Justice Dept supporting Saudi Princes over 911 victims
The US Justice Department is supporting the efforts of the Saudi royal family to have five princes removed from a lawsuit filed by the families of Sept. 11 victims. The lawsuit contends that the five princes knew that the charities they were donating to were diverting funds to al Qaeda. The Justice Department contends that the Saudi royal family cannot be sued in a US court.
Odious as it is, this is the correct move. We don't want private lawsuits against foreign countries, we want our government to lean on the Saoodis hard and good. |
