The White House released the "Bin Laden Determined to Strike US" memo today. Josh Marshall commentsPermanent link to this item in the archive.

AP: "President Bush was told more than a month before the Sept 11 attacks that al-Qaida had reached America's shores, had a support system in place for its operatives and that the FBI had detected suspicious activity that might involve a hijacking plot." Permanent link to this item in the archive.

NY Times: "But the briefing did not point to any specific time or place of attack, and did not warn that planes could be used as missiles." Permanent link to this item in the archive.

A picture named scent.jpgPeter Breuls would like to do a Dutch BloggerCon. I think that's a great idea. I would come. I also want to do a third, in the Bay Area. There was a lot of demand for that after the first, I expect there will be even more after the second. Kaye Trammell is planning one in New Orleans, next spring. Murphy-willing I'll be there too. Kaye says hers should be the 30th BC. As the Colonel in Scent of a Woman would say -- Hoo Hah!  Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Last year on this day: "What vision does it require to start a war?" Permanent link to this item in the archive.

NY Times: "President Bush was told more than a month before the attacks of Sept 11, 2001, that supporters of Osama bin Laden planned an attack within the United States with explosives and wanted to hijack airplanes, a government official said Friday." Permanent link to this item in the archive.

A picture named gyro.jpgNYC neighborhoods have food as good as the downtowns of most big cities and the prices are better. I had a gyro sandwich for lunch today that was totally delicious. A gyro is the Greek version of the Dutch broodje, something which I will (knock wood) be eating before the end of this month. I guess every culture has a food made with bread, meat, some kind of vegetable and sauce. In NY the local equivalent is a roast beef on rye with lettuce and mayonaise. In Greece, it's roasted lamb and/or pork, with onions, parsley, a yogurt sauce sprinkled with paprika served on grilled pita. Done right, it's very sweet.  Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Globe and Mail: "Lessig convinced his publisher, Penguin Books, to allow his new book, Free Culture, to come into the world this spring under a Creative Commons licence." Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Good morning from NYC. Gorgeous spring day here. Had dinner last night with Jay Rosen at Sammy's. Had a lovely Roumanian steak, salad, stuffed cabbage and potato latkes. Excellent conversation. This morning it's a gorgeous clear green spring morning. Brought three DVDs with me, watched Good Will Hunting yesterday on the plane, watching Scent of a Woman now.  Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Betsy Devine: "...get on with the confusing business of trying to be a good person with nobody up in heaven who's keeping score." Permanent link to this item in the archive.
