<<I'm glad we have Colin Powell at the center of power right now.>> Unfortunately, he may not have the level of influence on the Bush Administration decisions that many of us hoped he would have. A recent Time Magazine cover story examined Colin Powell's difficult situation. Best Regards, Scott

Powell: We'll Go After Them By DAVID ESPO The Associated Press WASHINGTON (Sept. 12) - The government went back to work amid the carnage Wednesday, its political leaders, diplomats and soldiers leaving no doubt the terrorist assault will be answered. ''We will go after them,'' Secretary of State Colin Powell vowed. ''We will not let up.'' President Bush was in the Oval Office at 7 a.m., preparing for a unity meeting with congressional leaders and helping to set up a Red Cross blood drive at the White House. ''It is a war,'' Powell said. ''It's a war not against the United States, it's a war against civilization.'' Powell told ABC's ''Good Morning America'' that the administration was ''far from selecting any particular military targets'' for retaliation against the attacks that brought down the towers of the World Trade Center in New York and four hijacked U.S. jetliners, and breached the Pentagon. ''I would not remove any of the options available to the president,'' he said. But ''we have to build the case first.'' Military and civilian employees of the Pentagon filed into work even as smoke from the stricken section of the building wafted over the nearby Virginia hillsides and highways. The State Department, which closed after the attacks, opened again.

To All Silicon Investor Members Like most of you, I've cried a day's worth of tears ... My son and I prayed for the souls of those who have perished ... I've donated blood ... I still think of the hundreds of children who will never see their mothers or fathers again and my heart bleeds. So, I've done one other thing .... I have established a fund for SI members to direct a contribution to, if they feel inclined. I have left instructions with the bank to close the account on 10/15/01 and by then, I'll have provided them with the wiring instructions for whatever fund NY sets up for the children of those firefighters and police who have sacrificed their lives. The bank will directly wire all account proceeds at that time. I've applied for a tax deductible tax ID which I will gladly mail to anyone who PMs me for tax purposes once it is received. Commerce Bank was kind enough to match my opening contribution this morning and I thank them with all my heart. Perhaps we could all make one trade and designate it for the surviving children .... Or maybe we could only send a dollar ... Or maybe you think this is a really dumb idea .... Matters not to me. I just needed to DO something as much for me as for the children I saw as I tried to sleep last night. Account Number: 36-054994-3 Wiring Instructions: Wire To: Commerce Bank/Pennsylvania/N.A.

Maybe some will post a link to this post on threads I don't post to .... that would be appreciated. Thanks ... JB
