It should not be and should never have been about "blame" because people go into "cover your ass" mode and then we learn nothing - it should be about investigating what procedures worked or not on that day. That's all - simple.

No mention of the heckling Rudy got?

Let's take the whole blame game to a conclusion. Since the families have long since gone beyond blaming terrorists for the loved ones deaths, and have gotten to the point of screaming at Giuliani about the radios not working, why not blame their own loved ones for putting themselves in the vicinity of the WTC on 9/11? Shouldn't these 9/11 families be angry that a) their loved ones worked at the WTC, even though it was already once the site of a terrorist attack, or b) their loved ones worked for the fire or police department, even though the job could cost them their lives?

I'm sorry if I appear insensitive for saying this, but I'm so sick of hearing the most well-compensated victims in the history of the world blame everybody else in the sun but Islamofascist terrorists for their loved ones' deaths.

The communications systems were never designed to take that volume of traffic. I doubt any system in existance could. Local 911 systems could never begin to handle that volume of calls. They are nearly swamped with the routine calls they get much less the extremely increased volume they would get in this kind of war emergency.

We remember and honor you, thanks to you and the other heroes who gave everything they had.

Good. The commissars have flamed out. In taking on the NYPD and NYFD they threw away whatever shred of credibility they may still have had. The Jersey Girls and their allies heckling Rudy completes the package. Your 15 is over, girls.
