Ms. Burlingame, a former attorney and a director of the World Trade Center Memorial Foundation, is the sister of Charles F. "Chic" Burlingame III, the pilot of American Airlines flight 77, which was crashed into the Pentagon on Sept. 11, 2001.

"After her op-ed [opposing the IFC] appeared in the Journal in June, she received calls from political players in Washington, asking her to drop her opposition to Mr. Bernstein's project. She is prepared, only, to name John Bridgeland--a former director of the Domestic Policy Council in President Bush's White House, deputy policy director for the Bush-Cheney 2000 campaign, and, after 9/11, the first director of the USA Freedom Corps Office. He called twice "to discourage me...no, not discourage, to 'explain what was actually going to be happening [at the Freedom Center],' and that I'd 'got it all wrong.' I said to him, 'Are you aware of some of the exhibits that they're talking about?'" He wasn't. "Here's a man who didn't know what was happening, yet he was picking up the phone and trying to effect an outcome."
I believe, Burlingame, Co-founder of 911 Families for a Safe & Strong America and very dedicated, extremely bright individual, would be very apt for any political office of her choosing.
The Clintons pardon terrorists, Obama hangs out with them, and McCain wants to bring them to the United States and only interrogate them in a friendly way.
Such wonderful choices.

The real Clinton legacy: terror.
I hope the McCain campaign is aware of this column. If Clinton is the Democratic candidate, this is good ammunition to use against her.
The 3:00 AM telephone call: “Madame President, can you pardon some convicted Puerto Rican terrorists?” “Sure!”
