Ground Zero

Michelle Malkin has an excellent June 7th entry on a WSJ article written by Debra Burlingame, the sister of Pan Am flight 77's pilot.

Titled "The Soros-ization of Ground Zero", here are some highlights:

  • George Soros and other human rights zealots are trying to turn Ground Zero into a blame America monument.
  • The principal tenant of the WTC Memorial Cultural Complex is the International Freedom Center (IFC).
  • The IFC gets 300,000 square feet to teach us about liberty, and serve as a gateway to the 50,000 square feet allotted to exhibit 9/11 artifacts out of sight and underground.
  • The IFC is allotted generous space for exhibits on Chinese dissidents and Chilean refugees.
  • The driving force behind the IFC is Tom Bernstein, an activist lawyer of Human Rights First.
  • Human Rights First, along with the ACLU, filed a lawsuit against Donald Rumsfeld on behalf of detainees in Iraq and Afghanistan.
  • The IFC's list of those shaping or influencing the Ground Zero exhibit includes George Soros, among others.
