QUOTE Philanthropist David Rockefeller, who led the development of the twin towers, will serve as an honorary member. QUOTE Interim LMDC President Kevin Rampe said the jurors' political contributions were "irrelevant." Three gave money to Pataki's reelection last year, with Menin donating the most, $11,000. Michael McKeon, former communications director for Gov. George Pataki of New York http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_McKeon QUOTE Michael McKeon is a Partner of Mercury Public Affairs. In 2007, McKeon served as Senior Communications Advisor to former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani's presidential campaign. George Pataki http://www.jewishfederations.org/page.aspx?id=77184 QUOTE Thank you. Thank you. And let me say, it's an honor to be here. When I was asked, "Could you be here for this rally in support of Israel?" my response was very simple: How could I not be here at this rally in support of the state of Israel? How could anyone who loves freedom, how could anyone who rejects terror, not be here? And certainly, how could anyone who represents New York, where we've seen the face of terror and the face of evil, not be here in support of the people and the state of Israel? ... So let me just say that I'm proud there is such an enormous crowd of those in support of Israel today. I'm proud there are so many New Yorkers in this crowd who not just stand with Israel but stand with those of us who believe in freedom. And I'm confident that as this world goes forward and our message gets heard, that we will defeat terrorism, whether it's al Qaeda or in the Middle East, and that Israel will have a bright, long and secure future. ... Israel is a country that respects freedom - freedom of assembly, freedom of speech and freedom of worship. ... The moral equation strongly tells everyone who understands freedom, who understands morality, that Israel is engaging in a just war in defense of its people and its freedom. (Speaks phrase in Hebrew.) Long live Israel. God bless us. God bless the United States of America. Thank you very much. (Applause.) Julie Menin (the juror who donated $11,000 to Pataki's campaign) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julie_Menin QUOTE A contributing blogger to the Huffington Post, Menin has also written op-ed pieces for the New York Daily News, Gotham, and Downtown Express.

But only one relative of the 2,792 people killed at the World Trade Center - Paula Grant Berry, whose husband died in the south tower - was chosen to sit on the panel. "It's a disgrace," said Lee Ielpi, a member of a coalition of Sept. 11 family groups, which has no one on the jury. "There's nobody from the Police Department. Nobody from Cantor Fitzgerald [the firm that lost 658 workers]. There's no one from the Fire Department," said Ielpi, whose son, Jonathan, died in the attacks. "There are people on it who seem to have political connections." Relatives of those killed in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing also were denied a seat. "I'm livid," said Michael Macko, who lost his father in the bombing. Visit My Website Firefighters staged a silent protest too. Are there any 9/11 perp suspects not connected to most of the jurors? You're welcome albert. |
