I understand.
Must-read. Debra Burlingame, sister of Charles F. "Chic" Burlingame
III, pilot of American Airlines fight 77, which terrorists crashed into the
Pentagon on September 11, 2001, has blown the whistle on George
Soros and other human rights zealots who are trying to turn Ground
Zero into a blame-America monument. Her piece is up at the WSJ.com
site (subscription required...also try here). Here are a few
blood-boiling excerpts:>>>
Ping, call for help to stop the Soros takeover.
HIT THESE SCUMBAGS LIKE A TON OF BRICKS!
Look at this:
According to the New York Times, early renderings of the center's exhibit area created by its Norwegian architectural firm depicted a large mural of an Iraqi voter. That image was replaced by a photograph of Martin Luther King and Lyndon Johnson when the designs were made public.
BTTT!!!!!!
Thanks for the *ping*--this had better be stopped NOW or we may as well just concede that we concervatives have absolutely no power to change things!
We DO NOT need Abu Ghraib drivel and the ACLU talking points promoted at Ground Zero!

Gee, Mr. Silverback. Tell us, do you have any feelings on the subject. Zheesh.
(Which is not to say that I don't agree with you 100%, you great American, you!)
Yeah he did. Team Twin Towers backs him I belive.
And I agree. Build em back. Taller, better, stronger. There is no better memorial than building them back in all their glory.
Fix bayonets, Freepers. Let's do this for Barabra Olson and Battlaion Chief Moran.
I can't believe they are going to trash that site!
UNBELIEVABLE!

Excellent thread, and this is enraging....
I heard Debra Burlingame discussing this on Bill Bennett's radio show this morning.

Same here. I wish the WSJ had put this column in its free OpinionJournal.com lineup. I plan to buy a copy of the Journal to get this article, and tell everyone I know about this abomination.
I am listening to the book on tape "Firehouse" by David Halberstam. It reviews the FDNY and 9/11/01 through the men of one of its firehouses that was severely hit .
We regularly need to be reminded of what Americans suffered on that day, not more PC antiAmerican propaganda.
Martin Luther King and Lyndon Johnson!?! Dear Lord!
I won't do to have a tribute to the Iraqi voters. Blood boiling over here.

Human Rights First and Carter Center Team Up to Address New Challenges Facing Human Rights Defenders: 15 Leading Activists at Risk
snip
The new environment in the global war against terrorism is having very damaging consequences for human rights activists working in countries where even peaceful dissent against government policies is often labeled as terrorism. Many of these human rights defenders are traveling to the U.S. at risk of reprisal when they return home. Some of them have been imprisoned and tortured in their home countries, and many have lost colleagues and relatives. Leading human rights activists from the following countries will be available to speak to the press on the dates listed below: Burma, Colombia, Egypt, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Lebanon, Nigeria, Pakistan, Peru, Russia, Thailand, United States, Uzbekistan and Zimbabwe.
* June 6-7th: Human rights defenders from 15 countries will gather in Atlanta to Advance Security and Rule of Law at the 2005 Human Rights Defenders Policy Forum titled: Human Rights Defenders on the Frontlines of Freedom: Advancing Security and Rule of Law. President Carter will be giving the key note address.
* June 8-9th: Many of the defenders will be visiting DC to meet with members of Congress.
* June 8th: Roundtable at Woodrow Wilson Center for International Scholars. Featured human rights defenders: Yuri Dzhibladze from Russia, Gustavo Gallón from Colombia, Nozima Kamalova from Uzbekistan, and Chibli Mallat from Lebanon.
