More 9/11 tapes released

I haven't heard these, but the story in the Times today stated that only one civilian tape was released, and the rest were all emergency worker communications on the public payroll.

Perhaps some news outlets latched onto that one tape, but it was the only one not considered legally private - because it had been used in court during the Zacharius Mousoui (sp?) trial.

Otherwise, yes - as everyone here seems to be opining - civilian conversations are considered private and have not, according to this rather detailed story, been released.

The "familes" group that sued to get the tapes released is, however, pretty angry that it has taken five years of stonewalling ... and they simply don't believe at this point that there aren't plenty of other tapes, perhaps even more incriminating of the rescue communications (which was atrocious by all accounts), that are still being stashed away.
