Compromise Reached in Olympic WTC Flag Controversy The U.S. Olympic Commitee wanted athletes to carry the U.S. flag recovered from the World Trade Center into the opening ceremony.

In true Olympic spirit, the flag will be raised during the opening ceremony by a group of international atheletes.

Seems that the IOC is messing with the Afghans as well. Who's their PR guy?
