Officials denounced Thursday's attack with strong language. "Whoever the coward was that committed this disgraceful act on our city will be found and prosecuted to the full extent of the law," New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg told reporters at a press conference Thursday morning. "We will not tolerate such attacks." Army Captain Charles Jaquillard, commander of recruiting in Manhattan, told the Associated Press, "If it is something that's directed toward American troops, then it's something that's taken very seriously...

And yet I am the most desirable man in the world.” The world could stand more women who share that sentiment...
...find it morally reprehensible, and the act of a true coward, to publicly (world wide) smear a man and his family and not sign one's own real name to what they have written. I sign my name to what I write...
