I know this
is not strictly on a political note but I read that on average survivor family members in the 9/11 tragedy got 1.6 million dollars. For the life of me I can't see how they could get more money than the family members of the SOLDIERS killed in Iraq.How in the world could you say you support the troops and not take care of their families?

Could someone please give me a logical explanation for this? PLEASE!

1. The families of 9/11 victims have to sign waivers...

...that they won't sue the airlines or government if they take the money. Many families have declined the settlement.

It's all an effort to save the government's and airlines' asses.
