Repubs are always screaming about "frivolous Lawsuits"- Well, how about this one?
Lawsuit filed over bin Laden death photos
By: CNN Supreme Court Producer Bill Mears
Washington (CNN) - A conservative legal watchdog group has filed the first lawsuit seeking public release of video and photographs of the U.S. military raid and aftermath that left al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden dead.
Judicial Watch is asking the Department of Defense to comply with a Freedom of Information request for the material, especially photos of the September 11 mastermind lying dead on the third floor of his Pakistan hideout. The legal complaint to force compliance was made in federal court in Washington on Friday.

Useless waste of money and time.

2. Judicial Watch -
I would love to see the results of psychological tests administrered to these people. I bet "grandiose" would come up often.

3. Speaking of wastes of money and time
Why can't I see what I paid for? This has nothing to do with any "proof" that bin Laden is really dead (which would be about the stupidest lie anyone could tell, on a par with "Iraq has weapons of mass destruction! We have to invade their country!"), but has everything to do with a full accounting of what's going on in my name with my tax dollars. My daddy died 20 years ago; I'm not in the market for a new one to tell me what I'm not supposed to see.
