As the 10-year anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks approaches, over twenty alternative publications across the United States are running the commentary piece, "9/11 Blind," by author and anti-war activist Tom Hayden.
The article examines the "Long War" that has unfolded over the past ten years, resulting in the loss of thousands of lives and exacting a heavy toll on the U.S. economy.

Publications that are running the story this week include:
