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

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 [...]

Moonbat America is beyond parody. Yesterday, I told you about Bremerton, Washington’s 9/11 commemoration–commemorating “diversity” and immigration and anything except the actual events, heroes, victims, and villains of 9/11.
Well, here’s more inanity from the Pacific Northwest.
First, take a look at a few of the King County (WA) library system’s Sept. 11 programs (hat tip: reader [...]

***update: Dems threaten to pull ABC’s license in protest of Path to 9/11…more…***
ABC caves, as you all probably know by now.
So does this mean the Google Bomb campaign is off?
Well, no. Because if you appease bullies and thugs, it emboldens them even more.
It’s a lesson nobody ever seems to learn.

On the left, DU’ers prepare a mass Google-bombing campaign against ABC’s 9/11 docu-drama, “The Path to 9/11,” because of its critical look at the Clinton years:
To counteract the effects the ABC 9-11 movie could have on the midterm elections, I recommend this course of action:
The night of, and the morning after, people will be hitting [...]

Take my pop quiz.
President Bush gets a point for “caliphate” yesterday.

***see update***
Katie Favazza sends word of a massive blogger initiative to memorialize those murdered on 9/11.
DC Roe explains:
On September 11, 2006, 2,996 volunteer bloggers will join together for a tribute to the victims of 9/11. Each person will pay tribute to a single victim.
I just registered and will be paying tribute to Giovanna Porras, age [...]

I was in NY on 9/11/01. I had just moved into a new apartment, and was working at my first political job–for a mayoral candidate in the Republican primary. It was primary election day, and I went to go vote in my new neighborhood. By the time I gave up on finding [...]

These stills are from a BBC comedy called “Time Trumpet” (big hat tip - Steve J). The show features a satirical “Terrorism Awards” show with nominees including a “lone gunman” who shoots Tony Blair in the head as he sleeps with his wife; a 9/11-style video of terrorists crashing an airliner into the Houses of [...]

Remember?
It’s the one-year anniversary of the 7/7 London jihadi bombings. Pajamas Media has extensive, extended coverage throughout the day. Andrew Ian Dodge expresses my feelings today:
“I am still incensed that the Muslim community spends more time whingeing about “islamophobia” than they do trying to route out extremism. I am incensed that whenever question about terrorist [...]

You’ve seen tonight’s headlines: FBI detains 7 in domestic terror probe
Seven people are in custody after a sweep by law enforcement authorities in connection with an alleged plot against targets that may have included the Sears Tower, officials told CNN on Thursday.

Kudos to the NY Daily News for its investigative series, launched Sunday, on how billions in 9/11 funds have been misspent (hat tip: BizzyBlog):
…a four-month Daily News investigation of the $21.4 billion disaster recovery package reveals that major elements of the aid process were procedurally flawed — from the determination of how much money was [...]

Filming has begun in NYC. I know I’m not the only one who has a queasy feeling about this.
Background here.

Today is the fifth anniversary of the U.S.S. Cole bombing. Please take a moment to note the event on your blogs today if you have a chance.

AP reports that former members of the Sept. 11 commission are dismissing assertions that the DoD intelligence unit known as Able Danger identified Mohammed Atta as a potential terrorist long before the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
Earlier this month, AP reported the results of a Pentagon investigation which concluded that five people involved with Able [...]

The “Abdullah al-Azzam Brigades of the al Qaeda Organization” is claiming responsibility for the multiple rocket attack on a U.S. Navy ship in Jordan.
Athena at Terrorism Unveiled has thorough coverage and photos, and shares some insights about the claimed attackers and their M.O.:
This is the same group who claimed responsibility for the deadly Sharm el-Sheikh [...]

Read the post at Shrink Wrapped, who has coined the best new nickname for the Danger Enablers on the 9/11 Commission who neglected to inform the American public about Operation Able Danger:
The 9/11 Omission.
Excerpt from Shrink Wrapped’s analysis:
There are really only a few possible explanations for the Able Danger story.
One possibility is that it could [...]
