The middle east is watching intently no doubt. If they succeed in getting a judgment against supporters of terrorism...

Maybe the process server will be able to find Bin Laden. This is pure symbolism.

Good luck collecting girlie. The very idea of suing Al Qaeda is downright stupid.

Will Jolie make another bad movie about this too?

The process of “discovery” should be interesting in this case!

It reinforces the liberals view that this whole thing should be treated as just another criminal investigation, instead of as an act of terrorism.

John Edwards will need something to do after the primaries.

From what I can read about Pearl he had lots of sympathies for the terrorists causes he covered.

He and his wife knew the consequences and hazards of the way he pursued his job.

Dealing with Muslim trash is risky at best.

Muslims have no honor when it comes to dealing with those of the great Satan.

His killers were looking to make a statement and he made himself available for the slaughter.

Mrs. Pearl can file all the lawsuits she wants but I doubt she will ever collect.

"Habib Bank Limited is one of Pakistan's biggest banks. The lawsuit alleges the bank and its subsidiaries knowingly conducted financial transactions on behalf of charities linked to extremist groups"

Here's the real defendant with the bullseye on them. I bet the bank and its subsidiaries have assets, particularly financial assets, in America.

Maybe she will be able to tap frozen funds of those named in the suit. And getting a multi-million or billion dollar judgement against a bank will definitely make the banking industry sit up and take notice of shady transactions.

A recent issue of National Review had a very interesting arcticle on how banks refusing to do business with North Korea affected Ill Kim’s lavish lifestyle and criminal enterprises.

There is a big trial currently going on here in Dallas against “The Holy Land Foundation” which was basically a front group raising money for Hamas.

This trial could have far-reaching ramifications depending on how it turns out.

That is the crux of it.

Be careful - if she wins, AQ may decide to deliver the money to her “personally”.

Could lead to an explosive situation.

Time Magazine can serve the papers on that lawsuit. They are in good communication with AQ.

Target, fire for effect.

She may want to sue Saddam’s nephew because he was also involved in either this or Nick Berg’s killing.
