Actress: 9/11 our fault
By MAGGIE HABERMAN DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER
Maggie Gyllenhaal
Actress Maggie Gyllenhaal, star of a new flick about the aftermath of 9/11, believes the United States "is responsible in some way" for the devastating terror attacks. Gyllenhaal, 27, made the comments at the Tribeca Film Festival, where her new movie "The Great New Wonderful" - which has a plot centered on the destruction of the World Trade Center - premiered Friday.
"I think what's good about the movie is that it deals with 9/11 in such a subtle, open way that I think it allows it to be more complicated than just, 'Oh, look at these poor New Yorkers and how hard it was for them,'" Gyllenhaal told the NY1 cable channel.
"Because I think America has done reprehensible things and is responsible in some way and so I think the delicacy with which it's dealt allows that to sort of creep in," she added.

Someone should tell this dumb chippy that New York City was not the target of the attacks nor the only place that people were slaughtered that day.
Washington DC was also hit and one plane bound for DC was crashed in Pennsylvania.
Additional flights may have been planned for a "second wave" but the grounding of all commerical flights that morning put an end to that.

... is that it deals with 9/11 in such a subtle, open way... A "subtle, open way"?
What nuance. What a poignant phrase. What a deep thought.
What a moron...

Right Maggie it's the our fault, If we didn't build the WTC it never would have happen.

Maggie who? Never heard of her. However, I'll now make it a point to avoid anything she takes part in.

I've never understood why the news media believes that anyone cares what some twit of an actress with the brain of a rhesus monkey thinks. With apologies to the monkey.
To: Pikamax
What do you expect from an 'actor' whose only memorable role was playing a secretary who loved to get spanked. Sick role for a sick mind.

I'm sure that Maggie Gyllenhaal never had a problem with Clinton breaking the UN arms embargo and shipping $800 million in arms to the Muslims in Bosnia via Iran.

She's on the list with Sean Penn. Actors should be quiet about their loony opinions, IMHO, they would sell a lot more movies.
