Widow Brings RICO Case Against US Government for Sept. 11

As the National Commission on Terrorists Attacks Upon the U.S., also known as the 9/11 Commission, completed its first year, Ellen Mariani and her attorney held a press conference on the steps of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania to announce her own startling conclusions. Mariani, wife of Louis Neil Mariani, who died when terrorists flew United Airlines Flight 175 into the World Trade Center's south tower, had come to believe that top American officials--including Bush, Cheney, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and others--had foreknowledge of the attacks, purposefully failed to prevent them and had since taken pains to cover up the truth.

The administration, she argues in a federal lawsuit, allowed Sept. 11 to happen so that Bush and company could launch their seemingly endless, global "war on terror" for their own personal and financial gain. The suit uses the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act, a law created to go after the Mafia, to charge the nation's leaders with conspiracy, obstruction of justice and wrongful death.

Her lawyer, Philip J. Berg, a former deputy attorney general of Pennsylvania, filed a 62-page complaint that included 40 pages of evidence. "Compelling evidence will be presented in this case through discovery, subpoena power by this court, and testimony at trial," he wrote in a press release sent to 3,000 print and broadcast journalists announcing the lawsuit and a press conference on the court steps that day.

At the very least, the case presents the potential to uncover and publicize critical documents and testimony about the Bush administration's handling of the al-Qaeda threat and its aftermath. But only Fox News showed up to the press conference, and it never ran anything on the topic.
