They are going after the infrastructure of Bin Ladens organization. His families busineses and the Nation of Sudan are among his greatest contributiors. I see nothing wrong with this.
Originally posted by RideMonkey Its kinda funny - a purely American response. I'm sure the rest of the non-sue-happy rest of the world isn't too worried about this.
My thoughts exactly. In fact, I am embarrassed by it. I am sure the rest of the world sees it as an attempt for the ungodly rich US to get more money. Oh well.
Come on.....you just KNEW someone was going to file a lawsuit eventually. I honestly thought it would be against the owners of the WTC and those companies leasing space in it for providing an unsafe work enviornment or something, or perhaps even OBL himself. I'm kind of surprised they are going after the financial institutions. I'm not sure how you blame a bank for 9/11, but I guess those lawyers have to figure that out.

So answer me this...how the hell can you sue out side of the country? Granted that they will never see this money just the fact that they can sue a government? What if the Saudis just say..."No, were not going to pay". how can an American Judge make a foreign entity pay restitution?
I think thats the biggest crock of BS. If I was Sudan or Saudi Arabia I would tell every last one of them to kiss my ass. Why don't they start suing the US government? Didn't they train him in the first place???
Yeah, $115 trillion is about what most people need just to get by, but $116 trillion is a bit greedy.
In and of itself, I understand the motives and reasons for the lawsuit, and also see nothing wrong with it. However, given the quickly spreading anti-US sentiment abroad, it's fairly obvious how this will be received.

good idea, i'm gonna sue for all the mental anguish of having to put up with all of the "bandwagon patriots" that the attacks have brought out. "maybe if i put 5 flags on my car i'll be a better patriot then mr. jones down the street, he only has 4 flags on his car."
