To defend itself against a lawsuit by the widows of three American soldiers who died on one of its planes in Afghanistan, a sister company of the private military firm Blackwater has asked a federal court to decide the case using the Islamic law known as Shari’a.

WTF??? What? How? Why?

If the judge agrees, it would essentially end the lawsuit over a botched flight supporting the U.S. military. Shari’a law does not hold a company responsible for the actions of employees performed within the course of their work.

Oh, well gee, we aren't responsible because it was our employees, not the company.

Guys, here's a short pier, take a long walk off it. Oh those fins? Those are... dolphins! Yeah! Dolphins! And they want to play in the water with you! It'll be a blast!
