This looks like a trap to draw OBL forth.

Nah -- the one in Iraq is working just fine.

The tower's height of 1,776 feet, symbolic for the year of American independence, includes a 276-foot spire.

In addition, a broadcast antenna attached to the tower is to bring the structure's total height above 2,000 feet.

I don't like the name "Freedom Tower". Too banal. Besides, an association with "freedom fries" immediately comes to mind.

[Whoha]

and freedom sticks(cigarettes).

How about the aegis tower? what about normal block shaped buildings?

[connorkimbro]

pretty building. stupid name.

[JohnT]

Count me among the teeming millions who can't stand the stupid name. Gotta be a cold, sick joke to call an office building "freedom" anything.

[KrazyHorse]

The name's not that bad. Most skyscraper names are stupid anyway.

[connorkimbro]

Yes, but you're canadian, so what would you know, anyway?

[KrazyHorse]

Nothin', eh.

You catch the latest Leafs game on the CBC? Blew me away, eh.

[yavoon]

I think it should be called the phallic symbol

[Boris Godunov]

Hurhur, clever.

I'll call it the Bin Laden Building before I go around spouting coerced jingoism like "Freedom Tower."

[JohnT]

Maybe we'll just reverse our terms as many did this past summer and call it the "French Tower."

Freedom Tower: 600 metres of smooth, hard-rocking fun

I think shut the hell up
