Nah, both sides share the guit so I'm not buying the left/right blather.

There is a fine line between a patriot and a terrorist.

If England had won the american revolution, all of our historical american patriots would have went down in history as terrorists.

The Iraqi health ministry’s headquarters and hospitals were festooned at the time with pictures of Mr. Sadr alongside slogans declaring “Death to America.”

The question for the courts is ..did these companies know about this..or, at least, was this consequence foreseeable?

Give me a break. The CEO's of these companies make millions and are touted as being super intelligent....to think they did not know about this is beyond naïve..........

What does this have to do with Drug companies funding foreign governments?

It's what side of that line you're standing on that makes all the difference.
