Feds have been quietly ordered to cease all preparations for a 9/11 trials at lower Manhattan's Foley Square courthouse.
Feds involved in security preparations for lower Manhattan's Foley Square courthouse have been quietly ordered to cease all preparations for a 9/11 trial blocks from where the twin towers fell, the Daily News has learned.
Senior aides will soon urge President Obama to reverse Attorney General Eric Holder and prosecute the terrorists in a military courtroom, aides confirmed Friday.
A final decision on just where, and exactly how, KSM and four other Sept. 11 thugs will be tried is still weeks away as the government tries to untangle a legal and political mess that has dragged on for seven years.
President Obama, AG Eric Holder face political embarrassment in 9/11 terror trial shuffle
Sat, March 6th, 2010 @ 11:08pm
New Yorkers protest holding the 9/11 terror trials for mastermind Khalid Sheik Mohammed and four others in New York City.
WASHINGTON - It's difficult to imagine a decision so bungled that almost everybody associated with it looks utterly foolish.
The decision to hold the 9/11 terror trials in a lower Manhattan federal courtroom - and then, apparently, to move them elsewhere under a military tribunal - has showered all the combatants with political embarrassment.
"This is Classic 101 Boobery," a well-placed Democratic source lamented. "They all look awful."
That would include President Obama, Attorney General Eric Holder, a fingerpointing White House staff, Republican opportunists, New York City officials and many in the city's congressional delegation.
9/11 victim’s family settles, if reluctantly
A Manhattan judge is being vilified by the grieving family of a Boston flight attendant murdered in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks because they say he has blocked a public trial, forcing them to give up the fight.

Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein
The family of Sara Low, 28, who died “a hero” battling the terrorists aboard American Airlines [AMR] Flight 11, announced they have reached an out-of-court settlement.
“Our judicial system very much favors Goliath over David,” said Alyson Low, Sara’s sister, who lives in Arkansas. “This is not a victorious day for us. Our goal from the start was to go to trial, so the public could learn with no political filters about the depth and breadth of the negligence that led to Sara’s death,” Alyson Low said in an exclusive interview with the Herald.
She accused Manhattan federal Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein of putting up road blocks to delay any hope of a trial.
First Responder to 9/11 and Man of the People, Confirms His Candidacy for Chris Dodd’s Senate Seat
Thu, March 4th, 2010 @ 12:54am
Vincent “Vinnie” Forras is running for outgoing Senator Christopher Dodd’s seat in Conn.
Vincent “Vinny” Forras of Ridgefield, Conn., a lifelong Republican and, more importantly, a patriotic American, confirmed his candidacy today to capture Senator Christopher Dodd’s seat in the upcoming election. Forras (www.vinnyforsenate.com), who has been talking with constituents throughout the state and testing platform issues for the past six months, will be ramping up during the next 100 days before the Republican caucus, he said.
“I want to reclaim the heart of Connecticut, focus on smaller government, support small businesses and, like Ronald Reagan, help Americans reclaim what’s been lost of our values. And I am coming into this campaign with solutions for the problems we’ve been facing!”
“I am a man of the people — a volunteer firefighter, who answered the call to serve when America was attacked on September 11th, 2001,” Forras said. “My vision is for Connecticut citizens to regain pride and patriotism and to get our state and the nation back on track. I hope to be known as Vinny Forras, a senator for US, a senator for all the people.

Holder, Rahm Reportedly Battle Over 9/11 Trials

White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel and Attorney General Eric Holder
Republicans aren't the only ones opposed to a civilian trial for Sept. 11 conspirator Khalid Sheik Mohammed and his alleged four accomplices.
Attorney General Eric Holder's decision not to use a military commission to bring them to justice has driven a wedge between him and White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, whose opposition is grounded in politics, according to the New Yorker.
Emanuel feared that a fight over Khalid Sheikh Mohammed could alienate key Republicans whom he argued the administration needed to help close the military detention facility at Guantanamo Bay.
"There was a lot of drama," a source told the magazine, explaining that Emanuel wanted to placate Sen. Lindsey Graham, a leading advocate of military commissions, who had helped Obama on other issues, such as the confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor.
