On June 17th I submitted a letter to the editor to The New York Times responding to Gail Collins’ incorrect claim in her June 16th piece that President George W. Bush told America to "go shopping" after 9-11. The New York Times has refused to publish my letter so I hope you’ll take a look and decide for yourself.
I address this issue in more detail in my new book, Courage and Consequence, specifically in chapter 18, page 291.
