But NYC wasn't targeted - the World Trade Center towers were for a specific reason - capitalism.

True, but it was more a matter of the WTC as a major *symbol*, whereas Yale isn't a symbol of anything that I can think of right now.

It's just like how the Pentagon was hit because it's THE most significant symbol of our military might, and hitting, say, the Agriculture Dept. or the Education Dept. wouldn't have had the same ...pardon the awful pun... bang for the buck.

One of the most prominent supporters of the legality of President Bush's War on Terror was Yale Law School professor Ruth Wedgwood.
