And, it’s about time. Take Back the Memorial’s email blast states:

We are very pleased to announce that Governor Pataki has announced the removal of the International Freedom Center (IFC) from Ground Zero. See http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/09/28/AR2005092801849.html for details.

Every since June 8, 2005 when Debra Bulingame’s op-ed, The Great Ground Zero Heist, appeared in the Wall Street Journal, we have fought together for the preservation of the dignity of Ground Zero. With your help, we have achieved a major victory toward that goal.

We will continue to monitor the plans for Ground Zero to ensure that a fitting and proper memorial is built; one that is respectful of the victims murdered that day, their families, the first responders, and the American people.

A press release on the removal of the IFC from the 15 family member groups is expected in the next 24 hours and we will post it @ www.takebackthememorial.org as soon as it becomes available.

Thank you again for your support, prayers, and dedication. We simply could not have done this without you.

Sincerely,

Robert D. Shurbet

Damn good news. The memorial and area should be about 9/11, not the crazy notions that the IFC wanted to discuss. You can read Debra Burlingame’s original editorial here. No need to rehash what she wrote here. She did just fine.

Of course, the New York Times, in there usual way, has completely forgotten to mention why there was controversy. Of course, surely, in there view, there should be some memorial at Ground Zero which tells, among other things, why the USA was at fault, and how evil we are post 9/11. Figures.
