One is forcefully reminded by Mr. Glen Greewald’s eloquent and well argued essay of the deep psychic wound that 9/11 is and will remain: the destruction of the deeply held belief in American Exceptionalism, in American invincibility.

In the quotation of Justice Robert Jackson, one is forcefully reminded of his greatness and of the great wrong committed not once but twice by William Rehnquist.
