Title A name given to the resource Department of Justice Emails Description An account of the resource The Department of Justice received more than 11,000 e-mails in response to the agency's public solicitation for comments upon its plans to distribute the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund of 2001 established by Congress to benefit the victims of September 11 and their families. These e-mails have been organized here by date. September 11 Email September 11 Email: Body The basic content, as unstructured text; sometimes containing a signature block at the end. Wednesday, March 13, 2002 10:35 AM Discrimination I have heard that on Sunday morning's "Meet the Press," Kenneth Feinberg, the head of the September 11 Victim's Compensation Fund (a program of the US Dept. of Justice), is planning on limiting what kind of compensation goes to gay and lesbian victims of the September 11 terrorist attacks. And the way the rules read, gays and lesbians will probably get nothing. Forget that &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp , a gay man, was one of the heroes who brought United Flight 93 down in a field in Pennsylvania instead of on top of the US Congress, where it was supposedly headed. And forget that &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp was gay, as was the &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp . No, according to John Ashcroft's Justice Department, apparently some heroes are more equal than others. I find this sort of discrimination unbelievable in a country that prides itself on freedom and equality for all citizens.
