A financial battle between the Port Authority, developer Larry Silverstein and his mortgage company is jeopardizing the schedule - which would see construction of the world's tallest tower begin around the 2004 GOP National Convention.
Each of the three warring parties has significant say over how insurance proceeds from the twin towers are used.
But Silverstein is insisting that the timetable for the 1,776-foot Freedom Tower will be delayed unless his lender - GMAC Commercial Mortgage Corp. - is bought out, sources said.

{one of the things that happens when your audience goes past a certain size, you have to drop in to the common denominator, which means ironic juxtaposition gets dangerous, everything gets dangerous, you're talking to morons who are heavily armed and know where you live. the idea of Mr. Silverstein and his greed-based reality being in charge of any kind of healing memorial for the WTC is disgusting, making it 1776 feet high is even more disgusting. Saddan Hussein's megalomaniacal street mural is disgusting... voila! something in common! disgust!
now, no more explanations for some time.}
