'Till Death Do Us Part


In Georgia a man awaits a decision about whether or not he will be placed on death row, for a fourth time.  Troy Davis, convicted for the murder of a Savannah police officer in 1991 has been on death row three times.

His guilt has come into serious question in the last week before his scheduled execution on Wednesday. 7 of the 9 witnesses have recanted their testimony against Davis.  There was also no murder weapon ever found.

While protesters rallied outside the Georgia Board of Pardons and Paroles, the mother of the dead cop, Anneliese MacPhail remains stoically convinced of Davis' guild.  "I'm not out after blood," she told CNN, "I'm after justice."
The Board met today to determine Davis' fate.

Ten Years Later


Ten years later, the nation gathers at Ground Zero, the Pentagon and Shanksville, Pennsylvania to remember the nearly three thousand people lost.

Despite the uncertainty, the panic and the chaos, America rebuilt and recovered.

We must remember that it was Al Qaeda, not the government, or Muslims as a whole who killed so many.  In the years since 9/11, everyone has felt the tightened security and the loss of peace, especially innocent Muslims.

Now, however, some peace may return, and some hatred may dwindle.  In May of this year, the man who organized the world's most terrible terrorist attacks, Osama Bin Laden, was killed by Navy Seal Team Six.
