9/11 Families Want "Freedom" Museum Cancelled

It looks like Take Back the Memorial is gaining some real traction. Many families are now expressing their disdain for the newly planned memorial.

Dozens of relatives of people killed in the 2001 terrorist attacks are opposing plans for a freedom museum at ground zero, saying it would spoil the site's solemnity by injecting controversy and political debate.

"It doesn't belong at a memorial," said Charles Wolf, whose wife, Katherine, died in the World Trade Center collapse. "You wouldn't put a debate about Nazism and authoritarianism at Dachau."
