Couldn't private citizens try 911 in a civil suit?
A la the OJ Simpson civil suit?

Cover all of the topics that the 911 commish conveniently failed to investigate? Put options, PNAC, etc...

I'd like to see that happen.

1. I think not. bush foked them up......
If 911 families took 911 compensation money, they had no right to sue and they had to signed legal papers drawned up by bush and cronies. Those who didn't take the money are holding the government's feet to the fire. The time to claim 911 money ran out for them. Where's the rest of the 911 compensation money? Nobody knows.

Standby: The Jersey girls will not give an inch and they may be the ones filing suit against bush/cheney/911 commission, etc. That will be sweet.

We might call it the lawsuit the U.S. media forgot to tell us about, because — although the suit was filed here in the U.S. and although it was filed by the widow of a man killed on 9/11/2001 and although it was filed against the president of the most powerful country on earth — you had to go to New Zealand to read about it.

Ellen Mariani is suing the Bush-Cheney-Ashcroft gang, accusing them of having knowledge and warnings of 9/11 and of failing to warn or take steps to prevent the tragedy. The lawsuit, being handled by Philip J. Berg, former Deputy Attorney General of Pennsylvania, further alleges that the Bush crowd has been covering up the truth of 9/11.

The complaint is filed in the form of a RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations)Act, alleging that Defendant Dick Cheney (as one example only) holds 433,333 Halliburton stock options, valued currently at over $26,674,990. (Source: Ohio Rep. Marcy Kaptur, Congressional Record, October 29, 2003)

5. Ah, the Mariani thing...
Yes, it'll be interesting to see how that turns out.
