I'd like people to realize the war is still going on and that we have to speak up about it.

We had people saying, 'What about Sept. 11?' and 'Do you want them to come here and knock down more buildings?' So we made up signs saying Sept. 11 had nothing to do with Iraq. Now we are greeted by horns honking their support for us.

The Committee's review of a series of intelligence shortcomings, to include intelligence prior to 9/11 and the pre-war intelligence on Iraq, clearly reveal how vital a diverse intelligence workforce is to our national security.

We're a festival that was started because of an act of war, so we have always had films and panel discussions that bring up difficult subjects.

So it looks like a war zone right now.

I was born in London in England in 1934. I went through, as a child, the horrors of World War II, through a time when food was rationed and we learned to be very careful, and we never had more to eat than what we needed to eat. There was no waste. Everything was used.
