ONE OF the government’s weapons in the war on terror and the probe into the Sept. 11 attacks was challenged yesterday, when a federal judge said the material witness statute does not allow authorities to detain a witness for a grand jury investigation.
Southern District Judge Shira A. Scheindlin found that the plain words of the statute allow a witness to be detained only after a criminal charge has been brought and a trial is pending.
