When I returned home the evening of the 9/11 attack from my office in Washington, DC I joined colleagues throughout the legal community who stayed up for days sharing every bit of information we could obtain about the status of those who worked in the Twin Towers, Pentagon and in the plane that crashed in Pennsylvania. We continued to post this information for months, and in response to this enormous tragedy, many of us never stopped sharing, and became, bloggers. What began as a way to try to honor each individual who was murdered, as well as to understand the inconceivable events that culminated in the attacks on New York, the Pentagon and the hijacking and crash of United Airlines Flight 93 in Somerset County, Pennsylvania branched out to a continuous effort to shed light on a wide range of issues which to this day remain shrouded in secrecy. Within one week, after more than 15 years, a huge curtain has finally been opened ever so slightly on 9/11, and the results are the 60 Minutes report – 28 Pages and the New York Times article, Saudi Arabia Warns of Economic Fallout if Congress Passes 9/11 Bill – From the Times article: “Saudi Arabia has told the Obama administration and members of Congress that it will sell off hundreds of billions of dollars’ worth of American assets held by the kingdom if Congress passes a bill that would allow the Saudi government to be held responsible in American courts for any role in the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.”
