Default ACLU sues Jeppesen for Flights

This is rich. The [Anti] American Civil Liberties Union, also known for
its staunch support of the North American Man-Boy Lovers Association
(NAMBLA), just filed a suit of Boeing's Jeppesen subsidiary. The
reason? The ACLU is accusing Jeppesen for providing flight services to
the CIA, which Boeing "knew or should have known," was using for the
purpose of "torturing" terrorists.

Even assuming for the purpose of the argument that the CIA was actually
torturing terrorists, why would Jeppesen be at fault? They merely
provide navigation support and handling for air traffic control, fuel
requirements, formalities, etc. for airplanes. Somehow ACLU wants to
hold Jeppesen responsible for running a torture chamber too.

Why not sue the company that made the diodes in the VOR beacons that the
flights may have used, or the headset manufacturer too? What a pity
that valuable court resources are consumed by the ACLU's bilge.
