Actually, a CIA office was situated in the World Trade Center. That's what we would refer to as "command and control infrastructure" and therefore a legitimate military target for us to drop a two-ton bomb on, if it belonged to one of America's enemies. The 1,000s of innocent civilians killed in the process of taking it out? That's another thing we like to call "collateral damage." The U.S. should stop using its civilians as "human shields."
Sucks when the standards the U.S. Defense Department applies to the rest of the world is applied to us by Islamic terrorists, doesn't it?
