| #7 The Imans may regret their case is going to discovery. One of the problems they face is that if they lie and the lie is proved, they lose big. |

| #6 Tell me again how USA is different from EUrope, and how significant the Jihadi casualties in Iraq/Afghanistan are. |

| #5 Any discovery in this case had damn well better have wide enough latitude to drive a Mack truck through it. Some of these thugs come from one of the oldest and most well established al Qaeda cells in North America. |

| #4 "The ruling is preliminary, but it gives a public relations victory to the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), which has backed the imams' claims and provided legal support" Not! The burden for dismissal in all civil suits is intentionally set at a high threshold. Judging from the comments it appears that the Airline isn't looking for a "settlement". How much lattitude in the Discovery process the judge allows should be interesting. |

| #1 Link busted. Try this. U.S. District Judge Ann Montgomery (A Clinton appointee, perhaps?)wrote that "it is dubious that these facts would lead a reasonable person to conclude that plaintiffs were about to interfere with the crew of Flight 300." |
