neoufo51 Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 http://www.cnn.com/2004/LAW/09/10/wtc.dama...reut/index.html Takes 3 years to do it huh? Oh boy...if anything this will worry the Bush administration since they have so deftly kept blame off the Saudis. Expect this story to die off pretty quickly... :ninja: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digipoi Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 Id be pretty interested in seeing what comes of this. Should be quite entertaining. How would you sue another country though that has different laws than the US? Is that even possible? Not being sarcastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be quite entertaining.How would you sue another country though that has different laws than the US? Is that even possible? Not being sarcastic. The trial would be held in the US, the named Saudis don't necessarily have to be there. Nor to they have to obey any judgement and pay up. I've heard of this happening before but can't recall enough specifics to search on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curme Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 I hope the Saudi's have a good lawyer! Wait a minute, they do! James Baker! Bush Sr's Chief of Staff. W's lawyer for the Florida election (he held the title of "Republican election observer"). Senior Counsel for The Carlyle Group. Appointed by W as envoy, to arrange the restructuring of Iraq's billion dollar debt. Etc. Here in Reality James Baker's law firm defends the Saudis against 9/11 families Everyone does deserve a fair trial, but a member of both past and current Bush administrations shouldn't be the lawyer for a foreign country, against the Port Authority and the families of the victims of 9/11. A slight conflict of interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zzachattack2 Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 Yes i'm also very curious to how any Saudi, who has no affiliation with the US (businesses), is subject to American laws and jurisdiction. If someone from another country tried sueing me, i'd laugh because what makes me subject to their countries judgement and laws. (except in the cases of capital crimes, where international extradition laws would come into effect) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
