The TRILLIAN dollar question. Will the Saudi Royal family recieve diplomatic immunity for helping finance Osama and Al Qaeda all these years? A lawsuit filed by 9/11 victims last year which demands reparations from the Saudis will come to a close next week. Background story here: Evidently there's precedent for pay-out.

Yeah, but what does it have to do with Douglas Adams or IM client software?

Reports of links to al-Qaida spark libel boom: Saudis turn to claimant-friendly English courts to clear their names over allegations that they helped to finance Osama bin Laden.

Did the Saudis know about 9/11? A new book claims that Saudi princes and a Pakistani official knew Osama bin Laden would strike America that day. But some critics say the whole story could be a neoconservative fabrication.

Bush won't let it happen--wouldn't he have to release documents connected to the 9/11 investigation for the families to prove their case?

I think it would be difficult for the Saudi govt. to accept culpability. If they were to say "we were partly responsible", where would it end?

I join the ranks: I thought for a brief moment Google had bought Cerulean Studios.

"It's a core government function and not something a public official can be hauled into court for," I am waiting to hear the WH spin on how the friendly Saudi Arabia officially financed 9-11. Surely there must be a perfectly innocent explanation for it.

It helps if you read these articles while the sponge-bob squarepants theme song is repeating in your head.
