There has to be more to this story. Can anyone enlighten us on the international legal implications of this? Why congress wanted it but the national security and diplomatic team did not? Or is this just the public facade of international politics playing out before us?
"The enactment of the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act (JASTA) is of great concern to the community of nations that object to the erosion of the principle of sovereign immunity, which has governed international relations for hundreds of years. The erosion of sovereign immunity will have a negative impact on all nations, including the United States," the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia said in a statement."

Not much surprise that the House of Saud is furious at the 9-11 Vote SSG Carlos Madden.
Today the Congress is working on modifying the language of the bill to protect deployed forces.
Since the Muslim-radical assault on the Grand Mosque in 1979 the House of Saud was blackmailed to export and fund Wahhabi doctrine schools and lessons in western countries.
It has long been suspected that some in the House of Saud especially in the intel community were aware of the 9-11-2001 assault on our nation and did nothing to stop it.
We have been basing strike aircraft in Saudi Arabia for a long time which was one of the things that infuriated Bin Laden and motivated him to attack us.
The House of Saud has been balancing between being the homeland of the majority of Sunni holy sites and allowing the infidels [that's us] to base their war assets there.
We have had a relationship with Saudi Arabia nd Israel where we arm both and train the Saudi National Guard since the Israeli's are quicker to learn.
Some have been concerned that the 9-11 bill would open up the US military personnel to being tried in foreign courts - of course that has been going on for decades - the UN and the Hague went after us fro rendition, seeming war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan; however, we tried the Abu Ghraib prison case ourselves.
