Families Sue U.S., Reject 9/11 'Bribe'
Ignore Deadline for Compensation

by Tim Harper

WASHINGTON—For some, it's blood money, a repugnant payoff they feel they have no choice but to accept.


For a handful of others, the process of claiming compensation is too painful: they find themselves paralyzed by grief and unable to reopen emotional wounds barely healed from the deaths of their loved ones in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

1. Yeah, just liked they covered Ellen Mariani's RICO suit against Bush Admin

2. I suppose that they too could join the suit against the US gov't, since

On edit--I don't mean to imply a 2nd term is a foregone conclusion, just that IF it happens, it will be a pyrrhic victory for old yellow stain.

3. If he wins in Nov

do you think we will see the fall of another President (ala Nixon)?

4. No,

when Nixon was president the media was more truthful than it is today. When something is questionable in the bush* administration, they just don't talk about it.
