"...And Justice for All": A Playlist for the World on 5/1/11

As I write this playlist for this singular moment that will live forever in history, I'm watching my children as they watch Americans gather spontaneously at the White House and wave our flag. Tonight, let's send our love to all those families whose lives were forever changed on 9/11/01, and thank all of our service people all around the world and those who did not live to see this day. And in words I never thought I'd write, let's all hope there really is a Hell. Please add the songs that are in your own hearts here and now.

WOuld someone please tell me what kind of justice there is in killing an unarmed man WE CREATED? - A man who had nothing to do with 9/11 as stated repeatedly by the FBI. A man guilty of many crimes, most of which he committed under orders from the ones who trained, funded, armed, and led him - the CIA.

When the killing of a man becomes "justice" while proof of his crimes lies solely in the words of the biggest liars on the planet while every shred of evicence they produced turned out to be fake - we are in sore need of better justice.

"Honoring" the dead of 9/11 by NOT investigat­ing the true crime and adding more crimes to it all is the exact opposite of what the victims of that vile crime deserve.
