9/11 memorial NOT to be a site for multi-cultural blather

Pataki Bars Museum From World Trade Center Memorial Site - New York Times:

"The I.F.C. cannot be located on the memorial quadrant,' Mr. Pataki said in a statement issued shortly before 5 p.m. That quadrant, at the southwest corner of the trade center site, contains the footprints of the twin towers. It is regarded by many as sacred ground, too hallowed for a museum dealing with 9/11 in the context of greater geopolitics and social history.

'There remains too much opposition, too much controversy over the programming of the I.F.C.,' the governor said, 'and we must move forward with our first priority, the creation of an inspiring memorial.' Mr. Pataki said he had instructed the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation to 'work with the I.F.C. to explore other locations.'"

Good. The Islamic terrorsits don't need to be memorialized in a location they destroyed to begin with.

Pataki has some spine. Yay.
