Kiobel: Supreme Court Amicus

In KBR, Inc.'s supplemental amicus brief filed with the Supreme Court in Kiobel on August 12, 2012, they devote six pages to "Whether Foreigner or Alien...."  They did a great job of conveying what took me 60+ pages in just 6! 

Also, The Washington Legal Foundation's amicus also gave my article a shout out here.
