Sept. 11 widow sues Saudi Arabia days after Congressional override

I'm a little concerned about the backlash that could come from this. It could open the US Government to suit in other countries for Drone Strikes and covert ops for the "Collateral Damge" caused.
I do think the 9/11 families deserve a way to have members of the Saudi royal Family and Government answer the alleations in a formal setting with possible criminal charges being brought. Just not sure this is the correct way.

    Maybe the US government SHOULD be sued for drone strikes and other killings in places it doesnt belong !!!!

    As to suing Saudi Arabia, its going to be pretty much impossible to win against a government for the 911 strikes. Just too hard to prove.

    If they can afford it, or they have pro bono lawyers, I think it's great. Keep the fact that the Saudis are a bunch of scurrilous weasels to whom 3,000 American deaths are a cause for celebration at the forefront. Perhaps a win could tie up some of their funds here, or maybe they'd settle just to get out of the news. In any case, it might help shine a new light on where Mrs Clinkton gets her money.

    Not sure this bothers me.

    It is not obvious that anybody or any organization should get a pass or free ride on "collateral damage". And for me that would likely have a welcome effect on US foreign policy.
