A reader forwarded a press release from The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC), who will try to force the United States to follow their twisted idea of what our foreign policy should be—by suing the government.

ADC Press Release:

ADC to Sue Departments of State and Defense for Failure to Protect US Citizens in Lebanon

Washington, DC | Sunday, July 23, 2006 | The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) will file a federal lawsuit tomorrow claiming that Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld failed to fulfill their constitutional and professional obligations and protect US citizens in a crisis or time of war.

In the lawsuit, ADC alleges that the defendants placed US citizens in peril by not taking all possible steps to secure the safety and well being of US citizens in Lebanon. Further, the lawsuit asks the Federal Court to issue an order compelling the Secretary of State and Secretary of Defense to request a ceasefire and to stop any shipments of weapons or any other military support to Israel during the evacuation of all US citizens out of Lebanon.

ADC is joined in the lawsuit by several American citizens who have returned from Lebanon after escaping the violence and others who remain in Lebanon. The lawsuit will be filed in Federal District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. ADC and its co-plaintiffs are represented by the law firm of Nabih H. Ayad & Associates.

A press conference will be held tomorrow following the filing of the lawsuit-

When: 2:00 pm (EST) Monday July 24, 2006
Where: United States District Court
Eastern District of Michigan
231 West Lafayette Avenue
Detroit, Michigan 48226
Press conference will be held at the front entrance (Fort Street Entrance)
