Obama provides comfort—but no assurance—on 9/11 prosecutions
Mon, February 9th, 2009 @ 4:58am
Sally Regenhard, a Coalition of 9/11 Families member who met with President Obama on Friday, holds a sign during a press conference in this 2004 file photo.
Representatives of families who lost relatives to the 9/11 attacks are satisfied with the new president’s handling of the detainees at Guantanamo Bay Naval Base in Cuba.
For now. But expectations may be too high.
“After years of having doors shut in our faces, he opened the doors to us, and it was wonderful,” said Diane Horning of Scotch Plains, one of 53 family members who crowded into a small conference room in the old Executive Office Building next to the White House to meet President Obama Friday. She lost her son Matthew in the attacks.
Marley: a good dog with a tragic task

Marley made the news in 2001 when she and her handler went to New York City to search for survivors at the World Trade Center site.

The black Labrador had been trained for just such life-saving missions by Capt. Mark Bogush of Tampa Fire Rescue. To the dog, it was all a game. Using her nose, eyes and ears won her treats.

Obama Meets With Family Members of U.S.S. Cole, 9/11 Victims

President Obama on Friday assured family members of Americans who were killed in the bombing of the U.S.S. Cole and in the Sept. 11 attacks that the terror suspects will be prosecuted and brought “to a swift and certain justice.”
Mr. Obama met for more than an hour with about 40 relatives of terror victims during an emotional afternoon session in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building near the White House. He explained his rationale for ordering the detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to be closed within a year, but pledged that the terror cases would be reviewed and handled through the courts.
