Governor Paterson Objects to KSM Being Tried in NYC

Gov. Paterson: 9/11 mastermind Kalid Shaikh Mohammed shouldn't be tried on NY soil, near ground zero

Gov. Paterson on Monday joined the chorus of critics questioning the government's plan to try Kalid Shaikh Mohammed and four other accused 9/11 terrorists in New York.

"This is not a decision that I would have made," the governor said when asked about the upcoming federal trial of KSM and his four underlings.

"Our country was attacked on its own soil on Sept. 11, 2001, and New York was very much the epicenter of that attack," Paterson said after an appearance at a groundbreaking ceremony for a new CUNY campus in East Harlem.

"Over 2,700 lives were lost," he went on. "It's very painful; we're still having trouble getting over it. We still haven't been able to rebuild that site, and having those terrorists tried so close to the attack is going to be an encumbrance on all of New Yorkers."

CNN was so sick of Lou Dobbs, it gave him an $8 million severance package to leave, The Post has learned.

"They wanted him out," according to a source.

Dobbs, who a source said had a year and a half to go on his $12 million contract, shocked viewers last Wednesday by announcing he was quitting.

Stimulus Not Doing Much for Michigan

Posted by Defend America on Monday, November 16, 2009 12:52:41 PM

FREE PRESS SPECIAL REPORT

Billions for state, but where are jobs?

Majority of stimulus awards have brought little help

BY TODD SPANGLER
FREE PRESS WASHINGTON STAFF

WASHINGTON -- Seven months into the massive federal stimulus program, the vast majority of government grants, contracts and loans in Michigan so far have created or retained virtually no jobs, a Free Press analysis shows.

The analysis also revealed that others who have been promised or have received stimulus money have overstated -- in some cases greatly -- the number of jobs created or protected.

Obama administration and state officials say it's too early to draw conclusions about the overall impact of the $787-billion nationwide program to stimulate the economy and generate jobs. They promise that job growth will follow as more funding arrives.

GM to Spend Bailout Money Overseas?

Will GM Spend Taxpayer Bailout Money on Overseas Operations?

U.S. Operations Received $50 Billion in Taxpayer Funds -- And Now May Send Millions of Dollars Overseas

By JAKE TAPPER and MATTHEW JAFFE
SHANGHAI, CHINA, Nov. 16, 2009

 At a meeting with President Obama Monday morning, Communist Party Secretary Yu Xheng Sheng told the U.S. president how well General Motors' Chinese division was doing.

...

Specifically, at a time when the nation's unemployment rate has soared to levels not seen in decades and GM is cutting thousands of U.S. jobs, the company's CEO is considering spending millions from its U.S. coffers -- fattened by $50 billion in taxpayer aid -- on its overseas operations, a possibility that has outraged critics and lawmakers.

Supporters of Iran’s regime have desecrated the grave of Neda Soltan, the student who became a symbol of the opposition after she was shot dead during an anti-goverment demonstration on June 20.

The incident was confirmed by Ms Soltan’s fiancé, Caspian Makan, who fled from Iran after being released on bail following 65 days in prison. A recording of Ms Soltan’s mother weeping and cursing those responsible has been posted on the internet.
