Salon.com September 10, 2002 Bill Clinton	The path to peace The only way to beat terrorism is for the U.S. to unite the world, not divide it.
Salon.com September 9, 2002 Arianna Huffington	Remembering Sept. 12 Our leaders encouraged us to return as quickly as possible to our normal lives. Regrettably, they got their wish.
Reason October 2002 Nick Gillespie	Freedom for Safety: An old trade -- and a useless one The USA PATRIOT Act is a synecdoche for the freedom-for-safety swap. In making the freedom-for-safety swap, we haven't just dishonored the dead of 9/11. We've helped something else die too.
Reason October 2002 Jacob Sullum	The Forever War: How long can an emergency last? The war on terrorism now looks less like World War II, and more like the war on drugs: an intermittently violent campaign against an amorphous enemy that can never be decisively vanquished. That fact has important implications for the debate about how much liberty we should give up.
Reason October 2002 Jeffrey Benner	Closing the Books Some kind of Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) exemption will almost certainly become law. Regardless of the exemption's final scope, it will be only the latest offensive in the Bush administration's sustained assault on transparency in government.
Reason October 2002 Ted Carpenter	Fixing Foreign Policy How the U.S. should wage the war on terror
Reason October 2002 Jesse Walker	Laughter in the Ruins What hasn't changed since 9/11: We may or may not succeed in fending off future massacres, or in crushing the network of thugs behind the September 11 attacks. But in the face of a separate but related threat, we have proved ourselves more than resilient.
Salon.com September 7, 2002 Heather Havrilesky	The selling of 9/11 We're buying schlock because we want to remember. But the more we stock up on canned memorabilia, the faster we'll forget.
Salon.com September 7, 2002 Damien Cave	Forbidden thoughts about 9/11 From gloating about getting off work to enjoying the "country road" ambience of lower Manhattan to hating on-the-make firemen: A spectrum of improper responses to the terror attacks.
Salon.com September 7, 2002 Michelle Goldberg	Through the eyes of John Keenan Green The Green Party is running a New York fireman for Congress in Long Island. But his campaign is more concerned with coming up with a theme song than victory in November.
