Wednesday, August 23, 2006 The voices of 9/11 In his Salon column today, Garisson Keiller poignantly explains why the 911 calls from those who perished on September 11 should be allowed to be heard. As he points out, we've heard from the politicians and the media, but we have yet to hear from those for whom September 11 was a point of no return - the victims. The media and politicians want to argue that hearing the panicked screams and pleas would somehow violate the victims' privacy rights, but Keiller rightly notes that the victims had no expectations of privacy - they were screaming to be heard and those voices should not be silenced. To hear people dying, screaming, pleading for their lives would be an emotionally devastating experience. But nothing we the public can feel in hearing those tapes can measure what the actual victims went through in their last moments of life. They died, but their last words shouldn't be allowed to die along with them.
