Thanks!
Submitted by Sarah on Mon, 11/12/2007 - 7:08am.Thanks so much for doing this, I wasn't able to attend the forum. And sorry it took awhile before a docent was on to release it from the spam filter.
Great work, Cosmo!
Submitted by Rick on Mon, 11/12/2007 - 8:59am.It is awesome to be able to play each person's testimony individually.
When you think of the long and gloomy history of man, you will find more hideous crimes have been committed in the name of obedience than have ever been committed in the name of rebellion. -C.P. Snow

TJ's Closing Remarks
Submitted by Robert Whitlock on Mon, 11/12/2007 - 10:46am.I hope someone adds TJ's closing remarks too. They were excellent. Did you get them Cosmo?

Submitted by theunabonger on Mon, 11/12/2007 - 1:36pm.Sorry, I ran out of Flash card space after the panel with Drew and Gus, as it was, I had to record some it already compressed, which makes editing a bit quicker. I do have some more, which I'll try to process in the next few days, quite a bit more, in fact, probably 45 minutes or so. I missed out on some of the most emotionally charged testimony, however, as I went to get replacement batteries out of the Cosmobile.
For full disclosure, I did edit out some "ums" "ands" and "ahs" to save time, and for playability, but nothing else.
Cosmo
More! Please!
Submitted by frizzbee on Mon, 11/12/2007 - 11:54am.Thanks SO much for doing this! Could we get the rest of the testimonials up? I'm especially interested to hear Katie and Patsy Hutchison, the twins, and the woman who read the statement at the beginning from the mother, and everyone else. Thanks!

no, dagnabbit!
Submitted by theunabonger on Mon, 11/12/2007 - 1:40pm.I'm sorry, that was one of the panels I missed, when I was getting replacement batteries, and an additional flash card, consarn it!
