August 30, 2003 -- Anger at terrorists - and sadness for their victims - marked the mood at Ground Zero yesterday as visitors talked about newly released transcripts of World Trade Center occupants' last desperate calls for help.
New Yorkers and tourists lined the fence around where the Twin Towers once stood, pondering the last moments of the thousands trapped in the buildings when they collapsed on Sept. 11, 2001.

BITTER REMINDER:
Visitors to Ground Zero had strong reactions yesterday to the release of the tapes detailing the last moments of those inside the WTC. Uniform patches (above) were all that remained of some officers whose heroic exploits were recorded on the 2,000 pages of transcripts.

TRANSCRIPTS TO GO ON WEBHEIDI SINGER
August 30, 2003 -- The Lower Manhattan Development Corp. plans to post on the Web all of the Port Authority 9/11 transcripts for victims' families - many of whom want to know if their loved ones were captured on tape pleading for help. A private, password-restricted Web site will be set up, probably by next week, to allow family members to view the nearly 2,000 pages of transcripts. Later, the general public will be allowed to read the harrowing transcripts. Bill Doyle, who runs an advocacy group for family members, said yesterday he received more than 200 e-mails from family members who'd read parts in newspapers and want to read the entire batch.
This attitude is a real problem. people are forgetting more and more. Of course, just look at where this woman is from. No doubt a dem-lib anti-war non-legshaving femi-nazi.
Never forget!! Never forgive!!
I cannot begin to imagine the horror of being there. But I can imagine the shame of not getting ALL who aided and abetted the attacks. I am waiting for Uncle Sam's other BIG shoe to drop on Saudi Arabia. I believe there were others.
Several ridiculed a recent post accusing the chi-coms of having a Osama Bin Laden / Taliban connection prior to 9/11/01. I remembered that there was a connection but I had no time to google for sources.
So why would the chi-coms play nice-nice wth those who trained some in the Muslim Uighur separatist movement in China's Xinjiang province?
"China's Taliban Connection," By Harvinder Sahota explains.
See http://membres.lycos.fr/tthreat/article16.htm
"Ever pragmatic, the People’s Republic of China sought to nip the Uighur separatist movement in the bud by engaging its sponsors in Afghanistan. . .
"The Chinese also agreed to help provide the Taliban with arms and spares for its ageing equipment. Apparently, the two sides agreed to institutionalize military to military contacts [3]. In return the Taliban made it clear that they would not allow Afghan territory to be used against China [4]. The Taliban also facilitated the transfer of at least two unexploded US Tomahawks to China for $20 million each [5]." [end of quotes] There's lots more and there are several references in the article as indicated by the footnote numbers.
The Port Authority on Thursday released nearly 2,000 pages of transcripts of emergency calls it received and radio communications among its emergency workers after the Sept. 11 attacks.
Carmen Pagano, a lawyer visiting with his wife from Charlotte, N.C., said he had just one word for what he felt after reading the transcripts: "anger."
Reaction to the 9-11 transcripts.

Snuffle...
Well said. Never forget.
The best answer?
Like in not first killing the radical islamists and their supporters here and over there -- just keep scrapping the human remains into thousands of buckets and rebuiling over and over as necessary?
I don't mean to impugn your concern for the security of our Republic but don't you think the better answer is to destroy the enemies?
Carmen Pagano, a lawyer visiting with his wife from Charlotte, N.C., said he had just one word for what he felt after reading the transcripts: "anger."
"I've been angry for two years," said Pagano, who was visiting Ground Zero for the first time.
"And I think we should be reminded of the attack, and the anger we had after it, every single day."
Yeah. Osama's boys bathed people in burning jet fuel "because God told them to." There's not enough anger in the world...kepp rolling until every one of them is in a cell or in a grave.
