What has annoyed me about the anniversary coverage is how the victims families have suddenly become counter-terrorism experts.

Obviously, the media are welcome to discuss personal grief and loss with victims families but I've noticed an increasing tendency to discuss what the victims families think about the war on terror, al-qaeda releasing propoganda etc.

It's a terrible thing to lose a loved one at the hands of terrorist but it doesn't give them a more superior opinion on anti-terrorism policy.
