Court: U.S. Can Try to Execute Moussaoui
By LARRY MARGASAK, Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON - An appeals court ruled Monday that the government can seek to execute Zacarias Moussaoui if he is convicted on terror charges but said he must be given fair access to al-Qaida witness statements that might support his defense.
Related Links • U.S. v. Zacarias Moussaoui (FindLaw)
Moussaoui, the only U.S. defendant charged with crimes related to the Sept. 11 attacks, contends he had no role in planning the hijackings, and at least three high al-Qaida officials in custody can reinforce that claim.
Frank Dunham Jr., the federal public defender representing Moussaoui, declined to comment on the ruling. Attorney General John Ashcroft (news - web sites) called the ruling a victory for the government, saying it "once again affirms our belief that the government can provide Zacarias Moussaoui with a fair trial while still protecting national security interests."
The court said crafting witness statements for the jury must be "an interactive process" among the trial judge, Brinkema, Moussaoui's lawyers and prosecutors.
Further, the jury must be informed that the substitutions are "what the witnesses would say if called to testify."
The majority opinion was written by 4th Circuit Chief Judge William W. Wilkins. Judge Karen J. Williams concurred, while Judge Roger L. Gregory dissented in part. Gregory repeated a view that without full access to the witnesses, the death penalty should be barred from the case.

U.N. to Deliver Aid to Haiti After Floods
By AMY BRACKEN, Associated Press Writer
GONAIVES, Haiti - Bodies lay in growing piles outside morgues as U.N. peacekeepers planned the first major distribution of food and water Wednesday in this city devastated by floods that have torn apart families and left hungry crowds that have mobbed truckloads of aid.
The death toll from deluges unleashed by Tropical Storm Jeanne climbed to the more than 700, Haitian officials said Tuesday, with more than 600 of them in Gonaives alone. More than 1,000 others were declared missing. Jeanne, meanwhile, regained hurricane strength over the open Atlantic this week and could head back toward the United States and threaten the storm-battered Southeast coast, including Florida, as early as this weekend, forecasters said Wednesday. It was too soon to tell where or if Jeanne would hit, but the National Hurricane Center (news - web sites) in Miami warned it could kick up dangerous surf and rip currents along islands in the northwest and central Bahamas and along the southeastern U.S. coast over the next few days. Relatives waited outside a morgue set up in the flood-damaged General Hospital all day to identify and bury victims. But vehicles to carry bodies to the cemetery never arrived. Most bodies remained unidentified.
Red Cross volunteers put more than 100 bodies into body bags, leaving them in a pile outside the morgue. "We're going to start burying people in mass graves," said Toussaint Kongo-Doudou, a spokesman for the U.N. peacekeeping mission in Haiti. Renel Corvil, a 32-year-old farmer, said he had come to the morgue every day since Saturday to look for his four missing children. On Tuesday, he found them. But after waiting all day for bodies to be taken to the cemetery, he left to bury a fifth child that already had been transported to the graveyard. As they waited, survivors exchanged tales. "Everyone in my neighborhood who survived had climbed a tree," Corvil said.
"Certainly there are more than 700 dead, certainly there are dozens more dead," Deslorges told the AP. "It appears many were swept away to the sea, there are bodies still buried in mud and rubble, or floating in water, and that's not to mention the hundreds who are missing and the places we have not yet been able to reach." Some 1,056 people were missing, almost all from Gonaives, Deslorges said. Deslorges said some 250,000 people were homeless across the country, and the storm destroyed at least 4,000 homes and damaged unknown thousands more. Eight helicopters from a Brazilian-led U.N. peacekeeping force shuttled shipments of water, food and supplies to Gonaives on Tuesday after Chilean troops found the road from the north impassable, said Argentine Lt. Col. Gaston Irigoyen, a spokesman. Interim President Boniface Alexandre pleaded for urgent emergency help at the U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday. Several nations were sending aid, including $1.8 million from the European Union (news - web sites) and $1 million and rescue supplies from Venezuela. The U.S. Embassy announced $60,000 in immediate relief aid Monday, drawing criticism from legislator Kendrick Meek, D-Fla., who called it "a drop in the bucket." Irigoyen said troops planned to oversee distribution of food and water on Wednesday. That could produce a riot among survivors, many of whom said they had not eaten since the storm. A police officer in Gonaives said aid vehicles were having trouble getting into the city because people were mobbing them. One truck made it to the central City Hall, only to be attacked by people who squeezed inside and threw packets of water into the scrambling crowd. Jeanne came four months after devastating floods along Haiti's southern border with the Dominican Republic. Some 1,700 bodies were recovered and 1,600 more were presumed dead. Last week, Jeanne killed seven in Puerto Rico and 19 in Dominican Republic, including 12 who drowned Monday in swollen rivers. The overall death toll was 717. ___
White House - AP Cabinet & State Airlines Told to Turn Over Passenger Data
By LESLIE MILLER, Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON - Information on passengers who took a commercial flight within the United States in June will be turned over to the government so it can test a new system for identifying potential terrorists.
A previous plan was met with an overwhelmingly negative response. The proposed system, which cost $103 million, would have assigned a risk level to all airline passengers based on comparisons of their names with commercial databases. That plan was scrapped because of privacy concerns and technological issues.
Now, the Transportation Security Administration hopes to learn from its experience. The agency is pledging to protect passengers' privacy and taking steps to make sure the system is technologically feasible. Privacy advocates and the airlines are skeptical.
"There are many people who are still going to find themselves in no-fly hell," said Barry Steinhardt, director of the technology and liberty program at the American Civil Liberties Union (news - web sites).
The TSA plans to order air carriers to turn over the information in November. Passenger names will be checked against watch lists maintained by the Terrorist Screening Center, which is administered by the FBI (news - web sites), as part of a new screening system called "Secure Flight."
