From the article:
Glenn Corbett, a professor of fire science at John Jay College, active in a range of 9/11 issues, puts it this way:
"Lots of people have got their hand in the till. A lot of people and a lot of companies have made a lot of money off of 9/11." Is it sacrilege to point this out ?
Americans eager to donate after the 9/11 terrorist attacks poured a reported $1.5 and $2.2 billion into hundreds of charities that had quickly set up 9/11 related funds. Last week, an AP investigation revealed that some 9/11 charities were either "Bogus" or "Failed miserably" As a result, two states, New York and Arizona, have announced investigations.
