A very good rant.

I loved this response to the Wall Street Journal article!
Build It Saudi Arabia
C. Swensen - Pittsboro, N.C.
The memorial at Ground Zero, to be effectively about what happened there, must be site specific and it would be helpful if it included some little odd thing about the 3,000 people, including the firefighters and police, who died there, as part of the main event. The IFC believes a memorial to freedom and man's inhumanity to man is essential? Fine. Build it in Saudia Arabia. Without U.S. tax money.

Hah!
Another great response at the WSJ:
Try Tehran
Robert Bove - Brooklyn, N.Y.
My suggestion for Mr. Tofel and his supporters is to show some real courage and build their "International Freedom Center" in Damascus or Teheran. The effort might help him define freedom--and pronto.

Thanks.
I needed to get it off my chest, so to speak.

Damn right, let's blast these guys with letters of outrage. I've done it. I'm also spreading the word on my blog: http://libertyandculture.blogspot.com/2005/06/bloombergs-moment-of-truth.html
Those of us in NYC should get on Bloomberg's case - he's up for relection. Pataki thinks he's a Presidential hopeful - tell him what he needs to do to keep that dream alive. This was an attack on America and we all need to demand a respectful memorial.
Some great updates today here:

Thanks for helping to spread the word!
Wow, this is the first I have heard of this...I am truly shocked & very offended.
All is becoming quiet. Press has gone away and we await Pataki's lastest response:

Dear Governor Pataki:
Please have someone on your staff check when it is was those currently in charge of the memorial at Ground Zero were appointed. And while they check, please have them find out who was responsible for placing them in charge of the World Trade Center's memorial in the first place.
The New York Daily News reports that "The Drawing Center" will be "at the heart of the site, in a building that would also be occupied by the International Freedom Center, a museum designed to commemorate man's march toward liberty." The people in charge there "have given space there to a SoHo art gallery called The Drawing Center" whose catalogue "features such artistic creations as: The infamous hooded Abu Ghraib figure, the wires falling from his wrists to arrange themselves into the word "Liberty.""
If the powers that be at the LMDC, WTC Foundation, and IFC are allowed to continue with their plans, this will get worse. Much worse.
This happened on your watch, Governor Pataki. You've been busy beyond what any of us could possibly have imagined on September 10, 2001. Now that you have an inkling of what's going on, will you stop this desecration or allow it to continue?
Governor Pataki, please send the folks downtown responsible for this a message to start cleaning out their desks.
Pataki is the #1 man to pressure on this at the moment.
His son has just become a Marine.
I sent Debbie an email about this:

Great!
CONCRETE, what the hell, not even marble?????
No marble.
Must save the $$$$ for the "Blame America First" museum.
This is going to cost me a couple Our Fathers and Hail Mary's this afternoon.
I wish Brian would have decked the b@st@ard.
