Wolf Blitzer is a prick. When one 9/11 family member tells him she's opposed to the death penalty for Zacarias Moussaoui, he interviews another who's for. OK, so there's disagreement. This might be news! Then he goes to a reporter, of whom he asks, the overwhelming majority are in favor of the death penalty, right, right? The reporter initially says, actually, it's mixed, then realizing she has sinned against the conventional wisdom, reassures Wolf that, yes, it's a consensus for death.

It would be an offense against 9/11 families to debate the correctness of the death penalty... even if the families themselves are debating it.
