News Drivers License Issue Gets Attention RALEIGH -- The terrorists who attacked Americans in the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001, killed Peter Gadiel’s 23-year-old son James, among thousands of others. Since then Gadiel has waged a campaign to correct flaws in the nation’s immigration laws, and in many states’ driver license laws. He testified April 24 before the North Carolina Senate Judiciary Committee, saying that the terrorists on Sept. 11 boarded the hijacked airplanes using easily obtained Virginia and Florida licenses as identification. He said their licenses just as easily could have been obtained in North Carolina. Paul Chesser
