                <text>On the morning of September 11, immediately after two planes crashed into the World Trade Center in Manhattan, photojournalist Mark D. Phillips took a picture that would prove to be one of the most evocative and disputed images of that tragic day.  Many peple later construed the image of the smoke in his photo of the burning buildings to compose the face of Satan. These e-mails related to this picture provide a revealing portal into Americans' responses to the attacks in the immediate aftermath of 9/11.</text>

I have the original file untouched with the date and time it was shot (digital camera) and I DID not add, retouch or change this image in any way. It is what it is in the smoke.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I have been a journalist and photographer for 25 years and you can ask anyone who knows me that my integrity is above reproach. I would welcome a response from you.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Sincerely,&lt;br&gt;Mark D.
