wolf blitzer is at the pentagon. soledad o'brien is at the firemens memorial further uptown in manhattan. soledad, a different ceremony you are witnessing today but extremely emotional, as well, for the hundreds of firefighters who attended, thousands, probably, to honor the more than 340 firefighters who lost their lives during 9/11. >> reporter: yeah. you know, they really wanted the event today here at 100th and riverside to be not about speeches and not about politicians. they told me that several times. they said this is about firemen, firefighters honoring firefighters and remembering firefighters. and so that's what they did. they had a simple and very beautiful ceremony, and it was not punctuated by anyone talking or anything other than people just really ek pressing their remarkable support for the heroic actions of the 343 firefighters who lost their lives on that day. the last ten years they've come to this firefighters memorial to hold, you know, a kind of mostly sort of private event, really, just for fi

in the pentagon went back into the building and tried to save people in the pentagon. tremendous tax of heroism -- acts of heroism. but this is the place where americans said no, they would not stand for what was happening. they heard about it. as horrific as the day was, it does bring a smile to my face to know that they took a vote. only in america with people take a vote, decide to make a plan, and act on it. [applause] this is the greatest country in the world. [applause] they fought the first counterattacked in the skies over pennsylvania. it ended right here in shanksville. they should be and always will be an inspiration to the american people for the inspiration and courage and hope that they give us. this is the site of the league future generations will turn to -- this is a sight i believe future generations will turn to. it invoked memories for me of lexington, concord, and the alamo where americans banded together against incredible odds, stood strong, and said no, this will not stand. that is what happened in the skies of pennsylvania. that is what happene

and at the pentagon down in d.c. and they are still finishing up right now and near the end of the alphabet. they began just after 8:35 this morning. and, of course, had six moments of silence to mark the times that the towers were hit. the times that the towers fell and also the time the plane crashed in shanksville and the other plane hit the pentagon and we heard powerful moments from family members. we also heard from mayor michael bloomberg. >> they were our neighbors, our friends, our husbands, wives, brothers, sisters, children and parents. they were the ones who rushed in to help. >> in years past, megyn it was a much more difficult scene here because there was a pit where the towers once stood. it was a massive construction site and the best family members could do is walk down a ramp into the pit and place showers in a makeshift pool at the bottom there. now, they have this beautiful memorial open to the families today and will open to the public tomorrow. and this is where the family members are going afte

into the burning towers and pentagon. we watched in horror as the towers collapsed knowing that our colleagues were inside. those are acts of heroism the nation will never forget. it is natural for us to focus on those images and that morning. throughout history, images serve as defining moments. the images of the airplanes crashing into the towers, the debris cascaded through manhattan, the smoke rising from the pentagon, and firefighters and police officers rushing upstairs while others rushed out. there are other images we should remember as well. there are images from the days after september 11. a young boy wearing a plastic fire helmet standing guard. a little girl leaving flowers outside american embassy in moscow. candlelight vigils held across the world. 100,000 canadians gathering in ottawa, all of these people sharing and our sorrow. the images we should remember our that the most terrific ax imagine brought out the most noble among those around the globe. today it brings out the most noble again. let us stand

wanted to find out more of the information to the pentagon at least comply with the investigation but as of right now the un special rapporteur says that he has not received any more details from his inquiry that he wanted and he has noted that part of the procedure is flawed because there's there's really not much way to enforce be disclosure of information about those special rabbits who are seeking now you know unfortunately this is not the only grew some tragic story that we've seen from the wiki leaks cables are from what's been released but i feel like this is constantly become an issue and i don't know should we be frustrated right because one of the problems you can say is the over classification of so many documents by the government and so you can think that anything fake says well we just stop classifying everything but here you go we have all these state department cables that have been released and you have a problem this is the media still continues to ignore that nothing to you about that. i mean that's a that's a larger question of the way the media has been consolidat

simple estimate the pentagon's plans for afghanistan and iraq the pentagon wants to keep some ten thousand troops in iraq indefinitely. the pentagon wants to keep twenty five thousand thirty five thousand troops in afghanistan indefinitely after twenty fourteen after foreign congo troops would be withdrawn so based on the current numbers for the cost of keeping u.s. troops in afghanistan in iraq this would cost at least billion dollars if you move if you move just one more said to if you move two hundred billion dollars in the military budget to the domestic budget by withdrawing all u.s. troops. in iraq you would save more than corker thousand jobs talk a i mean i'm sure you think with some stock out there of course the counter-argument to that is isn't it but if the u.s. economy to keep those troops there i mean the u.s. defense budgets absolutely huge well the colony that surrounds it an enormous labor force people package food court logistics transportation even the contract says but the huge economy the those jobs would be lost also do something different thank you for asking that ver

is really playing into the sort of plans the pentagon might have to discredit the wiki leaks organization and if you know the official arguments that the pentagon are making right now about what has happened it sort of seems like they're painting this picture for citizens in the united states well you may not like the overclassification that happens in government you may not like the secrecy cancer that our government has but if you put it in the hands of this australian this sleazy guy named julian a songe look at what you get it's out of control and so you need to learn to just be patient and we'll get you the details that we think you need to know i haven't i want to thank you so much for joining us tonight and of course we'll continue to follow this out as a lot of stories unfold thanks thank you. still ahead tonight another fox news host tries to make the argument that all of our economic woes have only occurred since president obama took office never were wrong it's night time award and then in happy hour and i phone five goes missing so this is just p.r. try come out all class jenn

what is the pentagon doing to mitigate those concerns? >> general amos made his position very clear back then. the second part of his sentence was if the law changes, the marines will be the first ones to do the training and to comply with the law, and that's happened. so the secretary spoke -- both of us spoke to the training, and quite frankly, over the last several months, as we've conducted the training, we have not found any significant issues -- the training was not to change one's view, it was to make sure everybody understood what the rules were, and the marines do that better than anybody else. so i have great confidence the marine corps is going to do this, as general amos said they would, and actually tell us they are. >> i talked to general amos directly about that, and he said that, you know, after doing the review and finding that there was no impact in terms of recruitment or morale or unit cohesion, that he was committed to putting this in place and that it was now important to move on. >> secretary, you said you think tha
