I'll check it out.. How do the contents compare to DRG's "9/11 Commission: Omissions and Distortions?" It is definitely more eye-catching than Griffin's book and Shenon's work with The New York Times could give it a boost.

This is the kind of book that we need as a bestseller, not just a work of fiction!

John Gold:

Thanks for posting my Community Writer's opinion piece from the Oregonian on-line about the US press failures on the Sibel Edmonds story.

http://www.yourbbsucks.com/forum/showthread.php?t=18231

I was contacted by an Oregonian editor to check out the six comments I got to it. I cannot access the comments and you can't even get the entire article anymore. Someone seems to be unhappy with the exposure. I told the editor about it and asked their IT people to look into it.

I was pleasantly surprised when the editor told me that they are going to publish the article in the Sunday Oregonian Opinion section!!! The Oregonian is a Newhouse paper and not GE or Disney etc. I think they have a bit more independence. The Oregonian does have some Pulitzer Prize winners on staff. Who knows, maybe one of them will do something with it. Think positive.
