I’d avoid throwing myself into a system of “law” where just showing up dressed wrong could get you beheaded.

Sharia “court” to Blackwater lawyers:
“The design on your neckties are clearly mocking the name of Allah (a fave regional desert moon deity)! You must die for this blasphemy!!!”

“Unintended consequences”, as the buzz phrase goes.

[...] See-dubya righteously rips Blackwater a new one for trying to have it both ways on the legal front. See, lefties, we on the right are not wholly-owned subsidiaries of Blackiburton Inc. [...]

BTW, how does my supporting NOT suing the troops and civilian support in a war zone NOT equal supporting them in your book? Please explain. Or in your book you support the troops by suing them?

I am not advocating suing the troops. It is not the troops or the US government being sued, it is a private contractor. If they are liable in the death of the three soldiers, why should they not be held to US standards. It is US taxpayer money afterall paying the contractors, right.

Ah, the legal principle of jurisdiction, namely, who’s law applies? It seems so elementary until you realize that we fought a civil war over it. Since I am not a lawyer, I leave it to the pros to decide this issue with respect to Blackwater.

les don’t be an idiot.

Then again, you only have to look as far as Cindy Sheehan.

BTW, how does my supporting NOT suing the troops and civilian support in a war zone NOT equal supporting them in your book? Please explain. Or in your book you support the troops by suing them? This is like suing the manufacturers of bullets for killing US soldiers.
Oh wait, I probably just gave their lawyers another idea..

The wives might be in it out of anger and grief, but the lawyers who instigate it are in it for the money. You wanna throw a hissyfit? there’s you target, not me.

nyc123me #17 “…then I see no reason why Afghani law should not be applied to Blackwater. It’s just playing the dhimmis at their own game, and they wont like it.”

nyc123me, are you calling the 3 widows of the dead soldiers dhimmis. What happened to supporting our troops? Does your support stop when they died so you can enjoy your freedom?

ET, have your head examined.

While our justice isn’t perfect, it sure is a far cry better than any other system. Perhaps sharia doesn’t also allow facts to come out in discovery which seems to stop a lot of lawsuits. Perhaps blackwater was at fault?

I say use our courts. Any inch we give sharia to take a foothold, it will take 10 feet more.
