Samurai136 0 #4 October 23, 2006 What law was broken? What grounds do you think you have for a lawsuit? If some clown is citing a newspaper article that mis-quotes you on their website, wouldn't be easier to send them an e-mail? Peace-niks are reasonable people. Tell them their facts are wrong and you would like them to remove the specific inaccurate quotes."Buttons aren't toys." - Trillian Ken Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
unformed 0 #5 October 23, 2006 You should sue. This country was founded on the principles that every asshat has the right to get rich from stupid lawsuits because their panties rubbed them the wrong way. Or you could send them email and tell them to take it down.This ad space for sale. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think you have a suit, but you could let the newspaper know their copyright is being stepped on. If he altered your quotes, I imagine you could sue for slander.So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

lawrocket 3 #10 October 23, 2006 QuoteSure you can. This is America - You can sue anybody for anything for any amount of money. Good luck! I'll chime in here - Zee's comment is 100% correct. I often answer the question, "Can I sue if..." or "can I be sued if..." You can file a lawsuit against anyone or anything for anything. For example, Zee can go to court and sue me by alleging that he posted on this board, I agreed with him, and that caused him to be harmed, and furthermore, I am in cahoots with Xenu and the Galactic Federation to cause ill effects upon Zee by ensuring that body thetans attach to him regularly. Okay? Anyone can sue anyone at any time for anything. Whether the suit will be merited or winnable is an entirely different inquiry. For example, in the above example, I could probably have the case thrown out in 90 days or so. But it doesn't mean my life hasn't been made difficult because of it. My wife is hotter than your wife.

bloody_trauma 2 #19 October 23, 2006 heres the article cut and pasted, hes got these made into PDF and DOC formats, that have other titles that are sensational in terms. my' comment are inoccuous but still i'd rather not be associated with his cause QuoteCharlie Battery’s Deaths By Stop-Loss: The Bloody Reality Of War In Iraq June 14, 2004 By Gina Cavallaro, Army Times staff writer -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 15 BAGHDAD, Iraq — The soldiers of Charlie Battery don’t have a name for what happened April 29. For a while, they could hardly talk about it. They would stare down and shake their heads when the subject of that day’s devastating car bombing came up. And then there is the “what if” question: What if their tour in Iraq hadn’t been extended? Would this have happened at all? Would eight of their fellow soldiers have been killed in a single incident? The fight began for the 4-27 almost as soon as its guns rolled out of camp into unfamiliar territory. On April 21, during the first leaders’ reconnaissance mission for Charlie Battery’s 2nd Platoon, three soldiers were seriously wounded when shrapnel from a roadside bomb tore open the howitzer they were in. The bomb “ripped it to shreds,” said Charlie Battery commander Capt. Jim Hickman, 37, of Atlanta. “The next day, we modified the guns [with sandbags and extra armor] so that wouldn’t happen again.”Four days later, while on patrol with the battalion’s scout platoon, there was another roadside explosion next to the scouts’ uparmored Humvee, wounding two soldiers and an interpreter, who got so spooked he jumped out of the vehicle and was seriously injured when he was run over by an approaching Humvee. After the two attacks — and the discovery of 11 unexploded road bombs consisting ofmore than 100 artillery shells, including four 350-pound aerial bombs strung together — the battalion resolved to carry out dismounted sweeps of two roads leading into the farming town of Yusufiyah, 15 miles southwest of Baghdad. The area had been largely underpatrolled by coalition troops, Hickman said, and many of the town’s residents had worked in a bomb factory there and were knowledgeable about handling munitions. The darkest dayThe battalion’s batteries began taking turns conducting foot patrols on and near the roads. Patrolling on April 29 in a wedge formation about 200 meters into the brush, the soldiers of Charlie Battery stopped on both sides of a farm road when the lead man identifiedwhat appeared to be an improvised explosive device. The artillerymen-turned-riflemen lowered themselves into culverts and irrigation ditches and took a security halt position so the engineer company trailing by about 400 meters could catch up. Hunkered down over a 400-by-400 meter area, the soldiers waited and teased one another on their two-way radios. “We were saying things to each other like, ‘I can see you, but you can’t see me,’” recalled Staff Sgt. Raymond Young, 26, of Georgetown, S.C., a section chief in 1st -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 16 Platoon. The radio calls darted among the men with the kind of tongue-in-cheek expressions born of having spent a year together. “I love you.” “I love you, too.” “I love you guys,’” they remembered saying to one another in a mocking, high-pitch voice. Danger was on its way to them in the form of a suicide bomber in a brown Opel station wagon that battalion commander Lt. Col. Brian McKiernan estimates was carrying up to 500 pounds of explosives and artillery rounds. The vehicle was spotted just before 11:30 a.m., approaching slowly from the west on a road perpendicular to the one the soldiers were on. When the driver reached the farm road, he turned left toward the 2nd Platoon and the soldiers stood up from their covered positions. The car passed one soldier and the rest moved in to surround it. Platoon leader 1st Lt. Jared Vineyard, stepped forward to stop the vehicle. ”Which is exactly what he was supposed to do,” McKiernan said. The bomber “was in a position to either use his bomb or lose it.” What ordinarily would have been a routine vehicle stop-and-search instead became an unspeakable scene of carnage. The driver detonated his deadly cargo, killing himself and taking eight soldiers with him: Staff Sgt. Esau Patterson, Staff Sgt. Jeff Dayton, Sgt. Ryan Campbell, Spc. James Beckstrand, Spc. Justin Schmidt, Pfc. Ryan Reed, Pfc. Norman Darling and Pvt. Jeremy Ewing. Three others were wounded — Vineyard, Staff Sgt. Bradley Smelly and Spc. Ernesto Victor. “I doubt the soldiers were the target. It was not a tactic we had seen the enemy use, attacking a dismount with a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device,” McKiernan said. “These soldiers died accomplishing their mission, which was to prevent an attack against the clearing force. But that doesn’t make it any easier.” The consequences of the explosion were “horrific,” McKiernan said. The surviving soldiers were stunned.“It shocked the hell out of me. At first we all kind of hit the ground and looked around,” said Spc. Stephen Ates, 23 of Jackson, Miss., a member of the 1st Platoon who was across the road at the time of the blast. “I saw Staff Sergeant Dayton. He was still alive, but there was nothing we could do for him. He said, ‘Help me up,’ but that was it.” Running to the scene to give medical aid, 1st Platoon medic Pfc. David Haugh looked around for 2nd Platoon medic Darling. “I got there and I was looking for a medic. There was no medic and it was strange,” said Haugh, 21, of Houston. “Later we found Darling lying face down in a field.” -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 17 In the aftermath of what some described as “a huge fireball,” the numbed soldiers of Charlie Battery set about recovering their buddies’ remains and equipment. As difficult as it was, McKiernan said, the battery finished the day’s mission. “I always wanted to be a section chief, but not like this,” said Staff Sgt. Jermaine Brown, 31, of Columbus, S.C., who replaced Dayton as a section chief in 2nd Platoon. The Charlie Battery soldiers say they can’t ignore the fact that being extended in Iraq may have given that bomber an opportunity. But they don’t dwell on it. pfc david haugh is me. this is from a thing that happened the first deployment. its kinda strange to read this shit for me, cuz i was in the vehicle that got on the first attck and i was taking the day off from patrolling when the car bomb went off. pulling security with the vehicles instead of tromping around the fields Fly it like you stole it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
