The horrific attack is quite horrible enough without obsessing on the gruesome and truly gut-wrenching way in which some of ours died.

You miss the point of the topic; which has nothing to do with 'obsessing' on how people died on 9/11 but the fact that they did die a in a 'gruesome and gut-wrenching way' and for nothing but the hate-driven whims of twisted minds with 'a cause'.

Now, the liberal media wring hands and are 'obssessing' about possible Afghan civilians that have died while ignoring the horrible and totally unnecessary deaths of all who perished from being burned alive, crushed or jumping to their deaths as a result of the 9/11 attacks.

The big difference is that the Afghans had plenty of warning and a chance to stop the U. S. attacks on their country, but the Taliban refused to turn bin Laden over. The office workers at the WTC and the Pentagon, as well as the plane passengers had no warning - they just died.

Knowing about how many poor souls leapt or fell to their deaths that awful September morning is an excellent comeback to the liberal media complaints we're getting about Afghan civilian deaths. Seeking the number of jumpers from the WTC is not obsessing on tragedy but obtaining cold, hard and unpleasant facts about the manner that our people died to be used to refute those who claim that there is a moral equivalance where there is none.

Your right. We must know the facts and we must remember.

So, the assumption here is that those who jumped can be propped up for persuasive purposes more effectively than those who were burned, suffocated, or crushed. Doesn't make much sense to me.
