..... A tad excessive :D

:no: Never gonna get a cent either ... to bad, I personally hope they win, but .... unlikely.

I hate to say it but Tech is right. The odds fall between slim and none, when it comes to them getting money out of this. The best thing they can still hope for is that we find the one man behind this and let the Gov. deal with that. I am as bitter about this as they are but I feel that they are going to come up short.

It is also possible that if they do win money, some of it may be paid by US taxpayers.

Well if thats the case, thats just INSANE!! No way do I want to foot the bill on this one, and no American should have to.

I think the American people as a hole have been hurt enough by this:: but robbing our governments money to pay these guys just because foreign nations wont is not justice -- just more sh*t. The money we have to divert to this would have most likely been better spent on the war effort. Just my 2 and a half cents :)
