  • U.S. court rules Saudi Arabia immune in 9/11 case

    Reuters
    Thursday, Aug 14, 2008

    The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, four princes and other Saudi entities are immune from a lawsuit filed by victims of the September 11 attacks and their families alleging they gave material support to al Qaeda, a federal appeals court ruled on Thursday.

    The ruling by the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan upheld a 2006 ruling by U.S. District Judge Richard Casey dismissing a claim against Saudi Arabia, a Saudi charity, four princes and a Saudi banker of providing material support to al Qaeda before the September 11 attacks.

    The victims and their families argued that because the defendants gave money to Muslim charities that in turn gave money to al Qaeda, they should be held responsible for helping to finance the attacks.

    (Article continues below)

    The appeals court found that the defendants are protected under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act.

    The court also noted that exceptions to the immunity rule do not apply because Saudi Arabia has not been designated a state sponsor of terrorism by the U.S. State Department.

      WTF!

    2. RayB Says:

      That was my statement.

    3. Chunfla Burlbe Says:

      Bush and his ghoulish father, cheny, condensed Rice and the rest of the cadaverous vultures working for the House of Saudi, were always going to protect their corrupt raghead bosses.Everybody knows the entire Bin Laden family of over 60 in number were flown out of the country, hours after 911 when every single thing with wings was not allowed to even jump up. As Bart simpson was taught and Bush sang that day to’ Eat my Sh!ts commoner’

    4. Tucker Says:

      it is because the Saudi’s control 17% of our economy

    5. ReyesBlaque Says:

      Umm, well I paid income taxes that year, which the government probably used in some connection with 9/11, does that mean I can be sued?? Fucking idiots, they should look for culprits a lot closer than Saudi Arabia

    6. XuN Says:

      WTF!

    7. Neo Bagration Says:

      The rule of law is for whom? Oh yes, it’s for us, not them.

      So the police in this country protect and serve the Saudi royal family more than they do you.

      Hahahaha! Great country. Corporation that is.

    8. David S Says:

      According to the 911 report none of the 911 hijackers were from Iraq. But 14 of the 19 hijackers were from Saudi Arabia, and Bin Laden is from Saudi Arabia. So we attack Iraq and grant immunity to Saudi Arabia. How does that make sense?
      How does that even come close to making sense?

    9. Euphemism king Says:

      David It’s not suppose to make sense. We wouldn’t want anything to make sense now would we? To begin with how do you really know for sure that Bin Laden was a part of this? The evidence overwhelmingly points to an inside job & yet it has been business as usual with the criminal puppets we have at the helm. If you actually believe the so called official 9-11 report I know of some beach front in Denver you can get real cheap. (that too may be a reality soon enough)
      Check this out and then ask yourself again why nothing in the main stream doesn’t make sense.

      someone should sue cheney, afterall he was in charge of norad that morning, and he has continued to reep the profits from his former corporation even though he is on national television stating that he was going to forfeit any and all benefits from his former employers as due to the ‘conflict of interest’. i would thing that some sharp attorney would be able to make this stick, as they did with “oj”. although, finding a judge that would actually preside fairly over a trial might be tough to find.
      anyway, nothing surprising in this article.
      i think chunfla burble hit the nail on the head. this administration is employed and owned by the saudis. the bushes have been sucking up to their asses for years. such greed is disgusting and pathetic.

    11. Dick Tracy Says:

      Saddam Hussein could no longer be bought by the USA & the Saudis aways can.

    12. truth to power Says:

