So what? Legalistic nonsense, war is war. What I am more concerned about is how "9.11" just got blown out of all proportion, a bit like Coventry in WW2 - WHEN THE BIGGER DEATH TOLL, WAS IN BIRMINGHAM. But everyone remembers Coventry and no one remembers Birmingham of course!
Believe it or not, the whole world has carried on since "9.11"! It was a dreadful thing to happen, but with American domination of the world's media, don't you think there was just a little bit of media overkill? Or does it say something about America (post-Vietnam) by having this awful event on its home soil for the first time?
