Here's another good article on this topic, with a strong opinion.
Not Too Soon For 9-11 Films
By Clarence Page, The Chicago Tribune

WASHINGTON-A lot of people have been fretting nationwide in recent weeks as to whether it's "too soon" for "United 93," the first big theatrical movie to deal with the events of Sept. 11. My response? Simply this: If not now, when?
Almost five years have passed since that fateful day when passengers aboard United Airlines Flight 93 from Newark to San Francisco rose up against al Qaeda hijackers and died in a remote part of Pennsylvania as heroes, the passengers who fought back.
It took less than five years after the fall of Saigon in 1975 to see high-quality, truly introspective Vietnam movies like "The Deer Hunter" (1978) and "Apocalypse Now" (1979). We supposedly do things faster these days.
