The families of 9/11 victims who refused the Feinberg fund results and demanded more through lawsuits piously reported repeatedly that it wasn’t about the money, that they just wanted to publicize the truth in their lawsuits against fellow victims such as the airlines and airports and multiple other deep pockets. Now that several cases have settled—and the plaintiffs have agreed to confidentiality clauses—Shaun Mullen and Ed Morrissey suggest that it was about the money after all.

It wasn’t about the money, it was just answers that they wanted. But in order to get a bigger settlement they decided that they would keep those answers to themselves.
Everything in negotiations has a price. They could have settled for less and had no confidentiality agreement attached. But of course it was about the money, and their price was met (how much of course they ain’t saying).
