I thought I had no respect for these people, but apparently I still do--because every time I read
a story like this, my opinion of them sinks a little lower.
In addition to Rumsfeld,
... 13 FBI agents had taken rubble, debris and items such as flags and a Tiffany crystal globe paperweight.
...the now-retired head of the New York FBI office, Barry Mawn, asked and received an American flag and a piece of marble from the debris before his retirement...
Many interviewed regarded the debris as sacred, the report stated, ``and were disgusted by the fact that anyone would want to take items, including pieces of the building which were contaminated with blood and human body parts.''
The report discloses that agents had taken World Trade Center security patches cut from the sleeves of shirt pieces found in the rubble.
I'd like to see this in the next Bush commercial.
