Imagine the following scenario. A gaggle of leftist ideologues, most of them vocally hostile to the U.S.-led War on Terror and some of them inclined to believe that the U.S. itself poses the greatest threat to world peace, is tasked with creating a memorial to the victims of 9-11 terrorism and a tribute to freedom. This, in essence, is what has happened with International Freedom Center in New York. (snipped)

Seemingly terminal reconstruction gridlock may not be the only scandal plaguing the site of the destroyed Twin Towers. Now serious concerns are being raised about the nature of the principal Ground Zero memorial.
The International Freedom Center is to be a 250,000-square-foot museum with a self-professed mission to "harness the power of history and use it a a springboard for contemporary dialogue and debate" on the meaning of freedom.
"Dialogue and debate," huh?
Time to reach for the revolver.
Because odds are that, at the end of the day, this center won't focus on freedom's triumphs, so much as on its failures — particularly those in which America can be painted as the culprit. (snipped)
