This is Brooke Alexandra Jackman. She was born August 28, 1978. She was murdered by Islamic extremists September 11, 2001, while working at Cantor Fitzgerald, where she worked as an assistant trader. She was just 23. After reading so many touching stories and tributes about Brooke, I feel I almost know her. Her smile is […]

Nice After nearly nine years, life is returning to ground zero in a tangible way. Crews Saturday began planting 16 swamp white oaks at the World Trade Center site.

CNN seems almost confused and incredulous that people would have a problem with this idea, since Muslims died in the terror attack on 9/11, too Plans to build a mosque two blocks away from ground zero have set off an emotional debate among area residents and relatives of victims of the September 11, 2001 terror […]

Could this be considered a case of political correctness, or, simply a case of “some ideas are so stupid that I’m not sure how you actually did this“? Saskatchewan’s opposition New Democratic Party is slamming an advertisement distributed in a government-held constituency announcing a fundraising dinner that includes an image of the twin towers of […]

Facepalm A lingering technical question about the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks still haunts some, and it has political implications: How did 200,000 tons of steel disintegrate and drop in 11 seconds? A thousand architects and engineers want to know, and are calling on Congress to order a new investigation into the destruction of the Twin […]
