Simply Outrageous

It's been 1368 days (by my count) since the horrific morning of September 11, 2001. It's clear that many lessons from that day have been ignored, by people of every stripe. But it's appalling when we confront the idea that the memorial site that will likely exist as a monument to the idea that the attack was somehow our fault. Debra Burlingame's wonderful editorial in the Wall Street Journal Wednesday tipped off America, including loyal reader RB, who tipped us to the article.

Richard Teofel's weak response won't do. As Jeff Jacoby notes, there are plenty of people who find the idea of the International Freedom Center at the memorial site disgusting beyond belief...

But we most surely agree about this. We will not tolerate seeing the construction of a Why They Hate Us Pavillion, a Selective Sin Center at the World Trade Center.

That's about right. I don't think there's much to add, except to hope that the IFC gets re-located.
