US judge dismisses Saudi 9/11 case
A US federal judge has dismissed lawsuits against Saudi Arabia stemming from the 9/11 attacks.
Ruling that the plaintiffs did not provide sufficient proof of alleged involvement on Wednesday, district court Judge Richard Conway Casey cleared numerous leading Saudi officials and financial institutions of any wrong-doing. Reacting to the 62-page ruling, Prince Bandar bin Sultan - Saudi Arabia's ambassador to Washington - welcomed the judge's stance, which he said was "consistent" with the findings of the US 9/11 commission. Accusations Specific charges included providing material support to the planners of the deadly attacks on New York's twin World Trade Center towers and the Pentagon, outside Washington, which killed 2700 people. "In the aftermath of 9/11, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has been confronted with many false charges. "As the real facts emerge, we hope we can all move forward in the spirit of cooperation and mutual support, which is so critical to winning the war on terrorism," bin Sultan added.

I wonder who the insurers were.
Thank you.
I'm sorry to hear it.
This was what I expected.
Good, now they can lower the pirce of oil as a gesture of goodwill ...
So does the blind judge have a connection to the blind sheik or the blind imman?
Oh Well, if we can't beat'em in court, we'll just have to nuke Mecca.
Thanks for the post but I should have recognized that name.
There were a series of jokes on the same theme when he was appointed.
He is an inspiration on other levels.
I am not positive but I believe John Loftus was an attorney in this case....which explains why he attacks Saudi Arabia with every breath.
What other info do you have?Thanks for the post but I should have recognized that name.

U.S. Court in New York Rejects Partial-Birth Abortion Ban
August 27, 2004 By JULIA PRESTON
A federal judge in New York ruled yesterday that a federal law banning a rarely used method of abortion was unconstitutional because it did not exempt cases where the procedure might be necessary to protect a woman's health.
The ruling, by Judge Richard Conway Casey, came in a challenge brought by the National Abortion Federation and seven doctors to a November 2003 law that bans the method known as partial-birth abortion.

... "This is a great day for women's health, because it means the Constitution holds that doctors will treat women's health and not Congress," said Talcott Camp, an A.C.L.U. lawyer in the case.
ha ha ha those Saudis sure know how to tell a good joke.
I've followed this story and have seen some of these links when they were posted.
It seems as if Saudi Arabia may be managing to get off the hook. I was hoping maybe we'd deal with them after we finished with Iran and Syria, but now I don't know. It seems as if they're managing to buy their way out of trouble again.
