Newsy Notes from the LYNNE STEWART Persecution
A great bit of the trial that might be overlooked
from Thursday - -
not to mention these old tapes from 1993 have nothing to do with any defendants as they had no contact with the 'blind sheik' then! Yet 1993 tapes get brought to bear as feds wish it so (plus they have sooooo much tape from then, fist hand, second hand, third hand. forth hand and fifth hand, unenhanced and enhanced).

"19 MS. BAKER: Your Honor, if I might add one factor.
20 Your Honor admitted some of the other Abdel Rahman
21 trial exhibits for their probativeness as to the state of mind
22 of Abdel Rahman as well and your Honor has now -- and many of
23 those are Abdel Rahman's own speeches or sermons which your
24 Honor has heard. It is a theme of Abdel Rahman in his speeches
25 that where something occurs that is un-Islamic or wrong, that

1 there is an obligation to speak out against it. So part of the
2 significance of this call and of the reporting of the operation
3 to Abdel Rahman is that when it is reported to him he does not
4 condemn it and say that it's wrong. He accepts the report.
5 MR. TIGAR: Your Honor, I first want to apologize.
6 The dates at the bottom was indistinct on some of the pages of
7 mine, so I now understand that this apparently did take
8 place -- this call did tell us what this was.
9 We maintain our view and I think what we have just
10 heard raises a different set of issues. If this is to be
11 admitted with respect to Abdel Rahman, the conspirator here,
12 then we have to look at the fact that it's a 1993 statement and
13 not only is there a question of pendency but after that he gets
14 convicted and his lawyers are working with him and so on. It
15 gets to be somewhat remote.
16 And the second, of course, is to tell this jury or to
17 argue to this jury that by one's silence one gives consent to
18 violence, it is a very dangerous road to start out as the
19 relevance theory. I don't want to discuss this at length. You
20 know, St. Thomas Moore in his trial discussed that whole issue
21 but I am not talking about that.
22 We oppose it.
23 THE COURT: All right."
The Feds are trying to show someone is guilty if an (illegal) tap is placed on their phone and an item is mentioned that they 'do not denounce' it shows they are guilty of criminal conspiracy!!
This is a very important bit of state persecution unknown to the press as they are
absent during most of this!
