Seven years ago today, at 8:46:40 am, murderous jihadists crashed American Airlines Flight 11 into the North Tower of the World Trade Center.
From the 9/11 Commission report:
The Hijacking of American 11
American Airlines Flight 11 provided nonstop service from Boston to Los Angeles. On September 11, Captain John Ogonowski and First Officer Thomas McGuinness piloted the [...]

Lan astaslem: Arabic for “I will not submit/surrender”

Remember: The 2,996 Project.
Remember: “Let’s roll!”
Remember: The angels on loan from God.
Remember: The 9/11 babies.
Remember: Falling Man.
Remembrance is worthless without resolve. Resolve is useless without action. Here is how “Never Forget” is practiced 24/7/365 by ordinary Americans taking extraordinary steps to ensure 9/11 doesn’t happen again:
Sgt. Desion Fulks [...]

The Los Angeles Times broke the story this morning of Bruce Ivins, who worked at Fort Detrick for 18 years and had been informed of an FBI investigation and impending DOJ prosecution against him in the still-unsolved 2001 anthrax attacks. He committed suicide Tuesday just as the feds were closing in:
Ivins, whose name had not [...]

Get thee understanding.

They don’t even get to the worst part.

Oops.

“Not a scintilla of evidence.”

Unintelligent.

“I’m al Qaeda. I’m a sworn enemy of you. You, you, you, you, for me you are enemy.”

Vet vs. Truther.

Fight terrorism: Hug a jihadist!

Which one are you?

“Lan astaslem.”

Never forget.

Interesting development in a civil suit that should be getting more attention:
Five reporters must reveal their government sources for stories they wrote about Steven J. Hatfill and investigators’ suspicions that the former Army scientist was behind the deadly anthrax attacks of 2001, a federal judge ruled yesterday. The decision from U.S. District Judge Reggie B. [...]

Wake up and smell the suicide bomb smoke.

Reader Dwayne e-mailed a photo of his new tattoos, inspired by a column I wrote last fall on the fifth anniversary of 9/11:

Wow. Very cool. For those with lower pain threshholds, you can get the “I will not submit” bumper stickers and shirts by clicking through here. All proceeds are donated to the Families of [...]

If you are sick of Rosie O’Donnell pimping the “9/11 was an inside job” crowd,” you might want to stop using the products of advertisers who pimp their wares on The View. Take a cautionary shopping trip with us today at Hot Air (click to watch):

Here’s a Stop Rosie site and here’s a blog tracking [...]

Spouting off again.
IBD asks the key question of the masochists at ABC: “Crackpot 9/11 conspiracy theories are usually deemed beneath the dignity of network television. With Rosie O’Donnell now promoting the fringe, how embarrassed are ABC and Barbara Walters willing to be?”
And…introducing the Rosie O’Donnell Rant Advisory System. I think she’s in a permanent Code [...]

Just when you think the story couldn’t get any worse and had died down, Fox News Channel’s Special Report with Brit Hume uncovers this appalling news about the Arizona 9/11 moonbat memorial. Ace:
Some of the commissioners actually wanted to add 19 more characters to represent the deaths of the 19 terrorist murderers who killed the [...]

This is Paul Talty. He joined the NYPD in 1993. On Sept. 11, 2001, at age 40, with two pre-teen children and a pregnant wife at home, he was called to the World Trade Center to assist with rescue efforts. He was one of the first of the first responders on the scene. He died [...]

AllahPundit (with signature Photoshop) sends the word via KVOA:
A state commission that authorized placement of the Arizona 9-11 Memorial in Wesley Bolin Plaza will review controversial laser-cut inscriptions “and see if some of them could be removed,” the panel’s chairman said Wednesday.
Former state Sen. Tom Smith, chairman of the Legislative Governmental Mall Commission, also [...]

Iowahawk spoofs the first draft of the AZ 9/11 memorial:

Ha.
We take a serious look at the controversy in today’s Vent.
Arizona’s GOP candidate for governor, Len Munsil, is going on the offensive:
The Republican candidate for governor says the state’s recently dedicated 9/11 memorial should be torn down, calling it an insult to America because of wording [...]

***scroll for updates…AZ Gov. Napolitano thinks the memorial is “great,” “honorable,” and “responsible…”

You have got to see the entire stomach-turning photo series of the Arizona 9/11 memorial disgrace over at Hot Air. Many thanks to Hot Air commenter AZ Patriot for taking the pics.
The blogswarm has been building over the moonbattered memorial, which was supposedly [...]

The above phrase in Arabic is “lan astaslem.” It means “I will not surrender/I will not submit.” (Thanks to Rusty, Laura, and Daveed for translation help.) This is the last line of my 9/11 column and it’s my 9/11 anniversary message to the convert-or-die jihadists.
And yes, I’ve got t-shirts in the works as a [...]

2,996: Who are you remembering? ***update…The 2,996 Project has exceeded its bandwidth and been shut down. Geez. You’d think the one day a hosting company could give a client commemorating 9/11 a break would be this one…another update: here’s a mirror site…***

Go to ABC News for an extraordinary gallery of photos of children who [...]

2,996: Who are you remembering?
Now marks the third moment of silence to mark the crash of American Airlines Flight 77 into the Pentagon at 9:37:46.

Gen. Peter Pace’s message to terrorists: “Not on our watch”
From the 9/11 Commission report:
The Hijacking of American 77
American Airlines Flight 77 was scheduled to depart from Washington Dulles for Los Angeles [...]

I am kicking off 24-hour 9/11 anniversary coverage today with my entry for the 2,996 Project.
As I mentioned last month, the project launched by D.C. Roe involves more than 3,000 bloggers who have joined together to commemorate each and every one of the victims of 9/11 on this fifth anniversary.
I am participant number 2290 and [...]

I’ve got a book review of Popular Mechanics’ excellent book, “Debunking 9/11 Myths,” in today’s New York Post. Here’s an excerpt:
I GET several e-mails from 9/11 conspiracy theorists every week, usually typed in all capital letters with minimal punctuation and maximum sputter. Here’s a typical message I received last Tuesday: “It appears you are not [...]

Reader William observes:
Originally, TV listings showed Path to 9/11 as being commercial free for three hours tonight and two hours tomorrow night.
Now ABC’s web site shows tonight’s episode as only 2.5 hours, followed by a special 30 minute Nightline (no doubt with many Democratic guests.)
Likewise, tomorrow’s episode is only 90 minutes, having been edited for [...]
