9/11 Widow Precise on MSNBC Hardball

Kristen Breitweiser delivered a poignant and precise statement on the misuse of 9/11 as a political football. I wish I had access to the transcript to reprint. She did say that we are less safe than we were before 9/11 and that a Republican controlled Congress and a Republican administration have no excuse for us being less safe in so far as securing loose nukes, finding Osama bin Laden, etc. She also said that Afghanistan was a legitimate target after 9/11 but that Iraq has nothing to do with the tragedy.

The other guest on the show lost his son and disagreed with Breitweiser when she said that all of the world was with us after 9/11 (there were pro bin Laden t-shirts south of our border and in central America) and that all of the world is against us. He did say that the president is against controlling our border which is where he is concentrating his post 9/11 efforts. Breitweiser is concentrating her efforts on the release of documents.
