This news -- that Iran is considering a lawsuit over Stuxnet -- is too perfect for words.   Lawfare readers will have a field day:  In what court?  Under what theory?   With what damages?   How will they get jurisdiction?  Etc.  This almost seems to be  an ideal question for our readers -- so I want to start a survey -- what do you think this means?  Best answer gets an official "attaboy"
