A White House official says Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton will represent the administration at Saturday's commissioning of a Navy assault ship built with steel from the felled World Trade Center towers.
Clinton, who represented New York state before becoming President Barack Obama's top diplomat, will join the ceremony in New York City. The White House official spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the schedule before it was announced to the public.
The USS New York arrived in its namesake city on Monday. The bow of the $1 billion ship, built in Louisiana, contains about 7.5 tons of steel from the towers destroyed by hijacked jetliners in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

It's so fitting that Hillary be involved in this. I'm not from NY, but according to everything I've read, she was a rock and a soldier for the people of her state during that bleak hour.
BTW - I may be a little paranoid, but did it strike anyone else as odd (and a little stupid) that an anonymous WH source released this info before the schedule was supposed to be released to the press? After two other acts of violence abroad when Hill arrived, and given the concerns about domestic terrorism, it worries me a little. Probably just being too suspicious.

You can't be TOO suspicious when you're dealing with those working AGAINST good. BO will do anything to take attention away from his fiasco of a fake presidency!
