Title A name given to the resource Department of Justice Emails Description An account of the resource The Department of Justice received more than 11,000 e-mails in response to the agency's public solicitation for comments upon its plans to distribute the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund of 2001 established by Congress to benefit the victims of September 11 and their families. These e-mails have been organized here by date. September 11 Email September 11 Email: Body The basic content, as unstructured text; sometimes containing a signature block at the end. Tuesday, March 12, 2002 1:29 PM Distribution of 9/11 funds I cannot sit quietly. I am seething about the inequity of the management and distribution of 9/11 funds as described by Kenneth Feinberg on the Sunday, March 10 broadcast of NBC's "Meet the Press," Specifically, I am angered that the loved ones of Gay or Lesbians who were victims that day will not receive any compensation from the fund. How can Mr. Feinberg defend his position on the grounds that he can't violate state law? He is very willing to violate Federal law in distributing funds to illegal aliens! It is preposterous! It is just this sort of overt hypocrisy that continues to make me lack faith in our current leadership. Our Attorney General is undeniably using his own personal morality to justify this type of policy. As much as he claims to the contrary, Mr. Ashcroft and the Department of Justice (ironic) conduct themselves, AS PUBLIC OFFICIALS, from the bias of their own personal agendas. It is truly unfathomable to me that they believe this is legally justifiable, let alone, morally justifiable. Gay or Lesbian victims were just that. Victims. And, in several known cases, heroes. Can anyone deny that victim 0001, NY Fire Department &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp , was not heroic? Patriotic? Moral? A good American? Upstanding? Deserving of having his loved ones supported just as much as any other victim of that terrible day? I, for one, am disgusted. So much for unity and tolerance for all. You know, for a "religious" man, Mr. Ashcroft clearly seems to have failed to grasp the most basic concept -- Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. He ought to give it a try sometime.
