ALEXANDRIA, Virginia (CNN) -- Prosecutors asked a judge to rethink granting 9/11 families suing airlines access to evidence gathered for the criminal case against al Qaeda terrorist Zacarias Moussaoui.

Prosecutors called the order "unprecedented" and urged Brinkema to withdraw it. The motion was filed by Chuck Rosenberg, the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia.

Brinkema's order would allow the families' attorneys access to "highly sensitive" law enforcement documents and could compromise the continuing investigation into the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. The inquiry is "the largest criminal investigation in our nation's history, which is still ongoing," the motion says.

"This order will likely provoke negative consequences for numerous criminal cases in the future," prosecutors said. Rosenberg requested a May 19 hearing.

1. "Continuing investigation of the 9/11/01 attacks"????

Like the public can EVER expect to know the truth ... Another roadblock conveniently thrown up.

[TexasLawyer]

8. continuing investigation--

yeah-- what EVER are they talking about? If anything these documents could jumpstart some real inquiries.

Maybe that's what they are afraid of.

2. One can only hope that by this

"This order will likely provoke negative consequences for numerous criminal cases in the future," prosecutors said.

they mean Bush et al

Edited to add: and what the hell do they mean "ongoing investigation"??? As IF.

[Marnieworld]

what investigation?

Who exactly is doing this investigation? I thought that the 9/11 commission, now concluded, was the only investigation. I thought that it was the only one considering how hard it was to get any investigation started. So who is doing the investigation and why isn't it completed yet? When the investigation is completed will we get another trial or report? Why would there be an investigation with no discernable result?

3. dupe

[Rex]

4. Yeah right, like the BFEE is still investigating 911!

They buried the evidence as fast as humanly possible! So 911....it is now a crime, what a revelation! Does that mean we can bring the troops home now?

[toymachines]

5. the thirty year investigation

that is their favorite excuse, cant comment on an ongoing investigation...

[AlCzervik]

6. i think the families that are suing the airlines are the ones who opted

out of taking a settlement from the 9/11 fund so i would think that their lawyers would be able to get everything through the discovery process which the government will of course drag out for decades in court.

[Copperred]

7. The tails are wider than we thought....

I hate to say it...but the most far out explanation is probably that.

It does happen...once in a blue moon.

[screembloodymurder]

9. The FBI is in China

going thru the debris.

ALEXANDRIA, Virginia (CNN) -- Prosecutors asked a judge to rethink granting 9/11 families suing airlines access to evidence gathered for the criminal case against al Qaeda terrorist Zacarias Moussaoui.

U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema's April 7 order requires prosecutors to provide copies of all unclassified aviation security documents to attorneys representing September 11 families in a civil lawsuit pending in New York.

Prosecutors called the order "unprecedented" and urged Brinkema to withdraw it. The motion was filed by Chuck Rosenberg, the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia.

Brinkema's order would allow the families' attorneys access to "highly sensitive" law enforcement documents and could compromise the continuing investigation into the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. The inquiry is "the largest criminal investigation in our nation's history, which is still ongoing," the motion says.

11. The investigation is still 'ongoing'? Why, don't we have 19 (including

Moussaoui) names? Or is someone really looking into the MIHOP/LIHOP possibilities?

I didn't think so. Case closed. Let these people have the files.

[Old and In the Way]

12. It will be "ongoing" as long as this administration can maintain control

of the government. Then the files will get accidently shredded, burned, and the ashes spread on the Crawford back 40.

13. Americans should be ashamed that we've let this crap continue ...
