Guest4: you sound like some members of the Bush administration who complained that after hurricane Katrina the media only focused in on the New Orleans Superdome and the convention center, ignoring other places where things were more orderly... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How true, wish he said the same to 9/11. Seriously, this whole ordeal pisses me off. 9/11 has become a political toy for this guy and other Republican senators, using it whenever they think will improve their sagging numbers. In terms of disasters, 9/11 was really rather minor, except in terms of emotional impact on the nation. Which was precisely as the terrorists had intended. NYC and DC hospitals geared up to handle the wounded, of which there were very few, and the number of people dislocated from their homes and livelihoods was extremely small. That didn't stop the Admin from playing it up as the greatest catastrophe since the civil war. It's easy to look good when dealing with a puffed up situation. And it's easy to shift the focus onto other areas of interest (Iraq) when you've deliberately created a reaction larger than the problem.
