Uri's chosen one -- September 14, 2009

Pete Gleason has a secret weapon in his campaign for the City Council
-- spoon-bending mentalist Uri Geller. The Israeli celebrity has written a letter for Gleason -- a former cop, firefighter and lawyer hoping to represent the Lower East Side -- extolling his support for the Jewish state. "When many in the world tried to block us from in clusion in the International Red Cross, Pete Gleason supported Israel," Geller wrote. "Pete's personal experience of responding to the World Trade Center on 9/11 taught him how important global cooperation is given our modern-day challenges. He realizes the impor tance of the Israelis' experience with responding to terrorism."
