MANIFESTO

I see that a 9/11 memorial, "a 2-acre sliver of grass and glass in the midst of Logan International Airport," has just been opened in Boston. While Logan is to be commended for constructing the memorial (Lord knows another eastern city can't seem to do so.), I can't help but have a certain misgiving about Boston's self-indulgence. Logan was, after all, the airport from where two jets departed "in the worst terrorist attack in US history."

And while "no aviation security protocol was violated," I'm still not sure I'm happy with Logan's security that awful day.

Be that as it may, at least those security personnel weren't accused of "financial self-dealing, accepting gifts from energy companies, cocaine use and sexual misconduct."
