thats not a bad idea mikael....problem is that the govt would have to let go of those assets, and it never been easy to get the govt to let go of anything.

as for wills points, i would look at any lawsuit that is a known lost cause as frivolous and wasteful. in al qaedas case, in their eyes theyve done the right thing, and getting any actual damamges would be impossible. the street gangs on the other hand, police cant get these people to stop killing each other and selling drugs, what makes them think that they can collect lawsuit damages.....its a total waster of time and energy and money. now if they were to be sued after they were caught or stopped or defeated, in al qaeda case, than that might a different story. maybe its more an issue of timing
