Reporters Fight Subpoenas in Terror Trial

1 hour, 14 minutes ago


NEW YORK - Reporters at three news organizations are resisting subpoenas issued in the trial of a lawyer charged with conspiring to support terrorists.

Prosecutors issued subpoenas to four reporters at Reuters, The New York Times and Newsday, saying they want the reporters to testify that lawyer Lynne Stewart said what they quoted her as saying in their articles.

Newspaper articles on their own are not admissible because they are considered hearsay.

Lawyers for the reporters have argued that making the reporters testify would compromise their neutrality by forcing them to side with prosecutors.

2. Intimidation. Selective Prosecution.

The Hallmarks of the Totalitarian Society that Imperial Amerika has become.

Weep for the future, living under Caligula and Nero Bush.

UNLESS THEY ARE STOPPED! NEVER GIVE UP!

Nobody knows dear, nobody knows.
