Actress Maggie Gyllenhaal is standing by her statement that the U.S. "is responsible in some way" for the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

"Not to have the courage to ask these questions of ourselves is to betray the victims of 9-11," she said in a new statement issued by her publicist, according to New York Newsday.

"… I think America has done reprehensible things and is responsible in some way, and so I think the delicacy with which it's dealt allows that to sort of creep in," she said.

"[Sept. 11] was a terrible tragedy and of course it goes without saying that I grieve along with every American for everyone who suffered and everyone who died in the catastrophe. But for those of us who were spared, it was also an occasion to be brave enough to ask some serious questions about America's role in the world. Because it is always useful, as individuals or nations to ask how we may have knowingly or unknowingly contributed to this conflict. Not to have the courage to ask these questions of ourselves is to betray the victims of 9-11."
