#1 "Abu Aliâs family said a U.S. diplomat reported to them that Abu Ali said FBI agents who questioned him threatened to send him to the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba." Let me get this straight: He was being tortured by the Saudis (at the behest of the U.S.) and sending him to a U.S. controlled facility was a 'threat'. You can tell how out of touch (and NOT American) the parents are. No American would consider sending someone to Gitmo (FROM SAUDI) any kind of torture. In fact it would be used as INCENTIVE to get a suspect to cooperate. I hightly suspect that AT Gitmo suspects are told that they will be sent TO Saudi Arabia for questioning if they don't cooperate there.

#2 The family of a 23-year-old Muslim scholar accused of plotting with al-Qaida to kill President Bush said yesterday they want to sue the Bush administration for allowing their sonâs detention and alleged torture in a Saudi prison.

Haaahahaaahahahaaaa, Muslim Logic at its very best.

The U.S. government can't even retrieve kidnapped American children from that place, so how in the phuque are they supposed to stop someone from being tortured in a Saudi prison????

"Slaves of the Americans", my ass.

#3 Lemme see. How does the think this suit will proceed. If the case heard by a jury, fat chance he will get enough jurors with him.

If any federal judge is fool enough to side with him? I think the house will have the "judge" impeached so fast his head would spin faster then Linda Blair spewing green puke.

#4 Ah, the litigation reform needs to be pushed a little harder and faster to prevent these kind of bonehead frivolous lawsuits.

#5 John Q.
I don't think frivolous lawsuits should be prevented. However, I do think the lawyers who take such cases should be fined - a lot. Also the plaintiffs should be fined but typically, such plaintiffs either have no assets or can hide their assets or can protect the assets using other legal means.
