It looks like the architect is caving. We need to keep the pressure on. Call the NPS and contact your congresscritters if you haven't already done so.
Michelle Malkin is quoting the AP:
WASHINGTON - The architect of the memorial to a plane downed in western Pennsylvania on Sept. 11, 2001, said Wednesday he would work to satisfy critics who complained that it honors terrorists with its crescent-shaped design.
Designer Paul Murdoch said he is "somewhat optimistic" that the spirit of the design could be maintained.
"It's a disappointment there is a misinterpretation and a simplistic distortion of this, but if that is a public concern, then that is something we will look to resolve in a way that keeps the essential qualities," Murdoch, 48, of Los Angeles, said in a telephone interview.
It might be a misinterpretation, but Murdoch should have been a bit sensitive about using a crescent in the first place.
