Lead Story: 9/11 attackers/terrorists go to trial - approx. 6 min 30 sec

I think they choses this story because of how wide of intreats range this is to a lot of Americans. And also because 911 is a on going stori that still has many sides yet to play out.

Tone: The way I saw it, it felt that the anchors we just showing clips of other peoples ideas. They themselves didn't say their own views just presented others. They showed victims of 911 attacks spouses and how they felt about moving a trill to New York and then they just showed the other side and how the trial may backfire in New York because of baises and the torture tactics used against them during there imprisonment.
