No, I mean, I think 25 years out, there's absolutely no complete understanding of what really happened.
I think that's unconscionable.
We live in the United States of America and to think that 3,000 people were massacred in broad daylight
in lower Manhattan and that there's not been a full accounting that is credible.
There's not been the ability for the widows and kids to avail themselves of the judicial system, of the legal system.
I just think it's a stain on the country.
I'm someone that believes that we are a nation based upon the rule of law.
And the reality is this nation's worst terrorist attack, the families left behind have never been given the opportunity to use the rule of law to give us a sense of accountability and justice for the murder of our loved ones.
I mean, I think initially in the beginning, everyone was really scared.
Yes.
I think that first there was fear.
And I think that that was ginned up sort of by the Bush administration.
And then once the- No question about that.
Yes, I can speak to that firsthand.
And I too was really scared.
I mean, I think we not only had the attacks, my husband was killed.
I was left alone.
We lived in New Jersey, right across the water from where the attacks took place.
We could smell the air, which was horrible.
And then we had the anthrax attacks and that happened in New Jersey and near Princeton.
