The American Truth

Safety crews cleared Nathan’s department at the Pentagon
at a record pace. His boss, Major Leibner, ordered him to report
back to work less than 48 hours after the tragedy.

Leibner walked up to his desk and dropped a six-inch stack
of folders in front of him. “Nathan, I’m truly sorry for the loss
of your wife. I know you don’t want to be here right now, but
we have a crisis to take care of. We need you to handle the press
releases and the media communications covering the terrorist
attacks. These documents have all the facts and descriptions
you’ll need.”

Nathan looked through the list of 19 Middle Eastern names
who were the suspected hijackers. “Where did these reports
come from?”

“From up top.”

“What’s the turn-around time on this?”

“ASAP. We’ll need you working 24/7 to get this information
out. Directive is to structure all reports to awaken patriotic zeal-
-make every American so proud that they’d be willing to give
their life for this country.”

Nathan looked at the mug shots of the men who had
committed this atrocity. “Done.”
