I did, however, remember something (loosely) relevant from a few years ago, and talked to someone from the Chicago office of the law firm involved: This is the firm (the NY or DC office) which represented Israel/Mossad in the prior restraint case attempting to block publication of Victor Ovstrovsky’s “By Way of Deception” (probably published 1991 or 1992, I’m not sure). Ovstrovsky had been an intelligence officer with Mossad.

Prior restraint is usually a loser, as Nixon learned in trying to stop publication of the Pentagon Papers. But we’re not talking about prior restraint, we’re talking about “depraved indifference” or “reckless disregard” which puts ourselves, our families, our communities and our country in grave peril. And, we’re not a government agency trying to muzzle the press.

I should have a legal opinion sometime tomorrow afternoon.

AJ, who should I contact to set up some method of coordinating this thing? Edited out email address – AJStrata

I accidentally deleted your comment about Joy Reid’s blog and there comments about me. If you are willing, I would like it reposted (until I figure out how to salvage deleted messages).

To answer your question – yes, I know what is going on there. If you go to the comments section you will see I comment on Joy’s site quite a bit.

Sorry for the fat fingers (or in this case, lose cursor)

‘Muslim Scholars Were Paid to Aid U.S. Propaganda’ is the title of today’s The New York ‘Aids The Enemy’ Times. Could have well been written by Al-Jazeera, starting with the title. Unbelievable. I have no idea what harted driven anti-American prop…

“You can show harm in this case because the leakers and their media mouthpieces are destroying our protections. Whether increased risk or actual damage has to be proved is an interesting question. But the suite is not to win, it is to show the media where it stands with the people. ”

I am not a lawyer, but if you sue for damages then the other side can
possibly subpoena the government for secret information to demonstrate there was no damage.

I am not an expert, but the ACLU is always doing these lawsuits to get information out of the government.

They got a lot of intelligence information from the police in Denver about radical groups being investigated for suspicion of terrorism.

It is released selectively to embarrass the government. The government can only defend themselves by showing more.

If you got the ACLU to do this for you, they would not really be representing the interests of government secrecy–which is what this is about.

I find your trust in the Government policing up the leakers to be quaint in the face of the difficulties of exposing so many other problems in our government…Able Danger, CIA Incompetence etc etc.

Furthermore there seems to be an exemption if you are a Senator that is dangerous to our country. Senator Shelby for instance should have been prosecuted as well as Patrick Leahy. If anyone is above the law then the law does not exist.

Given the magnitude of the exposures and the almost casual attitude towards leaks by the Bush Administration it would seem that your faith in the government policing up its own is misplaced. When President Bush presumed that a Justice Department investigation was in the works I didn’t get a charge out of his cuteness I got upset by his casualness. Yea I know he is pissed but I want someone’s ass. Sandy Berger should have gone to jail. Anyone who leaks secrets should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law…that will take care of the problems with the media.

It is a very uneasy idea for me to want to put limits, even informal limits on the press. I prefer to use them as the Canary in the Coal mine to warn us when there are people inside of the Government who are willing to jeopardize this country for money or ideology.

I sent an e-mail query, with link to this article and comments, to Larry Klayman. I’ll follow up with a phone call in a couple of days if I don’t hear anything, and will keep you posted with whatever I can find out.
