Don't be so sure Doug.

But as those involved in the war on terror belatedly realise the importance of following the money trail, more and more officials are coming to Charleston.

This raised red flags with me, as Bush and this administration have said, shortly after 9/11, that going after the money trail was one of their high priorities. It was also one of the prime reasons given for the Patriot Act.

Another red flag is that this attorney was one of the key players in the tobacco lawsuit scam, where lawyers lobbied legislators to change centuries of civil law so that they could sue the tobacco companies - promising the legislators a cut of the action. That is exactly what happened, with current smokers paying the burden, not the tobacco companies.

This looks like another big scam in the making, and this article is greasing the skids.

Maybe, maybe not. I suspect these guys will be suing the hell out of the FAA and other government agencies, as well as the airlines. But if they really to intend to let the dogs out on the Saudi royal family and some of the other Arab co-conspirators, then bully for them.
