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. Friday, March 15, 2002 10:54 AM September 11 Fund First, let me start by saying that, as a naturalized citizen and a self-proclaimed New Yorker, September 11 was one of the worst days of my life. I was two miles from ground zero, but watching the towers crumble is a sight I will never forget. And I grew up in a country racked by bombings (London in the 1970s was not a quiet and peaceful place). Secondly, I was horrified when I visited my brother, who lives in Bali (a Hindhu island, albeit in the largest Muslim country in the world) to hear the "well, you had it coming" attitude from Brits, Australians, New Zealanders alike; they felt that this government's arrogance and general discounting of the rest of the world contributed to the attack. Nonetheless... I happen to be heterosexual. I can't help it: I was born that way. But the idea that a surviving relative of a gay victim is treated differently than a straight relative brings bile to my throat. Heavens. you're not threatened by illegal aliens, so why by homosexuals? I always think that the most homophobic people secretly harbor a desire to try it. It would make my day if Messrs. Ashcroft and Bush were found in a Lewinskyesque position, but you can attribute that to the rantings of a left-winger. Do the right thing: treat gays the same way as you do illegal aliens.
