Torture Sue Cannot
I guess two things bring questions to my mind regarding this. One, what does he think he can get out of suing someone in another country? And two, what are the laws regarding torture in Saudi Arabia? You can't lawfully sue someone for doing what is within the laws of their country.

That makes complete sense to me. The logical thing would be to sue in the country of petition but for some strange reason I wouldn't think that wouldn't make the to do list. Frankly, I"m astonished he made it out of the country much less in the bipedal position. I would think he might be too preoccupied in kissing the ground to attend court.
