My dad's diary

I would love to write something from my dad's diary..The following are from his diary

The craft of creating pottery on a "potter’s wheel" had always fascinated me. In 1989, I began working at Glen Echo Pottery; I was hooked from the start. I knew that I wanted to create functional pottery and combine it with my love of color. Through trial and error, and much practice, the wonderfully colorful pieces you see here are the results. I have been very fortunate to be able to sell what I make. Making pottery is great fun for me and I never want it to become a job.
I work every day and try to add new pieces to my collection every year. I will return every December to the Washington area to participate in the annual Glen Echo Potters holiday sale. Please browse through the collection and let me know what you think. I greatly value your opinion as many new pieces have resulted from my client’s input.
In March, Mariane Pearl, the widow of the murdered Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl, received a phone call from Alberto Gonzales, the Attorney General. At the time, Gonzales’s role in the controversial dismissal of eight United States Attorneys had just been exposed, and the story was becoming a scandal in Washington. Gonzales informed Pearl that the Justice Department was about to announce some good news: a terrorist in U.S. custody—Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the Al Qaeda leader who was the primary architect of the September 11th attacks—had confessed to killing her husband. (Pearl was abducted and beheaded five and a half years ago in Pakistan, by unidentified Islamic militants.) The Administration planned to release a transcript in which Mohammed boasted, “I decapitated with my blessed right hand the head of the American Jew Daniel Pearl in the city of Karachi, Pakistan. For those who would like to confirm, there are pictures of me on the Internet holding his head.”Pearl was taken aback. In 2003, she had received a call from Condoleezza Rice, who was then President Bush’s national-security adviser, informing her of the same news. But Rice’s revelation had been secret. Gonzales’s announcement seemed like a publicity stunt. Pearl asked him if he had proof that Mohammed’s confession was truthful; Gonzales claimed to have corroborating evidence but wouldn’t share it. “It’s not enough for officials to call me and say they believe it,” Pearl said. “You need evidence.” (Gonzales did not respond to requests for comment.)


Nice writing na??
