I'm genuinely surprised by your reaction as you've been a pretty staunch opponent of eminent domain int he past. I see no difference here; why should the owners be penalized? As far as I can tell, all they want is fair compensation for an asset that they rightfully own. Do you seriously think they should just donate that land? If so, how are *you*living up to that charitable standard to the families of flight 93?

Show me they are not getting a "fair" compensation.
What did they pay for it, what did or are they doing with it?
You call $250,000 donating it?

how was the value of the offer they were proposed derived? And do you think it is somehow "unfair" to have an independent appraiser review the valuation of the property?
You bet your ass *I'd* make sure an independent appraiser was hired. These folks should not be forced into selling their property at an arbitrary value.

The National WWII Memorial is 7.4 acres. Arlington National Cemetery is 624 acres and it contains 300,000 dead soldiers from the American Revolution to present.
WTF

What do you think has been taking place for 7 years?

Eminent Domain needs to be outlawed. It is simply wrong for the government to come in and kick someone out of their home when there is no basis for physical damage to anyone or anything due to that property's existence (disrepair, contamination, crime, etc). "For the greater good" my ass.
Of course, since we all basically pay rent to live in the US (Property tax) and don't own the land we "buy" (lien on failure to pay taxes)... this doesn't surprise me. Just another corporate tool.
Eminent domain is abused by our government, but good luck routing a road without it.

Yeah, a square mile is 640 acres so this is like 3 1/2 square miles. To put up a monument?? Mount Rushmore is only 1200 acres and it's a whole damn moutain.

Your right... the U.S. military should close the memorial at Pearl Harbor as well. No need for it. I was watching the discovery channel and saw a fishing boat sink... where is their memorial?
there is a little bit of difference between pearl harbor and flight 93.
