We will be seeing these lawsuits for decades

If not by the victims, then by the families. Look at the restitutions still going on from WWII and realize it will go deep into the middle of this century.
A lawyer acting on behalf of the former Guantánamo prisoner Murat Kurnaz is taking the Pentagon to court to try to force them to hand over vital secret files.

According to a report in the Wednesday edition of the German newspaper Der Tagesspiegel, Baher Azmy, Kurnaz's US lawyer, is hoping to secure the release of documents that would exonerate the German-born Turkish citizen. "There are a whole lot of them," Azmy said. "The one problem the government could have with their release is that that it could be embarrassing for them."
