Re: Truth in America broadcast aired on October 12 , 2006

I always respected the American media, its independence, its honesty and its entrepreneurism. The media in New York took the reporting of the rebuilding process of Lower Manhattan as a national task. It certainly is. The reporters often seemed proud to report the rebuilding news. Reporting this news, the media always seemed to report inaccuracies and promote a very personal project as a national project. The media was honestly reporting what they were called to report the problem lies in the content of the materials that they were called to report. This time the media’s reliable sources weren’t all that reliable.
“The Media played along” (using your terminology) misleading the public offering inferior corrupted architecture as a national one. This time wasn’t about politics just serving the purpose of a couple guys. In fact your show was used to legitimize the corrupted process of rebuilding lower Manhattan when you allowed the architects to appear on your show promoting their designs.

I was admitted to the Master of Architecture program at SUNY, Buffalo in 1998 and graduated in the year 2000. My M-Arch’s thesis proposed expanding Lower Manhattan. This expansion is to be done by infilling Lower Manhattan’s encompassing waters incorporating the near by Governors Island. My thesis outlined few expansion schemes and conceptually devised transportation plans expanding Subways and vehicular transportation to serve and connect the new expansion. I see the rebuilding of the new World Trade Center and constructing a significant memorial in the context of this complete national rebuilding process. My project wasn’t sponsored by the government, yet it is a far superior and a far national by comparison to the current project that squandered the government resources. My project was authenticated by more than three design professors and one faculty member. I was never heard despite trying for thousands of times over a number of years.

In New York’s rebuilding-process, corrupted is the new honorable.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
