The New York Court of Appeals ordered the edited material made public in response to a lawsuit by The New York Times. The tapes and transcripts were withheld on the direction of the U.S. Attorney's office, which had been prosecuting Zacarias Moussaoui, said Virginia Lam, spokeswoman for the New York Fire Department. Moussaoui pleaded guilty in April to charges in connection with the 9/11 plot. The department began collecting oral histories in October 2001, when memories were sharp and recriminations raw.--------------> cont'd at link... chron.com

Yes, the communists were a threat. But, a worse threat? CB, you must be kidding. How many americans did the soviet come over and kill? How many times did they directly attack us here in the USA? Threat and history are two different things. "Threat" looks forward. History serves only to inform us about future potential. You're right--the Soviets did not come over and kill anyone. The terrorists came over once and killed 2700. Sure, once is one too many and 2700 deaths are 2700 too many. But if you look at potential threat, the Soviets had the very real and imminent potential to kill several hundred million. It's unlikely that the terrorists could do anything to top 2700. That makes the Soviets the greater threat.
