9/11 Families 'Ecstatic' They Can Finally Sue Saudi Arabia

"SNIP....................................



Families of the victims of the Sept. 11 attacks today celebrated a federal court's ruling that allows relatives of people who died in the 9/11 terror attacks to sue Saudi Arabia.

Most of the hijackers who attacked the World Trade Center and the Pentagon in 2001 were from Saudi Arabia, and the complaint states that much of the funding for the al-Qaeda terrorists came from Saudi Arabia.

An attempt to Saudi Arabia in 2002 was blocked by a federal court ruling that said the kingdom had sovereign immunity. That ruling was reversed Thursday by a three-judge federal panel.

"I'm ecstatic.... For 12 years we've been fighting to expose the people who financed those bastards," said William Doyle, the father of Joseph Doyle, 25, a Cantor-Fitzgerald employee who was killed in the North Tower of the World Trade Center.

1. Wow! thanks applegrove.. that

took awhile.

"Sovereign immunity".. holy crap!

[bananas]

2. Did this make it to LBN?

The article is dated "Dec 20, 2013, 11:34 AM"
I don't remember seeing it.

3. I just saw it today on Reddit and thought it is important. Important for the Saudis

to be very afraid of anyone taking part in such terrorism again. Part of me wonders if the bad relations between the USA and the Saudis right now isn't because more information is coming out that some high level Saudis participated in 9/11.

4. Interesting.

Does this allow ALL survivors to sue? Even the ones that took money in the beginning?

[rurallib]

5. finally!

[Arkana]

6. Well, considering that 15 of the 19 hijackers were Saudis...

[Egalitarian Thug]

7. K&R I hope this gets somewhere. n/t

[2banon]

8. Friggin' AWESOME!!

Sheesh, I missed the previous ruling of "no standing" due to sovereign immunity.. wow. incredible. corrupted justices or what!

Good on them for sticking it out for the long haul and finally getting to this outcome. That's just step one. Now for the onslaught of various motions to dismiss, or block evidence to fight and overcome.

More Power to these families! And the let the sunlight in. Oh, gee wonder when and if M$M will take notice and give it the attention it deserves?

Not holding my breath.

[freshwest]

9. Go for it. Call out the frauds. n/t

[firsttimer]

10. What ever judgment there is if any will be paid by the US.government

We will pay it not the Saudis.
Our government will do anything to keep what really happened secret.
We as in our government, will not alienate the Saudi royal family.

They won't pay a dime , if there is a monetary judgment
it will come from us and we will be lead to believe the Saudi Royal family paid it

[skydive forever]

11. But, but, I thought

the Iraqis were behind 9/11

[VPStoltz]

12. How about Darth and The Shrub next?

[FailureToCommunicate]

13. Would'nt that be nice!

[Kingofalldems]

14. Ann Coulter not liking this one.

[Berlum]

15. Sue the Saudis and the Republicons

Both guilty.

[BlueEye]

16. Wasn't Bush in a meeting with a high level Saudi official

the week before the attack or something? People should sue his ass too.

[alfredo]

20. His dad was doing business with the bin Ladens. Shrub's first business was finance by

Salem bin Laden.

[Berlum]

24. Yup - Poppy 'Skull & Boner' Bush (R) met with the bin Ladens the day before 9/11

Republicons - Ya really gotta wonder...

According to the Washington Post, the Carlyle Group met at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in NYC one day before 9/11. In attendance at this meeting were former president George H. W. Bush and Shafiq bin Laden, the brother of Osama:

The Carlyle Group is a large private-equity investment firm, closely associated with officials of the Bush and Reagan administrations, and has considerable ties to Saudi oil money, including ties to the bin Laden family.

This morning [September 10, 2001] it is holding its annual investor conference at the Ritz Carlton hotel in Washington, DC. Among the guests of honor is investor Shafig bin Laden, brother of Osama bin Laden. [Observer, 6/16/2002; London Times, 5/8/2003] Former President George H. W. Bush, who makes speeches on behalf of the Carlyle Group and is also senior adviser to its Asian Partners fund [Wall Street Journal, 9/27/2001] , attended the conference the previous day, but is not there today (see (8:00 a.m.) September 11, 2001).

Chillin with Poppy 'Skull & Boner Bush (R) with his main man, Bandar Bush (R):

[rickyhall]

17. Just too bad

for the two innocent countries we totally fucked over it, huh?

[KoKo]

18. Do you have current link for this? Many of us Readers have not seen this News Story!

If true and verified...it's good news, indeed!

[raccoon]

19. Well, if that's the case I don't see why civilians in other countries killed by US drones

can't sue the USA.

[malaise]

21. About time

This is huge

[calimary]

22. About Damn Time!!!!

Seems to me this would be the best and most healing way to make good use of all that Saudi oil money. Don't send the ever-expanding and quite dubiously-sourced royal family to the front rows at the Paris fashion shows. Use it to compensate the families of the 9/11 victims - who died from a terrorist act that the Saudis bankrolled and in which 15 of them participated directly.

Those families shouldn't have to be made to suffer all over again.

23. An attempt to Saudi Arabia ???
