Consider this a bribe. The Govt is paying the families the amount listed only if the families don't sue the airlines. The airlines could lose everything if the greedy aclu lawyers got involved. I agree with not paying them a cent though. Accidents happen. They took the chance when they flew. The families of the COLE or the embassy folks.
Just out of curiosity, what does the ACLU have to do with this whole thing? Just because they tend to be viewed as being in the "left" camp?
