That's another good example of posting something that came out with the potential for a very different interpretation than perhaps you intended. If memory serves, you said you wished 9-11 had happened in her back yard. Now I can see what you may have meant- which is that you felt she was diminishing 9-11 somehow in her discussion about risk assessment, and maybe had it been closer to her, it would be more real, and she heard, "they should have blown you up". (At least you didn't say POS.) But it was as legit as her statement about principles was had anyone listened. I can't get into who did what first with much enthusiasm given the ten year history we all have. :) Lane 3 has also run into this reaction when she tries to discuss risk assessment. It has a way of raising hackles. But also, we all tend to look for the nasties in the people we either don't like, or have fought with, or to whom we are positioned very diametrically. And sometimes, when someone just gets too close to our own small self-delusions, the ones we need to get through the day.
