Woman Wins Libel Suit By Suing Wrong Website 323

Posted by samzenpus from the close-enough dept.
An anonymous reader writes "It appears that Cincinnati Bengals cheerleader Sarah Jones and her lawyer were so upset by a comment on the site TheDirty.com that they missed the 'y' at the end of the name. Instead, they sued the owner of TheDirt.com, whose owner didn't respond to the lawsuit. The end result was a judge awarding $11 million, in part because of the failure to respond. Now, both the owners of TheDirty.com and TheDirt.com are complaining that they're being wrongfully written about in the press — one for not having had any content about Sarah Jones but being told it needs to pay $11 million, and the other for having the content and having the press say it lost a lawsuit, even though no lawsuit was ever actually filed against it."

No japanese were interned until the latest stages
of the war . The people in the California camps
were Americans , many of which had served in the
armed forces of the United States in the first
world war . Many of the internees volunteered for
combat in the second world war, for a country which imprisoned their families . They served in Europe . Americans should never be interned without due process of law , regardless of race .
We should remember our enemy is bin lauden , not
because he believes in Islam , but because he has
killed American civilians .
