James Joyner | Sunday, September 11, 2005 |
Today is the fourth anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon by the Islamist terrorist group al Qaeda.
Steven Taylor posts his recollections of the day, which closer mirror my own since we were working in the same office at the time.

This is a 5-minute video memorial. No burning buildings, no rubble, no explosions, no speeches, no screeches, no Bin Laden, no bodies. Just a remembrance of some people whose lives were cut short through no fault of their own, with poignant candid snapshots from their lives, accompanied by a musical background.
Hey, thanks for the link and traffic.
