What about them? Their deaths have nothing to do with the article I pointed to, or the issues of what is going on in LE. I can praise a person for good actions, while condemning bad ones. And bad actions do not get erased by good ones.
As for the heroes, the ones I admire are the ones who went in after the first building fell. Nor were they the only heroes. There were others, with no official duty, who risked their lives.
