#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."

#2 It is dubious that this woman is a judge.

#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.

#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.

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

#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.
