Comments on Victims Compensation
I am very concerned about the fact that the Government will provide
compensation to victims of the September 11, 2001 disaster. While this
was the utmost invasion of US soil by terrorist, I am very concerned
that the government will not take into consideration all the facts.
First of all the victims families should be compensated to the fullest.
The companies that employed known victims should be the first to make
sure families of the victims are taken care of. The Red Cross is also
involved in this process I am told. I however do not know the full
involvement of the Red Cross.
There will surely be law suits against parties. The law suits should
move forward and just compensation given.
My point is that the Government should be very careful and let the just
and normal compensation by employers and outcomes of lawsuits take place
before a fund established by Congress be used for compensation.
This was a great tragedy. There is no denying that. However be ever
vigilant of what is happening and do not throw money at something that
will be taken care of in a prudent manner.
