Terrorism Cases To Bring New Scrutiny To N.Y. Court

The federal courthouse in Manhattan has seen a series of high-profile terrorism cases before now, but the trial of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and the other Guantanamo detainees will be the most scrutinized by far. Melissa Block talks about some of the legal obstacles to come with Joshua Dratel, a consultant with the ACLU's John Adams Project, which fought on behalf of Guantanamo detainees to get their cases transferred out of military court.

Sept. 11 Cases Move From Military To Civilian Courts

The Justice Department has decided to try the alleged mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks in New York. Until now, military commissions at the Guantanamo Naval Base have been handling the legal case against Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, who has admitted to planning the attacks. Now, the Obama administration will hand the case to the federal criminal courts.

FDA Calls For Proof Of Alcohol-Caffeine Drinks' Safety

State attorneys general and consumer health groups have criticized the federal government for not regulating the small but fast-growing market of caffeinated alcoholic drinks.

Ohio Changes Executions After Botched Attempt

Are Fans Impressed By Rappers' Criminal Cred?

Catholic Bishops' Lobby A Force On The Hill
