    Watching the David Letterman "Late Show" last night was very touching.
    Dave had on as his main guest, Dan Rather, CBS newsman and anchor
    of the CBS Evening News.

    Now, this man, Rather, is supposed to be a hardened journalist,
    whose job is to report the news objectively and hide emotions/opinion.
    He has seen a LOT in his long career as a journalist.

    He broke down in tears last night twice while Dave was interviewing
    him, as he described what he saw at "Ground Zero" of the Terrorist
    Strike in New York City.

    Dan Rather showed the appropriate HUMAN reaction to the Massive Loss
    of human life.
    He wept.
    His reaction was 180-Degrees/Diametrically-Opposed to the reaction
    seen on the faces and body language of jehovah's Witnesses as seen
    in the images of their own publications that I have been posting
    for the last several days, and will continue to do so, until I cannot
    find anymore images, or run out of Webspace.

    jehovah's Witnesses are seen Laughing and Cheering and their body language is in the 'High-Five' mode while at scenes of Massive Death and Destruction eerily similar to the World Trade Center Destruction.

    This jehovah's Witnesses reaction to the Deaths of their "enemies" is So OBSCENE, it defies verbal description, yet this is their literature and they are PROUD of their literature and they STILL are distributing this literature that contains these scenes on the MOST OBSCENE INHUMANITY...

    Dan Rather, in the interview with Dave, once when he regained his
    composure, said that there were eyewitness reports of people on a
    building top in Brooklyn, who were watching the unfolding tragedy
    on last Tuesday and as the One and Two World Trade Centers came
    crashing down... these people were cheering!

    Who in the world could these people be?

    Humor Muted on Late-Night Shows

    NEW YORK –– A somber David Letterman dispensed with comedy to pay tribute to his adopted hometown Monday while his guest, Dan Rather, twice broke down in tears.

    Humor was muted in the wake of last week's terrorist attacks, even as America's late-night television hosts returned to the air.

    His voice halting, Letterman opened his "Late Show" seated behind his desk with a non-comic, five-minute monologue. The Indianapolis native, who has worked in New York for 20 years, paid tribute to the city's police and firefighters and Mayor Rudolph Giuliani.

    "If you didn't know how to behave, all you had to do at any moment was watch the mayor," he said. "Rudolph Giuliani is the personification of courage."

    Letterman struggled to make sense of the attack, saying some people explained it as the result of religious fervor.

    "If you live to be a thousand years old, will that make any sense?" he asked.

    Rather, the CBS News anchor, pledged allegiance to President Bush as the president decides what to do next. "Wherever he wants me to line up, tell me where," Rather said.

    The veteran anchorman broke down and held hands with Letterman as he tried to explain what it was like at the crash site. Letterman quickly broke for a commercial. Rather again started crying when reciting a verse of "America the Beautiful" and explaining how Americans will never hear the lyrics the same way again.

    "on last Tuesday and as the One and Two World Trade Centers came
    crashing down... these people were cheering!"

    ....I wonder, who they could have been... :( ....obviously they were overjoyed at the death and destruction of human life. How could they be any better than the terrorists themselves??

    The cheering persons on a Brooklyn roof top?

    I doubt that they would be the JWs.

    Who ever it was, they have to be insane to do such a thing.

    How long have you LIVED and how long has God LIVED?
    1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 to .000000000000000000000000000000001
    Who is like God?

    No Jehovah's Witnesses I have ever known and I have known thousands would have cheered at this sight.

    Even if they were sure it was armagedon?

    I would think any jumping up and down would be out of disbelief and shock, kind of like the Wailing Wall syndrome.

    And since Rather, who is my favorite anchor of all times, has his office on WEST 57th Street, not only is Brooklyn across the River from him, It's on the entire other side of Manhattan!

    I'd really like to get an idea of who the 'eyewitnesses' that gave reports were.

    For one,everyone and their brother grabbed their camcorder. You'd think that ONE person would've thought to film these subversives cheering, wouldn't you?

    Something doesn't right true. Don't think it was JW.

    No bboy. They all are waiting anxiously with baited breath for Armeggedon. They are all excited about it. But as I'm seeing first hand, when you point to the WTC and SHOW them what it's going to look like, they go blank on you.

    I think they realize just a little bit. A seed.

    The point of last night's comment about those cheering on the roof in brooklyn was that they had previous knowledge of what was going to happen. I am hopeful that of the (last I heard) 49 people in FBI custody, those are some of them.
    Be it true or not, it is a sad reality that there were those in our country that DID find great joy in what happened in New York, and at the Pentegon. The question I have to wonder about is, that if we strike back, what will those "sleepers" do to us. They are here. And that is scary.
    On the subject of JW's: God knows I have no great affection for them. But as another person has already mentioned, I know of No JW that would openly cheer because of what happened a week ago today. Especially not while it was happening.

    Captain Dan the News Man Blather is an idiot. I just about had to get the barf bag out for that performance. He has spent months bashing Bush. He goes out on these tours trying to promote his book and his "low ratings" new cast.

    They should have gotten rid of him years ago. He actually stated in an interview on Fox News (I think to Sean Hannity) that Clinton did not really lie - if memory serves Dan was promoting his book at that time too. I still remember a few months ago when he went to a democratic fund raiser and gave a thunderous upbeat speech at his daughter's house to a bunch of left wing people (which is quite okay seeing I think I am one too at times). Then the rest of the lame street press caught up to it. They reported that CBS policy requires news people to stay independent and not do fund raisers. What did Dan have to say about it? Captain Dan indicated that he didn't realize it was a fund raiser - Yeah, right Dan - you don't know what your daughter was up too - yeah.

    Captain Dan is a big time liberal. Which is okay because I really like liberals and value a lot of their values. But, the problem is, when Captain Dan is doing the CBS evening news or the 48 hours magazine, he tells people he is an independent news journalist - which is a load of $h!t. And I resent that and his act big time. If he actually came out of the closet I would watch him more.

    I will give Dan credit - for some strange reason he has stayed pretty non-biased during this event unlike Peter Jennings, the Ottawa high school drop out who should be shipped back to Canada.

    Here is a news report of some people on a building roof videotaping the disaster with 'cries of joy and mockery'. They were jewish.
