5. How about a nice story on the looting of the World Financial Center
by so-called "guards" and "emergency workers" after the 9-11 attacks?

Also, the looting of the apartment buildings nearby? (though the apartment looting was likely mostly homeless people; but the financial center, which was locked down tighter than a drum since it was part of the "war zone", had incredible looting, and it wasn't the homeless who were doing it).

Looting - we're talking, my company lost hundreds of computers; I had stuff stolen from my desk; the people I worked with who left purses and other personal stuff, all their money, credit cards, even eye glasses, were stolen. They got their purses - one guy got his eyeglass *case* back, that's why we know they stole glasses - but everything of value was taken out of them.

Now there's a story that wasn't allowed to be told on the national news, but it's there, and it's true. I heard many stories from people who had apartments there, who had to evacuate, who came back to completely looted apartments.

Pisses me off totally, because I know the only people who could have looted the financial center are cops, firement, emergency workers, and others who were legitimately supposed to be there. The so-called "heroes" of 9-11.

(and please, I don't discount that there were and are many, many, many definite and true heroes of 9-11; but I'm really pissed that the truth was ignored, that some of those heroes had some pretty low morals).
