Sept. 11 widow sues the President

[Room101]

<snip>

A New Hampshire woman whose husband died in one of the planes that hit the World Trade Center sued President Bush and other government officials yesterday, contending their negligence of airport security resulted in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

The wrongful death lawsuit by Ellen Mariani, whose husband, Louis Neil Mariani, was a passenger in the plane that hit the south tower, was described by her lawyer as part of her campaign to "get to the truth of what happened on Sept. 11."

"We just don't believe the federal government has been honest with us," said Philip J. Berg, a Lafayette Hill lawyer, Democratic activist and former gubernatorial candidate.

1. hmmm...

In addition to President Bush, Mariani's lawsuit also names Vice President Cheney, Attorney General John Ashcroft, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, the Department of Defense and the Central Intelligence Agency, the National Security Agency, the Defense Intelligence Agency and the Council on Foreign Relations.

sounds about right...

2. I'd be suing the shit out of the resident and his sleepwalkers, too,

if I had a loved one who got killed on 9/11!

I would hope more People would join Ellen Mariani, poor thing!

3. Damn right!

Good for her! I'll support her, and make sure everyone I work with knows about this.

4. Sorry! Clinton v. Jones (1997)!

For the courts to throw this case out would nothing short of legislating from the bench, and we know how much this crowd opposes that!

6. Absolutely...

I was just thinking about that and the SCOTUS' moronic decision that "the Presidency wouldn't be materially affected" by allowing the Jones lawsuit to proceed. If this 9/11 lawsuit is not allowed to proceed, I will scream bloody murder.

5. Wow. Good for her!

:kick:

7. I'd be very careful, now if I were her

Remember Karen Silkwood, Paul Wellstone, and others. I hope she succeeds and lives to tell about it!

8. She should travel by car

and stay out of small aircraft. Best of luck to her! I hope SHE can dig to the bottom of all the shit they're hiding.
