London Islamic group plans celebration

Aug. 27 — As the two-year anniversary of Sept. 11 approaches, a very unusual ceremony is being planned in London. Critics say the event will celebrate the tragedy and the hijackers who killed thousands that day.

WEDNESDAY, ON THE streets of London, there was a jarring poster, extolling the 9/11 hijackers as the “Magnificent 19.” It features a picture of each of the 19 hijackers, the smoking World Trade Center towers and Osama bin Laden. It’s all the work of a radical Islamic group known as Al-Muhajiroun.

This story really, really needs more play in the media. It would go a long way towards pumping Joe Sixpack's resolve back up where it belongs.

That's why ABCNNBCBS won't mention it.

Just a tidbit, smoothbores don't leave very good "fingerprints" and lead deforms too much to trace. Not that authorities would look very hard in that situation anyway. I would gladly offer my message handling skills if you needed any.

I DO remember it, but I can't remember specifics...sorry!

"I would gladly offer my message handling skills if you needed any. "

Thanks, but I think these souls are best left to be punished by their creator. As angry as I am over 9/11 (and the dozens of my former co-workers who were lost), I'd rather not lower myself to their level.

They'll get what's coming to them in the next life.
