Hey Jeff....who is buying you?

[Anonymous]

Where are the posts asking what happened to the money that was offered to the 911 victims.....Georgetown U took this money?
Why are you permitting these posts to be deleted?

Post your question in the Website Feedback forum.

Jeff is the only one who deltees threads -- there is no one else, no one that Jeff is permitting to delete threads.

I am not permitting them to be deleted, I am deleting them. The main reason is that the posts don't make any sense. If you could compose a coherent post, I probably wouldn't delete it.

Please elaborate, OP.
You sound entertainingly nuts.
What's your conspiracy theory?

Op here. My bad. I thought you knew what I was talking about.
After 9/11, a Saudi price offered the victims so 9/11 a large sum of money.

After the victims rejected the money, Georgetown U (and I think Harvard) said they would be happy to take the $$$.
What did these schools do with the money?
There is no conspiracy theory at work here.
The question is fair....at the time this Saudi prince offered this money, and it was rejected by the victims....the hope was that these schools would use this money to better understand Muslim culture.
Is there anything unclear?

It took me about one minute to Google this and find:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/12/12/AR2005121200591.html

"The $20 million gift to Georgetown is the second-largest ever received by the Jesuit-run university, school officials said. It will be used to expand the activities of the university's 12-year-old Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding."

You can then go here:

https://acmcu.georgetown.edu

Which is the homepage for what is now called "PRINCE ALWALEED BIN TALAL CENTER FOR MUSLIM-CHRISTIAN UNDERSTANDING" and see it's activities.

Hey Jeff. Thanks!
You are better at googling.
I have been wondering about this and appreciate your response.
This was all explained in the ORIGINAL post that was referenced.
So, why did you delete it?

If I recall correctly, your first post primarily asked why a thread from 2009 had been locked. I think I can be excused for not having a lot of confidence in your seriousness.
