Here's an interesting article in the UK's 'Daily Mail' online newspaper's 'Femail'(sic) section, regarding a documentary shown on television about the infighting going on within the families of some of the 9/11 widows about the distribution of the billion $ compensation fund:

The comments below the article are very interesting too....I never knew that the victims of the Oklahoma attack hadn't received any 'compensation' (I wasn't living in the USA then.)

MIss Toe,
Could you kindly find another title for this thread? Better yet, remove it. I'm truly sure you didn't mean anything by it, but it pained and offended me to see it.

I'm certain Miss Toe didn't mean to offend anyone, but to her credit, that IS the title of the article that she is referencing(probably why she put it in quotes).

I know, I too am sure she didn't. I was maybe being too sensitive. It just hit me in the gut, here at the five year anniversary.
