And in the "totally nuts" department...

We have this guy and his wife, both lawyers, who insist that Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, better known as the underwear bomber, was set up and did not set out to blow up that jetliner in Detroit two Christmases ago, despite his pleading guilty in court just the other day.

Curt Haskell would have been the lone defense witness if the trial for 24-year old Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab had moved forward.

Haskell and his wife, both local attorneys, were passengers on Northwest Airlines Flight 253 on Christmas Day 2009. WWJ Newsradio 950′s Vickie Thomas reports the couple plans to file a civil lawsuit saying they are convinced the U.S. government was involved.

“The government staged an intentional falsified terrorist attack that almost took our lives,” said Curt Haskell.

“We were greatly traumatized by this event, as well as intentionally smearing our good name...

What I wanna know is who the hell would even consider hiring this unbalanced lunatic or his wife to handle their legal matters? (oh, and Curt...if you want to sue me now, go for it. But service of process is only accepted in person, hand-delivery, from you to my pal Murphy. Come on over.

PS--dress like a UPS man. He's eat off your hand...maybe even both of them.
