Nearly 100 Million for Victims of September 11

The claims are directed, among others, at Osama bin Laden, Al Qaeda and the Iraqi government under Saddam Hussein. - uh, what? Al Qaeda, okay, understandable. Osama bin Laden - well, as the intellectual originator (or instigator) I can go along with that. But who has ever proven a connection between Saddam Hussein and September 11 anywhere? That sounds to me more like someone is just looking for a reason to get their hands on Iraq's coffers - which they've already secured anyway.

As evidence of Iraq's connections to Al Qaeda, according to the plaintiffs' lawyer, they presented, among other things, the relevant statements by U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell before the Security Council. - so it seems clear that the verdict is based on lies. And therefore has nothing whatsoever to do with the rule of law.

At RP Online: Politik there's the original article.
