September 11

A quarter century after 9/11, the world has seen victories against terrorism but also new attacks and unresolved challenges in confronting jihadist ideology.

Former US president George W. Bush was entering the eighth month of his first term when Al-Qaeda launched the attack that killed thousands of Americans.

Twenty-five years later, the United States has yet to honor that heroism by bestowing the Presidential Medal of Freedom on those 40 brave souls.

The families of those murdered on September 11 deserve to know what the US government knows about the worst terrorist attack in the nation’s history.

While September 11 is not being scrubbed from the record, demography, partisan fights, and a shift in public language all point to fading lived memory and a softer or redirected story.
