I Thought Chutzpah Was A Jewish Thing

This story is one of the most amazing examples of chutzpah I have ever seen.

Yesterday John Hinderaker at Power Line quoted the following from a New York Times article:

"I Omar Ossama Binladin and my brothers the lawful children and heirs of the Ossama Binladin (OBL) have noted wide coverage of the news of the death of our father, but we are not convinced on the available evidence in the absence of dead body, photographs, and video evidence that our natural father is dead."

The article points out that Al Qaeda thinks Osama Bin Laden is dead and that one of Osama Bin Laden's daughters says that she witnesses his death (in the Islamic world, her opinion does not count because she is a woman), but that is not enough for Osama Bin Laden's son.

The article at Power Line further reports on the comments of Omar Bin Laden:

"If OBL has been killed in that operation as President of United States has claimed then we are just in questioning as per media reports that why an unarmed man was not arrested and tried in a court of law so that truth is revealed to the people of the world."

At the end of the article, we see the purpose of this complaint:

"Failure to answer these questions will force us to go to International forum for justice such as International Criminal Court and International Court of Justice and UN must take notice of the violation of international law and assist us to have answers for which we are lawful in seeking them. A panel of eminent British and international lawyers is being constituted and a necessary action may be taken if no answers are furnished within 30 days of this statement."

So Omar Bin Laden is putting together a team of lawyers to go to International Criminal Court, the International Court of Justice and the UN to charge America with violating international law in the killing of Osama Bin Laden.  Wow.  This is like the families of Bonnie and Clyde suing the Federal Bureau of Investigation after Bonnie and Clyde were tracked down and killed.  It will be educational to watch what happens with the complaint and coming lawsuit.
