Mariani has refused to accept money from the Victims Compensation Fund. Instead, she filed suit in federal court against United Airlines and Huntleigh USA Corp., accusing them of failing to protect her husband from the terrorist hijacking. That suit was filed in the Southern District of New York.
She also filed a racketeering lawsuit last year in federal court in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, accusing President Bush and top members of his administration of knowing such hijackings were imminent, but failing to prevent them for personal and political gain.
"Ellen's not looking for money," he said. "She's looking for truth."

I'm amazed they reported it but not amazed at HOW they reported it.
The report that she's filed a RICO suit against Bush (historic event) like..."Ho Hum and yes, by the way she filed this lawsuit."
I know we're lucky they covered it at all but it just really bothers me because the HAVE TO be being told to play things down. You just would not report this event in this tone if unfettered.
