Victory at Ground Zero!!! IFC is out!!!
Pataki Ousts Freedom Center From Ground Zero
(New York -AP, Sept. 28, 2005) - Gov. George Pataki on Wednesday ousted a proposed freedom museum from its site at ground zero, declaring that the International Freedom Center has generated "too much opposition, too much controversy" to remain.
The decision follows months of acrimony over the Freedom Center, with furious families and politicians saying that the museum would dishonor the memory of the 2,749 people who died at the World Trade Center.
Pataki said in his statement on Wednesday, "I strongly believe in this nation's core principle of freedom and I personally believe that the celebration of freedom is not inconsistent with the goals of memorializing our nearly 3,000 lost heroes. The creation of an institution that would show the world our unity and our resolve to preserve freedom in the wake of the horrific attacks is a noble pursuit.
"But freedom should unify us. This Center has not.
Thank goodness! The IFC was an America-bashing joke that dishonored the memory of the victims of 9/11. Ground Zero should be now and forever a place of rememberance of the innocent civilians and the brave police officers and firefighters who died that day.
