Sacred Ground: A 9/11 Story

On Sept. 11, 2001, United Airlines Flight 93 was hijacked by four al-Qaida terrorists. The passengers and crew fought back and because of that, the plane crashed outside Shanksville, Pa., instead of its likely target: the U.S. Capitol. Lees meer
Part of the plane crashed onto land owned by Tim Lambert, a public radio reporter at WITF in Harrisburg, Pa.

Twenty years after Flight 93's crash, Lambert and NPR's Scott Detrow tell the story of Flight 93: what happened that day and what happened over the years to come.

Vets Are Worried Their Afghan Allies Will Be Killed Before They Can Evacuate
23 augustus 2021 · 16 min

Biden: Americans Shouldn't Die In A War That Afghans Aren't Willing To Fight
17 augustus 2021 · 15 min
In a speech at the White House Monday, President Biden forcefully defended his decision to withdrawal from Afghanistan — rebuking the Afghan government for being unwilling to fight the Taliban and emphasizing that spending more time and money in the country would not, in his view, have changed the outcome. Lees meer

It remains to be seen how many of tens of thousands of Afghans who aided the American war effort will be successfully evacuated.

Biden Said He Couldn't Stop Evictions. Then He Did.
4 augustus 2021 · 14 min
Gene Sperling oversees the White House's rollout of COVID relief. On Monday, he told reporters that President Biden had "quadruple-checked" whether he had the legal grounds to extend the eviction moratorium unilaterally but said ultimately the president's hands were tied by a Supreme Court ruling that blocked the administration from extending its past moratorium beyond the end of July. Yesterday, the administration extended the renter protections anyway. And, the U.S. continues the hard task of global vaccine distribution. Lees meer
