Dear NYT if the building is not needed why did you not stop it? This is the first I have heard of the building costs. The Freedom Tower it is called.

Another building to stop is the Ground Zero Victory Mosque. Though I understand the NYT is for that building.

Sad, and it sounds so typical when the Government gets envolved... Our Government does know how to waste money......

For once a New York Times column I agree with. I guess miracles do happen.

$11 billion. I would have taken that money out of the Arabs skins, and much, much more.

So much they would pay just to let us, in our mercy, leave a few of them alive.

Ground Zero deserves the best the city can give it. And a lot less meddling by gov’t and every idiotic special interest scam. There are advertisements on the subways soliciting “victims” for city medical treatment for whatever illnesses were allegedly caused by being in Manhattan on 9/11 and not dying. It’s an orgy of maggots on the carcass. /r

Did anyone see the multi-hour Discovery Channel documentary on the building of the Freedom Tower? It was a schmalzy romantic and uniformly flattering look at the construction of the tower and museum. The commercials indicated that the documentary was paid for by Chevrolet/GMC. The theme was something like “The USA is recovering and moving forward again.” Schmalzy, romantic, and uniformly flattering.

Goebbels would be proud...
