OH MY GOD!!!!!

I don't know why this is so freaky to me, but it is. Perhaps it's the celebratory country music concert to celebrate 9-11. Perhaps it's the Orwellian name "America supports your freedom walk." I don't know, it just seems to take some serious tacky propaganda treads on what should be a hallowed space.

Pentagon Announces September 11 Concert

The Pentagon would hold a massive march and country music concert to mark the fourth anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks, US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said in an announcement tucked into an Iraq war briefing today.

"This year the Department of Defence will initiate an America Supports Your Freedom Walk," Rumsfeld said, adding that the march would remind people of "the sacrifices of this generation and of each previous generation".

The march will start at the Pentagon, where nearly 200 people died on September 11, 2001, and end at the National Mall with a show by country star Clint Black.
