15. As a NYer at the time I can tell you that was the LAST THING NYers AND victims families

wanted at that time. NYers are pretty savvy people and they had experienced the first attack on the WTC in 1993.

And the many threats since then. We were VERY aware that the city was likely to be a target, of whoever.

And many knew that our involvement in the ME was part of the reason.

NYers were probably the most opposed to going to war over that attack.

What we DID want was an INVESTIGATION.

But the occupant of the WH at the time said 'there will be no investigation'.

Shameful, unacceptable and in the end due to intense pressure from the families of the victims they were forced to put on a sham investigation.

Anyone who says NYers wanted 'revenge' is full of s*&t.
