DESCRIPTION:Renowned constitutional law attorney Leonard Weinglass worked on the cases 
 of Angela Davis, the Chicago 7, and Mumia Abu-Jamal, among others, and is 
 now defending one of the Cuban 5.   This case is not familiar to many in 
 the U.S., but it is an enlightening lesson in the politics of intelligence 
 agencies. The Cuban 5 were part of a group of people in Florida who were 
 gathering information during the 1990’s about a terrorist network in 
 Miami that had launched a series of attacks against Cuba. When the Cuban 
 intelligence service presented the FBI with this information in 1998, the 
 FBI thanked them and said they would get back to them. Instead, they 
 rounded up the people who had provided the dossier and charged them with 
 espionage. Five were found guilty; three were sentenced to life. Weinglass 
 will discuss the implications of this politically-fraught case for the 
 future of civil liberties and constitutional law in the U.S.   $5-10 
 Suggested donation for the lecture benefits Cuban 5 legal defense and

 p.m. by a reception with light buffet at PPJC, 457 Kingsley Ave., Palo Alto
