Ten years later, Americans are still wondering if it was wise to sacrifice some privacy and freedoms in order to fight terrorism.

Shauna Wright — Thu, 18 Aug 2011 12:00:43 +0000

The office of New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Monday that 9/11 responders have not been invited to the upcoming 10th anniversary commemoration of the terrorist attacks — a move those workers have called a “betrayal.”
