We have all seen all the razz-a – ma-tazz (what a great word) that has been flying all over the media…the back slapping by the Prez and his boyz and all the pouting and whining by the past prez’s gang of 10 or more…..everyone is taking credit for the death of Osama….or everyone WANTS the credit for the death, to be used as a political weapon later….which strikes me as humorous anyway…but what about the Reppubs in the House that REFUSE to issue an commendation to the unit that actually killed the man? You see it would have to acknowledge that it was on Obama’s watch that we tasted success and the GOP cannot have that!
All that is just intro to a story….a lawsuit may well be in the making over the death of OBL….this from Jonathan Turley’s blog……
Omar bin Laden, bin Laden’s fourth eldest son, has allegedly issued a statement that calls the killing of his father as a “criminal” act and a humiliation for his family. Notably, he indicated the possibility of a lawsuit against the United States.The letter stated, in part: “We hold the American President (Barack) Obama legally responsible to clarify the fate of our father, Osama bin Laden, for it is unacceptable, humanely and religiously, to dispose of a person with such importance and status among his people, by throwing his body into the sea in that way, which demeans and humiliates his family and his supporters and which challenges religious provisions and feelings of hundreds of millions of Muslims.”
There are international principles that could be raised, including the statements by Pakistan that (despite conflicting statements from Obama Administration officials) they never approved the attack on Pakistani territory. Under U.S. common law, there are also obvious legal principles, including the mistreatment of corpses. However, the success of such a lawsuit in the United States is extremely doubtful. Since this was a foreign operation and involved foreign citizens, the jurisdiction of the courts would be hard to establish. Moreover, there is no legal requirement under U.S. law for the retention of these bodies and the disposal would be viewed as reasonable.
See…if this continues….then maybe they should have taken Shakespeare’s advice and “Kill All The Lawyers”……
OK, people sound off!
This is just plain silly! It’s fun to watch those who were not involved demand credit, while the enemy of the US blames our current president. Barrack Obama is one hell of a sleeper agent huh.
But if there is a lawsuit and after last Sunday’s “mutual Admiration” of the ex-Bushies….maybe Omar should consider a lawsuit against GW since he is the one that deserves the credit……
Oh – just tell them all to go f*ck themselves! Boring assholes!
Agreed! I still have not seen this anywhere in the MSM….you would think that someone would be all over this to show AQ is such an a/hole thing….but not yet….
It clearly doesn’t suit THEIR agenda – whatever that is…
You know I still have not figured that out just yet…their agenda that is….is the media up to something? I think ….yes!
Yes the media is up to something. They are up to their necks in useless bullshit. Too bad they cant sniff out a story.
Im afraid i have an answer for you as well Quin if it is the media agendas in question. THEIR agenda is selling advertisements via commercial spots. I learn more about the gas mileage of Volkswagons and the side effects of herpes medications than anything else on ALL television media. Too bad their agenda is not simply informing people of news.
FOX and MSNBC might say fair, balanced, left, right, but when Nike and IBM quit buying air time, they will reinvent themselves. Im hopin for the Gilligans Island 24 hour channel.
Yes, I agree. Like US (and many others) politics – it’s now ONLY about the money… so sad!
Gilligans Island? I guess that’s too specifically American for me to get it… 😆
How about Fawlty Towers?
Ah. Thanx – Yes indeed. Did you ever see the one where John Cleese was beating the crap out of his old car with a tree branch because it wouldn’t go?
My fav was the mouse and the health inspector….truly a wonderful program…..
How bout Young Ones?
Oh, my god! Scary!
