Dear wonderful friends on the HP list...

I finally was able to get Vanity Fair..what wonderful pictures!

I'm always controversial...

When I hear people who want to suspend civil liberties in the U.S.
to get the terrorists...

I think about Barty Crouch, Senior and his attitude towards 
Voldemort...Sirius's statement to our trio about how Barty got 
powers to kill without trial, use the forbidden curses, send people 
to Azkaban without trial....
As I mourn for my own countrymen and women..I keep thinking about
the people who have fled here, and who may have immigration problems, 
and how the INS can hold people in prison, indefinitely, if they are 
not U.S. citizens..how they have no rights.
How people are calling for the destruction of Afghanistan in order to 
get Bin Laden..and all the people of Afghanistan whose lives have 
been ruined by the Taliban, and who have no say about whether Bin 
Laden will be "given up"...

Lots of analogies to the war against Voldemort....
