The federal judge overseeing litigation between the city and workers at ground zero on Friday rejected a settlement reached by the two sides, telling lawyers that it did not provide enough compensation to plaintiffs and needed to be renegotiated under his supervision.
The decision by Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein, in a hearing in United States District Court in Manhattan, came only a week after the settlement was announced after six years of legal maneuvering. It provided for payouts of $575 million to $657.5 million in cases filed by some 10,000 rescue and cleanup workers who say they suffered health damages from toiling at ground zero after the 2001 terrorist attack.
"This is no ego trip for me,” Judge Hellerstein told a packed but hushed courtroom moments after hearing emotional testimony from some of the plaintiffs. "This is work. I will preside over a process that’s fair.”

If bin Laden is found, he'll be killed, Holder says
Osama bin Laden "will never appear in an American courtroom," Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. told House members at a hearing Tuesday.
"Let's deal with the reality here," Holder said in response to questions from Rep. John Culberson (R-Tex.). "The reality is, we will be reading Miranda rights to a corpse."
TVNL Comment: Imagine that? Imagine wanting to kill the person who is supposedly the most valuable source of information in the world when it comes to defending our nation. Imagine not wanting to "torture" information out of him. This is a CLEAR smoking gun that this man had nothing to do with 9/11 and the US can not have him make any public statements. Go to the FBI website and look at the most wanted list. Find bin Laden there and notice that he is not wanted for the crimes of 9/11. We wrote about this years ago and the FBI had to make a public statement saying that the reason he is not listed as being wanted for 9/11 is because they have no evidence linking him to the event. Now imagine saying that you are going to kill someone for a crime that your own criminal athorities can not link him to. This is called silencing the witness.

The Peace Movement Versus the 9/11Truth Movement
There is a split, but it has not been initiated, nor is it maintained, by members of the 9/11Truth movement. Truthers stand just as proudly and tall in their opposition to war as anyone in the peace movement. Truthers also are just as fully dedicated to the goals of justice, equality and environmentalism as are anti-war activists.
