There are a lot of advocates for 9/11 Justice that aren't participating in the push to get JASTA passed. A lot of it has to do with the fact that they don't understand the significance of what's going on. So, I will try to help you understand.



Right now, there are 9/11 Family Members fighting to get a bill called the Justice Against Sponsors Of Terrorism Act or JASTA for short passed. This would enable them to bring Saudi Arabia and 9/11 into a court of law.



The 9/11 Families have been trying to bring certain elements within the Saudi Kingdom to court for years and have been blocked at every turn by both the Bush Administration and the Obama Administration. One of the reasons the families can't sue Saudi Arabia is because they are not listed on the State Department's State Sponsors of Terrorism:

You'll remember maybe that Iran was sued in a court of law for 9/11, and was found guilty (because of help from people like Dieter Snell, from the 9/11 Commission, who protected Saudi Arabia along with Philip Zelikow during the time of the 9/11 Commission). This is why they were allowed to sue.



Another reason is because in its current form, the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act (FSIA) is written in a way that protects Saudi Arabia and other countries. JASTA would "modify the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act in a way that would clear the path for 9/11 families to sue the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for its alleged links to the attacks." (hat tip 28pages.org)



Some of you may or may not remember, but a lot of things were exposed during the Moussaoui Sentencing Phase. 9/11 was in a court of law, and certain incriminating things were exposed. I have little doubt that if the families are allowed to bring elements within Saudi Arabia into a court of law, knowing full well that President Bush is good friends with one of the individuals involved, someone he helped to protect, a lot more incriminating things will be exposed. Especially concerning the 9/11 Commission. Philip Zelikow and Dieter Snell protected Saudi Arabia during their time on the 9/11 Commission. I can certainly imagine the people involved from the 9/11 Commission being called to testify (since the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia likes to point to the 9/11 Report so much). That would most definitely discredit the 9/11 Commission for the world to see.



The families deserve their day in court. 9/11 needs to be brought into a court of law. Getting JASTA passed can do this. We don't have any other opportunity like this right now, so we have to take it, and we have to stand with the families. Anything less is simply wrong. In my opinion.



So please go make a short video calling for the passage of JASTA. Thank you.
