But from what I've read and heard, Hillary was hardly noticeable, and Guliani, as former mayor, gave just a brief speech. Luckily, it seems, this year (which is also the last year they'll hold such a ceremony - by this time next year, they'll have built over the ground) Ground Zero was for celebrating the memories of the lives lost, and not political propaganda...obviously, that part is already being played out elsewhere.

Just to add a thought: There was quite a bit of debate about the ceremony this year for fears that Rudy Guiliani or Hillary Clinton would use their appearance at the remembrance ceremony in their campaigns. Luckily, it seems that that hasn't happened. Hey Pete,

So many people used 9/11 to justify their own behavior; it is really good to hear that this kind of false attention is vanishing. Sounds like NYC is finally reclaiming Ground Zero. Remembrance and tribute, yes – But no more politics in the name of the WTC victims... Thank you, Peter.
