They're not liable. But are they responsible? "US Court Rejects Lawsuits Against Prince Naif, Prince Salman and Saudi Charity," from Arab News, with thanks to George:
JEDDAH, 23 September 2005 — The Saudi High Commission for Relief was granted immunity yesterday from litigation in three lawsuits stemming from the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States.US District Judge Richard Casey found that Interior Minister Prince Naif and Riyadh Governor Prince Salman, president of the High Commission, were not personally liable since they were acting as agents of the Saudi government.
The lawsuits had made baseless charges that the High Commission, which had played a big role in the reconstruction of Bosnia, and the princes had sponsored terror with Saudi funds under their direction.
Baseless?
Just another judicial activist doing what they do best - subvert American interests to suit their own misguided agenda.
A Clinton appointee, US District Judge Richard Casey was in the papers recently when he ruled that the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act, was unconstitutional.
This same District Judge, Richard Casey, sided with the ACLU, who was suing on behalf of physician-members of the National Abortion Federation.
Unbelievable!
Terrible.
Hmmm, they seem to have forgotten that Mr. Casey is only in the fourth circuit court of appeals. There are other circuits! What about Pennsylvania, and DC? Do people from say, Georgia or Texas or some other state, have standing to sue in their own federal districts, due to family members lost in 9/11? Or even business lost?
And then there is the Supreme Court.....
When I was a little kid I thought that when people grew up and reached the age of 18 or 21 that they did not lie and would always do the right thing. Yea, it ended up being quite a wake up.
Actually, he did not say they were not guilty. He said that if there was any guilt, it was shared by the Saudi Government, a sovereign entity. If you think about it, that's rather worse.
