I believe this is Pennsauken here. I get so confused as all the towns blend together up here.
Anyhow, Ken introduced me to this fantastic memorial to the fallen on 9/11. It is the finest memorial I have seen to date for this tragedy.
There is a paver for Michael Mullan of the FDNY. He was from Ladder 12 in Manhattan. He gave all that fateful day. God bless, Michael.

Sigh . . . this is not my idea of a good scavenger hunt. Like religion, politics should be eschewed when playing with friends. Nevertheless, since you requested a video of what I believe, here you go. Interestingly, my video addresses your video head-on. Fancy that!
I do not believe in conspiracy theories and while there were thoughts about using airplanes to attack, reasonable people could not have expected what to have played out to have happened. It is very difficult to anticipated suicide bombers. It goes against the American ethic. Claim all you want what we should have known . . . the reality is that this was beyond belief.
I believe that radical Islam is untenable.
I believe Loose Change is propaganda of those who are so far afield of reality that their actions hurt America.
Anyway, Bill O’Reilly’s discussion, which I recall seeing this segment, presents my opinion well for this hunt.
Boing Boing had a blurb up today about Kevin Mitnick’s application to The WELL and how it had been rejected. Mitnick is a well-known computer hacker who had hacked The Well back in 1995.
Following a few links, one ends up at an article Bruce Koball wrote about Mitnick’s hack of The Well. It is very interesting reading. At the end of this article, Koball took some stabs at the U.S. government and the seeming contradiction, as Koball saw it, between prosecuting Mitnick at the same time as resisting technology that could prevent these types of hacks.
Standardized cryptographic capabilities built into our computer and telephone networks could eliminate many of their security problems; but at what cost? Government spokespeople often cite hypothetical examples of terrorists and kidnappers in arguments for maintaining their ability to listen in when they feel they must, but these claims often seem overblown.
Well, history has demonstrated that those examples were not hypothetical whatsoever and hardly overblown. The government’s ability to “listen in” as needed has made the United States safer since 9/11.
“We’ve kept the terrorists from achieving their key goal of seizing control of some our most valuable allies in the War on Terror,” Bush said.
Sometimes it is important to review our positions in light of current facts.
I never heard this audio before.
I agree with AllahPundit, I’ll never see it again.
