And, in a related lawsuit (which can share the same post title):
A U.S. appeals court today threw out an award of more than 959 million dollars in damages against Iraq, Saddam Hussein and the Iraqi Intelligence Service and dismissed a lawsuit by 17 American prisoners of war held during the 1991 Gulf War.
The three-judge panel ruled the plaintiffs, which also included relatives of the prisoners, were not legally entitled to the judgment and that the law at issue does not allow for such lawsuits.
The lawsuit had been filed in April 2002 by 17 of the American troops held captive by Iraq during the war and by 37 of their immediate family members.
