Attacks on the US
Thanks for all the messages of support you've sent us from around the world. Although these are one-to-one messages, they represent your country showing concern for ours, and we acknowledge that love and caring from you. The Art Crimes staff is safe, as far as we can tell so far, but it will be weeks probably before we know the extent of the NYC casualties in our community. So far there are no reports of writers caught in the World Trade Center terrorist attack.

We join the world in extending our sympathy and grief to those who have lost their loved ones. We are appalled and shocked. Some of us actually witnessed these horrible events in person. We will never look at the world, or at buildings and airplanes, in the same way again.

There is a lot of bullshit being circulated online. Check your facts before you spread harmful conspiracy or good sounding hoaxes. There are some good sources of alternative information out there. Here are a few I know of and like.
