 is a day when we should be not only celebratory about our
acheivements but also reflective of our faults. Without an honest
confrontation of our faults, we may become that which we so valiantly
fought against.
I consider Dana no less of an American than yourself. Official
citizenship notwithstanding. She has proven herself to be more
interested and active in understanding the history and current events
of the US than most people I deal with on a daily basis who take their
lives here for granted.
