At Ground Zero, a Battle's Decisive Moment
By Dana Chivvis - AOL NewsNEW YORK (March 11) -- A longstanding battle that has stymied construction at the site of the World Trade Center comes to a head this week. Barring a last-minute deal, arbitrators are set to impose a solution Friday on the financial spat that pits the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which owns the site, against Larry Silverstein, the developer who leased the World Trade Towers only weeks before the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. "It's a disgrace that nine years after the attacks we are still looking at a hole in the ground," New York City Council Speaker Christine Quinn said Tuesday, ...
Probe Finds Credibility Issues With 9/11 Lawsuits
By not in system - AOL NewsNEW YORK (Feb. 7) -- As the first cases in a massive battle over illnesses linked to 9/11 near trial, an Associated Press investigation has found that several of the initial 30 suits contain inconsistent or exaggerated claims about how the workers got sick or how much time they spent at ground zero.

In a clever wordplay, the Washington Post lamented that the decade should not be called the Aughts, but the "Oughts," in memoriam of all the achievements that "ought" to have happened in the 2000s, ...
Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in NYC: 5 Challenges
By Steve Pendlebury - AOL News(Nov. 16) -- Attorney General Eric Holder's decision to move five accused 9/11 terrorists, including confessed mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, from Guantanamo Bay to New York City for trial has ignited a complex debate. Here's a breakdown of the main points of contention. 1. Crime or Act of War? Those who oppose moving the case to civilian court argue that it sends the wrong message about the fight against terrorism. Sept. 11 was an act of war, they say, so Mohammad (KSM) and the others should be tried by a military tribunal at Guantanamo. "He is a war criminal," Rudy Giuliani, who was ...
