 **************************************************************  Radical 
 human rights attorney Lynne Stewart has been falsely accused of helping 
 terrorists.  Now convicted, she faces 30 years in prison.  By targeting 
 Lynne Stewart the U.S. Justice Department hopes to make an example of an 
 attorney with a long history of progressive political beliefs as well as a 
 reputation for vigorously advocating on behalf of those whose lives have 
 been entrusted to her.  Her arrest is meant as a signal to the defense bar 
 to cease and desist zealous representation of persons criminalized by the 
 Government.  With this conviction, the U.S. government attempts to silence 
 dissent, curtail vigorous defense lawyers, and install fear in those who 
 would fight against the U.S. government's racism, seek to help Arabs and 
 Muslims being prosecuted for free speech, and defend the rights of all 
 oppressed people.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2005/11/10/80683.php
