9/7 14:08. Just

September 7th, 2006 12:23 PM
A few months back, 9/11 widow Kristin Breitweiser suggested that former CIA Director George Tenet and named FBI agents are as deserving of the death penalty as Zacarias Moussaoui.

On this morning's Today show, Curry found Breitweiser's comments on Ann Coulter…
