Poppycock.
Utter rot.
Bullsh*t.
Did I miss anything? If you're serious about the latter, then *every*
single business that has a damn thing to do with the WTC and Pentagon
rebuilding/renovation is profiting from the terror.
In case you're too addled to understand, employees of construction companies
need to get paid, because they need to feed, clothe and shelter their
families. This requires the companies to get paid in this thing we here in
the US like to call "money". I'm assuming it's the same over there.