      Interesting comments of course the US courts aren’t going to rule against the Saudi elites, because Bush senior is the portflio manager for their interest in the Carlye group. The elite investment class is ruling this country behind the scenes. They have used the CIA and the Defense Industrial Complex to destroy all democraticly elected goverments all over the world. The United states is a shell of its former self.The neo-con elites used 911 as a pretext to invade Iraq,to destabilize Iraq and attempt to control it’s resources and estiblish perminate military bases in the region. They are stealing billions of dollars from the country and enriching themselves through War and Profiteering, They don’t care about the country,its citizens are the constiution. This country had stopped being a democracy and become a plutocracy. The corporate Press is controlled by the CIA and only spreads disinformation lies and propaganda to a Dum-down american Public. Their has been a War going on at home for decades, our brightest citizens have been murdered in the name of keeping the status quo. Operations like Paperclip, Artichoke, Mockingbird Chaos, Cointellpro, MK-ultra were used and are being use as Psychological warfare,chemical warfare, biowarfare, econonmic warfare on minorites and activists . Isreal controls our foreign policy, spys on the US and influences our domestic elections. If you want to know who has the Weapons of Mass destruction we need to start with Israel, they have attacked Iran, Syria, Lebanon and the U.S. don’t forget about the USS Liberty. They have stolen the Land from the Palestinians and have them living on their own land under occupation, terror, apartheid. This is what your tax dollars go to support.

    13. MARIA Says:

      Of course…….what did they expect. Daddy Bush and Baby Bush are best friends with the Arabs, are you kidding. Didn’t you see the picture of Bush holding hands with the King. That was really priceless.

    14. Nephtys Says:

      But of course, the “supposed hijackers” were from there……..!!!!!???

    15. Deliverance Says:

      Didn’t see that one coming. Fuckin A

    16. Giant Shadows Says:

      nobody is accountable for 911, except for dead ass osama.
      but look at everybody who gets rich and the power it brings to those, only by coincedence of course.
      both bushes kiss the saudis on the mouth, let alone hold hands. they strap on yamikas in israel and kiss aipacs ass to get elected.
      9 billion more to israel, millions more for saudis, all at the USA taxpayers expense..
      time to toss some tea into the harbor andbring back America from the fascist bastards..
      you do not have to accept any of this-

    21. Eddie Says:

      Reply to Nephtys: First of all Kurds are not Arab, and they are not considered among the Muslim Population, because the Majority of the Kurds are either seculars or Satanic.
      Second of all the Website you refered to it as your reference is known for being Pro-Jewish and anti Arab Muslims.
      And for a counrty that legalized the horse to fuck your wife, and you to suck a dog dick, you can expect everything to come out of it.

    22. Eddie Says:

      to Nephtys:
      I don’t think there is one evidence that Muslims are trying to rule the United states, not even an attempt, they are thousands of miles away. BUT the zionists are the ones who are considered the big danger here in the United states, and I am affraid that they post a real threat because there are tons of evidence to prove this fact, unlike yours which seems to be a repeat to what Faux News is promoting.

      no disrespect but the correct statement is “all animals are created equal except some are more equal than others”
      nothing has changed in 5,000 years of human development.
      90% of people see the authority as truth,and not the other way round.
      i live in hope one y these criminals will be brought to justice.

    29. Just the tip Says:

      Why should they receive immunity if they didn’t do anything wrong? What “evidence” was presented? Learning anything may be the biggest fear. Read this article I found and studied which may explain why no one wants any case to go to trial regarding 911. If anything this example below may help the Saudi’s:

      After 6 years of research I am unable to find a single piece of verifiable evidence of any kind that any of the 4 planes existed on 911. Nothing. I am willing to take a single speck if I can verify it. To this date…..nothing.

      Out of 250+ victims on the “planes” totaling tens of thousands of family members…..only ONE person has ever come forward to question 911. ONE….and that poor woman has been brutalized and threatened every day since doing so.

      By exposing that there were no planes on 911….you expose something much greater. Trillions of dollars in business are at stake should it become common knowledge that there were no planes. The media itself would be criminally liable, not to mention the “War on Terror, government, agencies, law enforcement, witnesses, videographers who doctored their films days after 911, insurance fraud into the 100’s of Billions etc. Just the mere mention of no planes will have you thrown out of even the most open minded meetings on 911.

      The US government has said it has recovered 95% of the plane debris from Shanksville PA. That’s great. Now can anyone on the planet verify a single speck in any way shape or form? NO….and that is a direct order from the White House. There are rumors that the WH then ordered the debris destroyed just like every speck from the Pentagon and every speck of debris from ground zero….ALL of it has been destroyed.

      There were no planes on 911. What does it mean? And how many in the Bush regime have profited from this lie? There are many great videos on 911 and no planes at this site: http://www.documentarywire.com/a-z-list/
