Wikipedia doesn't bother to mention the terrorist attack 7 years ago on its "It happened today" page.
Of course they don’t mention it. Don’t want to upset the mooselimbs.
The terms September 11th, 11th September, 11 September, and 9/11 (pronounced "Nine-eleven") have been widely used in the Western media as a shorthand for the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and The Pentagon in the United States of America.
Google didn’t do anything too
The featured article is about Flight 93!
2001 - Coordinated attacks result in the collapse of the World Trade Center in New York City, destruction of the western portion of The Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, and an unplanned passenger airliner crash in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, which happened after airplane passengers fought back on the plane. In total, 2,974 people are killed in the September 11, 2001 attacks.
But you're correct: no mention of the Muslims who perpetrated the assault.
Google is blank also.
Huh? When I go to the main page, I see no less than 6 direct 9/11 references or photos....maybe you could provide a link.
I work in a medium-small company. They do this every year:

Direct link to "September 11, 2001 Statement by the President in his Address to the Nation" under it.
Yes there could be more, but the wikipedia front page is not silent on this day.
Bring on the debates. Keep FR credible, advance us.
No need to protest, get outraged. etc. until then. (unless it involves the anti war crowd)
The Presidential candidates are set in stone...one is making major mistakes...the other is not.
If we play into the little petty minutia we will ruin it.
Let the left sink themselves with no help from us the next 2 months. Let talk radio take over, let the polls take over...
It would also help us to refrain now and focus on 2010 house and senate elections.
There is really nothing more a freeper can do to sink Obama’s ship.
What we can do is make FR more credible. What we can do is support John McCain and Sarah Palin.
What we can't do is sink into the bs. We will loose any credibility.
THINK PEOPLE BEFORE YOU POST!
Support McCain Palin right now and forget about the Obama Mess.
tagline change..
and to fintin
Can you believe Saul is back....LOL
There is a "featured article" on the front page, but apparently only on the English version.
Google doesn’t have one of their special graphics either, but they had one for the French doomsday machine.
Today's[Sept 11, 2008] featured article
"United Airlines Flight 93 was a scheduled U.S. domestic passenger flight from Newark International Airport, in Newark, New Jersey, to San Francisco International Airport. It was hijacked in 2001 by four men as part of the September 11 attacks. Over 40 minutes into the flight the hijackers breached the cockpit, overpowered the pilots and took over control of the aircraft, diverting it toward Washington, D.C. Several passengers and crew members made telephone calls aboard the flight and learned about the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. As a result, the passengers decided to mount an assault against the hijackers and wrest control of the aircraft. The plane crashed in a field just outside Shanksville, Pennsylvania, about 150 miles (240 km) northwest of Washington, D.C., killing all 44 people aboard, including the hijackers. The plane fragmented upon impact, leaving a crater, and some debris was blown miles from the crash site. The remains of everyone on board the aircraft were later identified. Subsequent analysis of the flight recorders revealed how the actions taken by the passengers prevented the aircraft from reaching either the White House or United States Capitol. A permanent memorial is planned for construction on the crash site. The chosen design has been the subject of criticism and is scheduled to be dedicated in 2011. (more...)"

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
September 11 attacks
The September 11 attacks (often referred to as 9/11) were a series of coordinated suicide attacks by Islamic extremists belonging to the al-Qaeda movement upon the United States on September 11, 2001. On that morning, terrorists affiliated with al-Qaeda hijacked four commercial passenger jet airliners.[1][2]

Why didn't you provide a direct link to the page you're referring to? Even if you don't know how to post working links, you could have simply copied and pasted the url.
Race has a lot of photos, post them please.
Very nice. Thank you.
