We honored those who had lost their lives in the attack -- and those who would surely lose their lives in subsequent U.S. attacks overseas. <ref>[http://spectator.org/blog/2009/08/29/van-jones-and-his-stormtrooper Van Jones and His STORMtroopers Denounced America the Night After 9/11], By Matthew Vadum, AmSpecBlog, 8.29.09.</ref>

Van Jones first moved to San Francisco in the spring of 1992, while studying law at [[Yale]], when the [[leftist]] [[Lawyers Committee for Human Rights]] hired several organizers to be on hand for the trial of policemen charged with beating [[Rodney King]].

Emilio Flores, ''[[The New York Times]]'', September 19, 2004.</ref>  Although Jones had been working for the [[communist front]] organization STORM for one year, Jones and the truthout.org web site put forward a cover story that made it appear Jones experienced a jailhouse conversion to communism.  Like another [[Obama]] associate, [[Bernardine Dohrn]], Jones is a lawyer, avowed communist, associated with communist front organizations, and arrested in the aftermath of a deadly riot.  The truthout.org site gives this biographical information on Jones:
