   Other Freedom Tower opponents saw the previously-proposed latticework and antenna on top of the tower to be a mask of the reality that the tower's inhabited stories were to have been fewer than the Twin Towers, and in this way would therefore have been shorter than its predecessors. These critics saw replacing two towers with a single, shorter tower to be inappropriately humbling and contrary to the proud nature of New York and the United States, even as a symbolic retort in the face of terrorism. Many of them believe the absence of the iconic Twin Towers creates an ongoing emotional wound that can only be healed by rebuilding the towers as they looked before, as tall or taller.  Uhhghhh... Getting a bit uncomfortable here! Who're the critics? I'll go scout for some articles+sources, help would be great!
