Bill Ayers On Aftermath Of 9-11 (Sept. 2006)

We were hijacked:

I’m writing these words on September 12, 2006— the fifth anniversary of the spectacular hijacking of the monstrous crimes of September 11. That’s right, the hijacking of the hijackings, carried out in plain sight by a different band of right-wing zealots just as determined to impose their arid ideology on America and the world as the thugs of 9-11. It’s a hijacking still  underway, a work-in-progress whose disastrous consequences are only partly apparent.

I especially like how this poster boy for the failure of the criminal justice system would have preferred to respond to 9-11:

The so-called war on terror was simply accepted on all sides, no one qualifying with the necessary, “so-called.” No one asked whether a crime didn’t require a criminal justice response and solution—perhaps a massive response, but within the field of criminal justice nonetheless.
