I really don't see what the big deal is. And i hate the current administration.

WussGawd · 03-13-2004, 08:22 PM

It's a piece of history I suppose. On the other hand, I'm not sure I'd want to take an artifact from a place where 3000 people died. Guess I must just be funny that way.

I kind of doubt its a souvenir in the traditional sense. I imagine Rumsfeld sitting in his office and kissing it everytime a bomb is dropped in the middle east.

Nice misleading post

At least WussGawd is not biased at all.

I don't think this makes him a monster or anything, but he really should be smart enough to know you shouldn't take evidence from a crime scene.

Dutch · 03-13-2004, 09:54 PM

An earlier AP report said the piece was from debris that hit his offices in the Pentagon.

Rumsfield takes a small piece of a plane, and uses it to remind the people around the Pentagon to be ever vigilant - and you honestly want to use it as a political attack on him as a grave robber? I think I pity you.

None of what was taken was considered evidence...

Six items -- none needed as evidence -- were gathered and sent to D'Amuro, the report said.

Why is this such a big deal? What is the difference if if all these people got the stuff after it was dumped in the ocean? Everybody is aware where it came from. I am sure very few people are taking the stuff and saying "cool...I wonder how many people died above this piece of rebar?"

And, what makes this stuff less appropriate to have than...the berlin wall? Hell, you had to buy that shit.

It was obviously a slow day in the newsroom.

Nope. I broke my own chunks off.

You know, I think I still have a bag full of pieces somewhere down in my parents basement...

Hurst2112 · 03-14-2004, 11:08 AM

Glad to see that you were in Berlin during that time. You were probably more interested in seeing David Hasselhoff than seeing the wall come down that night.

JeeberD · 03-14-2004, 11:14 AM

Actually, I was in Stuttgart that night. But my family made it out to Berlin a month or two later and parts of the wall were still up and ripe for the picking...

Oh, and I wish I could have seen Hasselhoff. Michael Knight was one sexy bitch!!!
