9/11 Families Livid at Clarke's 'Profiteering'
Thirty-two family members of 9/11 victims have signed a blistering open letter to former terrorism czar Richard Clarke, accusing him of "profiteering" from the 9/11 tragedy by writing a book and acting to "divide America" with his testimony before the 9/11 Commission.
"The notion of profiteering from anything associated with 9/11 is particularly offensive to all of us," the 9/11 familles wrote in a letter published in Sunday's New York Post.
"We find Mr. Clarke's actions all the more offensive especially considering the fact that there was always a high possibility that the 9/11 Commission could be used for political gain, especially now, with the presidential election less than eight months away."
The 9/11 families complained:
"Surely, Mr. Clarke knew this. Yet he decided to risk the actual and perceived impartiality of this important process to maximize book sales.
"As family and friends of those killed on 9/11, we believe it inappropriate for Mr. Clarke to profit from and politicize 9/11, and further divide America, by his testimony before the 9/11 Commission."
dont count on it, lol!!

Like the families didn't profit from it. What do the families of military members receive for the loss of their loved ones? What did the families of the victims of 9/11 receive? I realize that the military force knew the dangers when they enlisted, and the civilians killed on 9/11 had no idea of the dangers, but the firefighters and police officers knew the dangers and their families received large sums of money in an attempt at compensation for the loss of life. (Even though no amount of money can really compensate, IMO)
So, IMO, these families really have nothing to say.
LET THE BASHING BEGIN........lol
