"9/11 Wrongful-Accusation Suit Settled"

"9/11 Wrongful-Accusation Suit Settled": Friday's edition of The New York Times will contain an article that begins, "The United States government has paid $250,000 to settle a lawsuit by an Egyptian man who had been wrongly suspected of assisting the 9/11 hijackers with a two-way aviation radio that a security guard claimed was found in the man's hotel room overlooking the World Trade Center."

And The Associated Press reports that "FBI pays wrongly detained Egyptian man $250,000."

In addition, the November 5, 2007 installment of my "On Appeal" column for law.com was headlined "Court Learns Best Way to Keep a Secret Is Not by Posting It on the Internet."
