Sic 'em
Since we have to put up with trial lawyers, we might as well point them in a useful direction. The Staten Island Advance reports that 1,000 kin of Island WTC dead could join lawsuit, lawyer says :
The news that lawyers for survivors of Sept. 11 victims are poised to sue the alleged Saudi financiers of Osama bin Laden has sparked renewed interest in the case among potential Staten Island plaintiffs, according to a member of the legal team.

"The phones haven't stopped ringing here all day," said West Brighton attorney John D'Amato yesterday.

Headed by a partner from the South Carolina firm Ness Motley, the legal team has announced that within the next few weeks it will file a federal suit seeking billions of dollars in reparations for Sept. 11 victims' relatives from wealthy Saudi citizens, banks, corporations and charities with ties to bin Laden.
Forget the daisycutters, we're talking the ultimate weapon here!
