GROUND ZERO UNHIJACKED!!!

Pataki Nixes WTC Freedom Center

Hat tip: Power Line.  Debra Burlingame and the rest of the Take Back The Memorial team deserve a big round of applause for keeping this issue in the public eye long enough for the rest of the nation to notice.

Update 2, 9/29/2005: Hat tip LGF for this quote:


[T]he center said in its own statement that there was no other location to explore, since the memorial quadrant was "the site for which the I.F.C. was created, at the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation's request, and as an integral part of Daniel Libeskind's master site plan."

"We do not believe there is a viable alternative place for the I.F.C. at the World Trade Center site," said the statement from the center's executives, Tom A. Bernstein, Peter W. Kunhardt and Richard J. Tofel. "We consider our work, therefore, to have been brought to an end."


As Charles points out:


This seems to be a clear admission that their goal was to exploit Ground Zero; if not, why couldn’t they simply relocate?
