...first, the mayor's office tried to prevent the Ground Zero District from growing into a spectacle. The chain link fence surrounding the site was covered with a thick green tarp that blocked the view, and police threatened to snatch cameras. "For the first several weeks, I didn't want anyone down there. It was a very personal feeling," says Richard Sheirer, director of the Mayor's Office of Emergency Management, which oversees the site. But after realizing the overwhelming demand to get a glimpse of the hole, the office reversed its policy. The tarp came down, the fences were...

On that basis, the only theatre in which...
...against terrorism will be duty bound to extend assistance if needed. New Delhi would do well to realise that terrorism in the aftermath of the September 11 incident has become a universal phenomenon and Pakistan has supported all international efforts to strike at its roots. If India can de-link this attack from the genuine Kashmiri struggle, Pakistan will be more than happy to cooperate fully to eliminate such terrorist elements that struck in the heart of Indian democracy in the capital...
