I was watching a documentary this week that focused on the children who lost parents in the 9/11 attacks, and followed them over the last ten years to see how they're doing today.

But even as the first responders climbed through the rubble in New York, Washington, DC and Pennsylvania, the country embarked on a “War on Terror.” With that war came years of conflict in Afghanistan and Iraq, indefinite detention of terror suspects without charges or trial, enhanced interrogation techniques, extraordinary
