Sheehy on the Families of 9/11

Once again, Gail Sheehy through The (NY) Observer sheds the spotlight in the people seemingly often forgotten in the matters of 9/11 - the families and specifically, the widows who have pushed and pushed to get an idea of how 9/11 was allowed to occur. Read it. Here's a passage:

    "Why did it take Condi Rice nine months to develop a counterterrorism policy for Al Qaeda, while it took only two weeks to develop a policy for regime change in Iraq?" Ms. Kleinberg asked rhetorically.

    Dr. Rice has given one closed-door interview and has been asked to return for another, but the commissioners have declined to use their subpoena power to compel her public testimony. And now, they say, it is probably too late.
