4A – Daily News – Tuesday, March 8, 2011 WORLD BRIEFING After 2-year ban, Obama allows new military terror WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama reversed course Monday and ordered a resumption of military trials for terror sus- pects at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, making his once iron- clad promise to close the isolated prison look even more distant. Guantanamo has been a major political and national security headache for the president since he took office promising to close the prison within a year, a dead- line that came and went without him ever setting a new one. Obama made the change with clear reluc- tance, bowing to the reality that Congress’ vehement opposition to trying detainees on U.S. soil leaves them nowhere else to go. The president emphasized his preference for trials in federal civilian courts, and his administration blamed congressional meddling for closing off that avenue. ‘‘I strongly believe that the American system of jus- tice is a key part of our arse- nal in the war against al- Qaida and its affiliates, and we will continue to draw on all aspects of our justice sys- tem — including (federal) courts — to ensure that our security and our values are strengthened,’’ Obama said in a statement. Walker calls meeting ridiculous MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin Democrats who fled the state nearly three weeks ago asked Mon- day for a meeting with Gov. Scott Walker to talk about changes to his plan to elimi- nate most public workers’ union rights, a request the governor dismissed as ‘‘ridiculous.’’ Walker said he and his administration have been in communication with at least a couple of the AWOL Sen- ate Democrats about a deal that could bring them back, but the lawmaker who asked for the meeting, Senate Minority Leader Mark Miller, ‘‘is firmly standing in the way.’’ That accusation led to a flurry of angry responses from Democrats who said Walker was misrepresenting the talks. The sometimes- angry exchange suggested that any resolution to the stalemate was farther away than ever. ‘‘Right now, I’m so damn mad at his misrepre- sentation of the truth and the public should be as well,’’ said Sen. Bob Jauch, one of two Democrats who had talked last week with the Senate Republican leader about possible compromis- es. ‘‘Trust is completely bro- ken down now. I don’t believe anything he says.’’ The standoff has drawn national attention and placed Wisconsin at the cen- ter a vigorous debate over the future of union rights. Walker’s proposal to bal- ance the state budget remains in limbo because, without the 14 Democrats, the state Senate does not have enough members pre- sent for a quorum. Video shows soaring view from NYC helicopter of burning WTC NEW YORK (AP) — New video has surfaced from the Sept. 11 attacks from a police helicopter hovering near the burning World Trade Center towers in the hope of rescuing sur- vivors from the rooftops, only to find no one there as the buildings topple and smolder. ‘‘The whole tower, it’s gone,’’ one officer is heard yelling. ‘‘Holy crap, they knocked the whole fricking thing down.’’ An officer wonders, ‘‘How could it go down?’’ The video is part of a cache of information from the attack handed over by city agencies to the National Institute of Standards and Technology, the federal agency that investigated the collapse. The video surfaced on several websites Mon- day, but NIST did not know who posted it initially. The 17 minutes of footage shot from a New York Police Department air and sea res- cue chopper shows much of what has already been seen Learning the Wrong Thing Over and Over Does NOT qualify as “Your Family Supermarket” WE ACCEPT FOOD STAMPS NO CARDS REQUIRED FOR EVERYDAY LOW PRICING OR SALE ITEMS WE FEATURE BLACK CANYON ANGUS BEEF Murphy’s Corned Beef Points We appreciate your business - and we show it!

(AP) — A man who lived a Jekyll-and-Hyde lifestyle as he sexually assaulted women from Virginia to Rhode Island over 12 years asked, ‘‘Why haven’t you Crafter’s Boutique Mon.-Fri. 11-5 • Sat 11-3 COME & SHOP 50 CRAFTERS IN 1 SHOP!

Aaron Thomas, 39, wore sunglasses and a baseball cap as he appeared in New Haven Superior Court in Connecticut on a charge of raping a woman in 2007 in her New Haven home in front of her baby. He kept his head cast down through- out the hearing. Prosecutor David Strollo said the unemployed truck driver described himself as having ‘‘a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde’’ personality regard- ing women. Over the weekend, inves- tigators searched a yellow Colonial with blue shutters where neighbors said he lived with his girlfriend and 5-year-old son. Strollo said Thomas made incriminating state- ments about his involve- ment in numerous rapes to a marshal. In addition to ask- ing ‘‘Why haven’t you picked me up sooner?’’ Thomas told investigators, ‘‘What took you so long to get me?’’ Strollo said.
