Thanx for the correction.
A lot of people forget how it was the construction workers who took over search and recovery after Giuliani ordered NYPD and FDNY back to their regular jobs. As the clean up progressed they sifted meticulously for fragments of human remains. One time when I went down there, I saw some of them up close, and I was struck by a feeling that they felt very *protective* of the site. Some are ill now, by all the junk they breathed in during the early days.
Some have said on that website that they've been out of work, but they rather starve than participate in building the mosque. Believe them. These construction guys are among the staunchest of patriots.
