Nearly nine years after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, the bi-state agency that operates the World Trade Center is looking for a private partner to help manage the 1,776-foot office tower that is being built at Ground Zero -- and one of two companies under consideration may have ties to the Middle East.
The bidding process for private partners for the "Freedom Tower" has been whittled down to two companies: Durst Organization and Related Companies, Fox News legal analyst Peter Johnson Jr. reports.
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey will soon decide which partner will manage and help market the tower, which has been renamed One World Trade Center. The partner will invest at least $100 million into the office tower and memorial building.

I’m tellin’ya... ground zero is their second Mecca.
Helps explain why we don’t have a tower 9 years later...
It is important to them to exert the influence of their conquest in the city that has the largest number of American Jews.
So, just so I have this straight. The new “Freedom Tower:”
Will be owned (at least in part) by muslims.
Will be darkened each day by shadows from the nearby 13-story mosque.
Will feature electronic components built by the Chinese.
Will be constructed by Mexicans.
Can some Americans get a few jobs sweeping the streets or at least get approval to panhandle?
Yes, a real tribute to freedom, that Freedom Tower.
It is no longer called the “Freedom Tower”, they dropped that name a long time ago, it “One World Tower” and that is not a joke, that is it’s real name.
Because this country has extreme difficulty accomplishing damn near anything complicated these days. Have to please too many special interests.
I was at ground zero last Tuesday. St Paul’s is an inspiration. You can still smell the smoke on one of the displays. There was an arab selling bottles of water on the corner. He may have been a wonderful American, but God forgive me, I wanted to slap him for being there.
Yep...it’s pathetic.
You're right.. I'd forgotten that. "Freedom" is no longer "in."
>>It is important to them to exert the influence of their conquest in the city that has the largest number of American Jews.<<
No, it’s important for the Jews to stop this victimology nonsense and stand up before they lose their influence in the city. Stop the whining! If you want something fight for it.
I didn’t think I was whining. I THOUGHT I was giving my opinion on WHY they are doing it.
