WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Deena Burnett told a hushed courtroom in Hamburg, Germany, on Thursday that her three small daughters "whisper prayers each night to their father," the Minnesota native who died a hero in the Sept. 11 crash of hijacked Flight 93.

Oh, the depths of anguish, pain, and righteous anger such evil men stir up.

"I was struck by the fact that he showed no sign of remorse," Burnett said.

Too much feeling here folks...

Why is she suprised? Did she buy into the Nation of Peace bull crap? These killers dont know what remorse even means.

In place of putting these brave fighters in jail I would like to propose the following punishment:

Find a place deep in the jungle with an anthill close by. tie these brave fearless fighters to the ground. Place a movie camera in a way that it will record what is going to happen. Pour lots of honey on these fearless fighters and let the ever hungary ants have a feast that the brave fighters will provide. Capture all event on camera to show to all wouldbe brave fighters who want to fu** with the good old U.S.A.

I'm thinking take them to a high building and send them on a short walk.

Writes Bill Whittle:

As long as I draw breath, I swear I will never forget the sight of two people holding hands, and leaping from 108 stories above the hard concrete sidewalks that I myself have walked, gawking skyward at one of the wonders of the world. I will not forget them. I will not forget their fall, the spin that finally tore their hands apart as they fell forever, forever down that quarter-mile. I will never stop wondering what they said to each other in that last moment, or their cries to each other as they launched themselves to their deaths, having watched their friends take the same leap a few moments before. I will never forget what an unimaginable hell that their cozy office, full of coffee mugs and pictures of grandchildren, had become in order for them to make that choice, with the ruins of their friends visible on the streets so far below them.

Our President said it right ... vicious murderers ... they have no shame, no conscience, and no mercy.

It hurts to remember that day...yet we must never forget. Lives were lost, heroes gave the ultimate sacrifice. May God hold them in the palms of His hands forever.
