THE RULE: ONLY POST NEWS UPDATES
Ideally, you should post the headline, any portion of the text, and the link.
NO COMMENTARY IS ALLOWED
This thread was created because at the time of the attacks on September 11th, many people at work did not have access to the television or radio, and many online news sites were overloaded.
As time has passed, many people have come to appreciate the "news only" aspect of the thread, and it has become a place where one can come to get the news and not have to worry about differing political opinions. Let's keep it that way.
There are other great threads already created for debate and opinion, such as:
Foreign Affairs Discussion Group
Subject 51724
AMERICA UNDER SIEGE: The End of Innocence:
Subject 51705
Trade Center Crash and other News Trading:
Subject 51700
An Eye for an Eye:
Subject 51701
Homeland Security:
Subject 51930
Up to now, I have given almost everybody a second chance. Most people that have broken the rules have done so by mistake, and have promised not to do so again. However, it is happening more and more and I simply do not have the time to follow up every non-conforming post with a PM.
Therefore, be advised that I will henceforth ban all rulebreakers on the first offense. Don't take it personally. If you have been banned, and you wish to explain yourself, you have to do it in public here: Subject 52067 .
Thanks to everyone who contributes.
