How do you feel about the release of the 911 phone calls for help?

....the ones they're now playing on the news that came from callers from the World Trade Center who never made it out alive?

The recordings are really disturbing, they're very sad, and they arouse the emotions. They're so sad that I tried not to listen, but felt compelled to hear one. Next time they play one I'll change the channel. It's too hard to hear those poor people on the phone who never made it out.

I really don't need to hear these tragic phone calls 4 1/2 years after they happened to keep me from ever forgetting what happened that day. If they weren't allowed to be played back then, I wonder why they're all of a sudden being released publicly at this time. I don't know...maybe they're part of some kind of healing process for the victims' families. If that's the case, then so be it.

Whatever the intended purpose might be, though, it seems to me like these recordings are also going to fuel pro-war sentiment all over again and will serve to re-kindle the passion for payback. The timing and the nature of this has me a little more than curious.

For every recording they play of a caller from the World Trade Center, they should show that clip of Bush sitting in the classroom with his thumb up his ass when he got news of the attacks.
