ROBERTS OPPOSED TROOPS RIGHT TO REPARATIONS FOR BEING TORTURED BY IRAQIS

Roberts Would Have Taken Position That Would Have Deprived American Soldiers Tortured in Iraq from Seeking Restitution. The case of Acree v. Republic of Iraq, was filled under the terrorism exception to the Foreign Soverign Immunities Act by 17 American soldiers who had been captured and tortured during the Gulf War. The district court had decided in favor of the plaintiffs, but the Government contended that the court did not have jurisdiction due to federal law. Roberts would have agree with the position, depriving Americans tortured in Iraq from receiving restitution. [Acree v. Republic of Iraq, 370 F.3d 41 (D.C. Cir. 2004)]
