Little mention of the human toll,

No mention of terrorist links.

No mention really other than one reference to Afghanistan of the consequences. I think the time line is interesting.

But it feels like a weak sauce effort to white wash history, to absolve blame, to hold those who executed this despicable act accountable.
To avoid dealing with reality. Regardless of political affiliation.

This is how I recall watching live 9/11.

A man’s final choice, the manner of their death.

Rescue, Recover, Rebuild, Revenge was a rallying cry on-site at one time. I recall seeing a sign at the site when I walked around it late one night in November.

Now we seem to be forgetting.

I won’t.
