President Welcomes Aid Workers Rescued from Afghanistan
In meeting with two humanitarian aid workers who had been imprisoned in Afghanistan, President Bush Monday said, "In my speech in front of the United States Congress, I said to the Taliban, that one of the objectives was to release the humanitarian aid workers that were being detained against their will. We've achieved that objective. And I want to thank our military for rescuing these girls."

Good morning. Thanksgiving this year comes 72 days after a terrible national shock, an act of evil that caused, and continues to cause, so much suffering.
