September 11th Fund gives dough to detained Arabs
In an act of breath-taking stupidity, the September 11th Fund, which has raised $337 million, provided a $171,000 grant last month to the Legal Aid Society for "emergency civil legal assistance." The legal group has complained about the treatment of the suspects being detained as security risks in the Special Housing Unit of the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, N.Y. None of the grant money is going for the defense of three detained Arabs whom the Legal Aid Society is representing, a spokeswoman said.
