DAN, We all basically grew up with Peter Jennings. Its a sad day for America. He was a good man whether we always agreed with him or not.
God bless his family as they say their goodbyes.
He will be missed.

Sad....... Another class act is now gone. He was young, too- I believe they said he was 67. We are battling cancer right now in my family, too-what an ugly disease. His family will be in my prayers. NC greenbean

Thank you for the update. Only last week he celebrated his birthday with his family. It is hard to imagine his voice gone from the world news arena.

"It's an unfair comment on Islam in some respects, but it is certainly a motivating factor that the hatred of the United States, and the hatred of the United States as a patron of Israel, whether you're from Afghanistan, or whether you're from Iran, Iraq, or inside the Palestinian territories is so intense at some levels, and has become more intense in recent months, that nobody will be, very many people will not be surprised at this attack today though like everybody else will be amazed at the magnitude and success of it."

Very sad to hear about anyone dying of lung cancer. My best friend (an attorney in Tampa) just died with that awful stuff. It was not a pretty thing.

So Michele in B'ham, I suppose he's an enemy to you and and his death is worth celebrating? Classic dittomonkey attitude...

I loved him and respected Peter Jennings. He was good in his work and also was great to look at on telwvision. I will miss him..

Peter Jennings was an icon across America and the world. It is so hard to believe that he has left us. He will always,always, be missed and never forgotten. He was a class act! I am so glad I grew up in the same era as he did.

I believe that Michelle in Bham is being complimentary. Re: his awareness?
