Wounded Soldier, Widow Awarded $102.6 million

"A soldier wounded in Afghanistan and the widow of his slain comrade were awarded a $102.6 million judgment from the estate of a suspected Al Qaeda financier."

"U.S. District Judge Paul Cassell said the lawsuit may be the first filed by an American soldier against terrorists under the Patriot Act."

From the "WTF" department comes a story that almost seems like a joke. You mean to tell me that our troops can now sue their attackers for damages?? Now I could see if they were just minding their own business, and not on active duty in a war zone, which is what that whole country is. Not that they'll ever collect a cent, but what's the point? Oh, wait....it does make sense. With the way our government really supports the troops, especially when they get wounded, this could be the only aide they get from their service. Yeah, that's the ticket. Where the government fails, bring on the lawyers.
