Can we just dispense with this fraudulent insult to the dead, please?

SOMERSET -- Groundbreaking on the Flight 93 National Memorial here has been set for Nov. 7, but $20 million in private donations remains to be raised.

The first phase of the memorial is slated for completion by Sept. 11, 2011, the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks, according to state and federal officials who signed a letter of commitment here yesterday setting the construction schedule.

The memorial, whose estimated cost is $56 million, will honor what Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell called "the first soldiers in the war against global terrorism."

If we're not willing to arrest the domestic criminals who executed the event, can we at least put down the party favors and the confetti and not continue this disgusting charade?
