Interesting. I had no idea.
Even more interesting is the fact that it was Cokie's brother's public relations firm (Patton Boggs, LLC)who was hired as spokesman for Saudi Arabia after the 9/11 attacks!
>>>Saudi Arabia engaged the prominant Washington D.C. lobbying firm of Patton Boggs LLC as registered foreign agents (http://www.usdoj.gov/criminal/fara/Fara2nd02/COUNTRY/SAUDIARA.HTM#2165) headed by Thomas Boggs, sister of Cokie Roberts of ABC News and National Public Radio, in the wake of the public relations disaster when knowledge of the identities of suspected hijackers became known.<<<

Wow! That is something.
She turned in an impeccable performance, as usual.
It still infuriates me how solipsistic and egotistical certain members of our society can be.
It seems as if the only people who care to appreciate the sheer magnitude of the atrocities committed that day are members of FreeRepublic or listeners to talk radio.
I can still recall smelling traces of the acrid smoke emanating from Ground Zero, months, literally months, after those premeditated attempts at enacting a program of wholesale genocide-perpetuated by obscurantist, medieval Islamic fascists-had transpired.
You could still imbibe the faint odor of soot and ash, i.e. aerated death, months after this act of barbarism had occurred, at Union Square, no less!
14TH STREET!!!
And we're going to allow this feckless, ungrateful, Eurotrash, appeasement-minded pond scum to desecrate the memory of every PAPD, NYPD, and FDNY officer, the workers at Cantor Fitzgerald, every single innocent man and woman who perished that day...?
Why?!
It makes my blood boil.

Here in NJ too! I will never forget that smell. It is an absolute nightmare. Here is the lovely haze we were entrenched with for months. Fog of our dead loved ones and the smell of their soot covered ash. 
$10,000 question for everyone.....
Who remembers how this stench and death fog was referenced in the PC Media?
..

The answer is.....
The air quality!
Remember the MSM chatter about what the air quality was? for months after 9/11?
I bet most outside the area thought they were referring to asbestos dust or something.
Could Be.
But that picture is the fog that hung around us for months. And the smell can still be caught when the wind is right from Fresh Kills.

I would love to fight these people. But most of them are lawyers that know more rules than I do. And all of them have the deep pockets of Ahmed Huber, Ramsey Clark, Hillary Clinton, George Soros and the money laundering NGOs.
I'm very open for suggestions.
unbelievable...and quite disgusting. Not on my watch. thx for the heads up.
:(
I don't think I'll ever be able to imagine the sights, sounds and smell the way you all experienced it there.
Life changed here in Chicago that day, most notably because of the silence...
We have to keep fighting this.
I've sent letters out and will keep writing.
Don't quite know what else to do.
tears
We can start with signing the guestbook and writing the letters.

I'm hoping that some FR chapters will take it upon themselves to call attention to this contemptible abuse of public trust.
Hopefully, Debra Burlingame's campaign will gain a head of steam in the weeks ahead.
If our enemies are already doing damage control then you know she's on the right course!
