Dear Friend,

A committee of scholars, veterans, clergy, activists, students, and
other interested individuals is now forming to challenge the
Smithsonian's plans to exhibit the Enola Gay solely as a "magnificent
technological achievement." The planned exhibit is devoid not only of
historical context and discussion of the ongoing controversy


Is the display of this aircraft any less devoid of historical context
and discussion than any other exhibit? My understanding is that the
musuem wants to treat this like any other aircraft on display.
It's not a political exhibit, it's a technological one.

Your crossposting to food and celebrity newsgroups is very odd......
