I agree and don't condone. But if you go back to events of subsequent anniversaries even they maintain that day as a solemn occasion.

"Saying activism cannot be acheived because it dishonors the victims is, sorry to say, not entirely honest . . . "

Exactly how many victims did you know that you can make that claim?

" . . .  because the victims of the attacks would most certainly not want their deaths to be exploited to usurp our rights as citizens, and justify more wars at our expense."

Regarding "our rights as citizens" that should be up to U.S.citizens. As far as the rest of the diatribe, there are 364 other days to make that case by citizens of the U.S. Making that case on September 11 inappropriate to say the very least. If you don't understand that then I would suggest you check your own moral compass.

"Addendum: Victims' families, firefighters and ill ground zero workers are all clamoring for health care"

My son is part of the group that is helping first responders with their resperatory problems so I am well aware of the health care issues regarding them.

" . . . continued declassification and new investigations into unanswered questions."

Unanswered questions about what? Are you one of those sick people who are claiming that 9/11 was a U.S. government conspiracy. I think Markos characterized this better than I could.
