I understand that there are adjectives in there, but do you really disagree with the part about how the Bush administration used the attack to justify the invasion of Iraq? Is anyone still defending that war on the grounds upon which it was originally sold to us?
But I guess this is the one that really got to you: "The memory of 9/11 has been irrevocably poisoned; it has become an occasion for shame. And in its heart, the nation knows it." This is clearly untrue for the small number of people who acted heroically on the day, and the days after, to save lives. But I'll own up and say that I spent most of that day watching CNN and drinking bourbon, so I can't take issue with it on that basis. And I also can't really disagree that it was turned into a political football to justify a lot of shit that was just clearly wrong, and wasteful, and deadly.
