Funny that CBS never mentions the "Kathleen Ashton et al v. Al Qaeda" lawsuit.

I called it first, Tagline material!

Hmmmm...this gets some wheels to turning...will do some checking on her public statements. Bookmarking for future reference.

I travel that stretch of highway every day to and from work. The area has been "under construction" for years.
I could believe that a woman in a subcompact could cause that accident.
The highway has many bends and twists to it.....often changing from month to month due to the constantly changing placement of the New Jersey barriers. Combine this with out of state moron drivers (mainly NY and NJ) who do not heed the CT "unspoken" laws of the road:
"left lane = hammer lane" Even though the posted speed limit is now 45 (was 55) and speeding tickets in "work zones" are Supersized....twice the regular fines.....no one dares to actually impede the normal flow of traffic by actually abiding by the posted speed limit. If you do choose to drive the actual speed limit, do not do so in the left lane......or suffer the wrath of hundreds of pissed of CT divers who will pass you in the middle lane and cut you off with 3 millimeters to spare. You can easily spot the typical out of state moron travelling the EXACT same speed as the 18 wheeler, immediately to his / her right.....all the while leaving an empty space in front of him / her in the left lane of at least 3/4 of a mile.......oblivious to the fact that life would be much easier for all involved if they would pull over into the middle lane and let the automotive freight train pass them in the left lane, thus actually easing the trafic situation.

"Middle lane"....this is the Truckers "fast lane"....no nose picking or cell phone yacking here, folks, or you will wind up a blotch of DNA on the front bumper of 180,000 lbs of Peterbuilt.

"Right lane" is for brain addled out of state drivers, Illegal criminal trespassers, stacked like sardines in a 1978 Chebbie pick-up truck (who still abide by the Mexican national speed limit of 25 miles per hour), grand ma's who clench the steering wheel with kung-fu grip while teetering on a full blown panic attack from being squeezed between weaving 18 wheelers and the aforementioned concrete barrier. Here in the right lane, we also have the mini van / SUV driving soccer moms, who think thier birthright means that she does NOT have to slow down, or speed up, to let people on the highway.....instead....she stares dutifully ahead....all the while aware that you are there, just inside of her periphial(sp?) vision......she'd be perfectly happy screwing you into the front of the next available bridge abutment as you try to gain acess to the highway, just to "claim her space" in her God annointed right lane.

.....hmmmmm, I just don't know who to thank for turning my normally 22 minute commute to work, into an hour and 55 minute fiasco....

Such a legal action is mere fluff and has no legally cognizable basis. Contrast it to the PanAm 103 suits against Lybia by surviviors of deceased passengers. The former is a waste of time, judicial resources and attorney labor, the latter had proper standing, a cognizable theory for a federal claim for relief and proveable elements. That way it had an effect of some leverage on the Dept. of State to cooperate.
