The 9/11 Memorial at Ground Zero in lower Manhattan.

In New York City, at Ground Zero, a perpetual waterfall streams over a parapet engraved with the names of the 2,977 men, women, and children who died in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. From the balustrade the water falls into two pools and disappears into a void that, by design, can never be filled. Dug deep into the footprint left by the Twin Towers, the pools, in the words of the architect who designed them, symbolize “absence made visible.”

Two official U.S. government inquiries, a slew of more limited probes and law enforcement investigations, were meant to fill the space left by so much death and destruction with the clarity of facts. Instead, they left conspicuous holes in the story.

Lee Hamilton, the former Democratic congressman who served as vice chairman of the blue ribbon 9/11 Commission, would describe the panel’s work as merely “a first draft of history.”
