Attorney General Ashcroft personally approved your subpoena, and that of another reporter who published admissions by James Dalton Bell. The Government is not seeking any source material, notes, or other unpublished material from you by virtue of this subpoena. The limited purpose of the subpoena is to have you review two of your published articles, acknowledge your authorship, review several of the statements which you attributed to Bell in your articles, and have you verify that he in fact told you those things. That's all. We're only interested in having you testify about statements of his that you published. If your subpoena could have been avoided, it would have been. Unfortunately, the Federal Rules of Evidence do not permit a news article to be admitted into evidence for these purposes unless the person who wrote it can attest to its authorship and the accuracy of its content. This must be done in open court, at trial, and cannot be accomplished by affidavit, unless the defendant is willing to stipulate that your appearance can be avoided and that your articles can be admitted into evidence witho! ut your appearance as a foundation witness. Mr. Bell is not interested in any such stipulations. I regret any inconvenience that a trip to Tacoma may cause. I am extremely sensitive to the intrusiveness of any subpoena and the potential negative impact that press subpoenas can have on the news gathering function. The subpoena that has been served on you, is, in my experience, as minimally intrusive as any such subpoena can be. Robb London Assistant United States Attorney Western District of Washington

Swedish secret service seeks informers: chief http://groups.yahoo.com/group/spynews/message/14488 From: C-afp(a)clari.net (AFP) news:clari.world.europe.northern Date: Wed, 7 Mar 2001 8:50:15 PST STOCKHOLM, March 7 (AFP) - The Swedish secret service is trying to recruit informants among anti-globalisation activists in a bid to spare EU meetings this spring from the kind of protest violence that marred top-level gatherings in Seattle and Prague, media reported Wednesday. Spy-master Jan Danielsson, head of the SAEPO secret service, said the agency was looking for members of anti-globalisation groups to feed police with inside information on planned protests at several EU meetings to be held in Sweden. "It helps to have a source inside organisations in which SAEPO is interested," he was quoted by newspapers as saying earlier on television. "All secret services work this way. SAEPO has always done it. We are trying to recruit people who we think will give us information." Sweden, which currently holds the rotating EU presidency, is scheduled to host a number of top-level meetings this year. These include two EU summits as well as other meetings of finance ministers, foreign ministers and agriculture ministers. SAEPO has invited militants from the Greens environmental party and the Attac association, which promotes a tax on financial speculation to aid those in need, to provide information on their groups' plans. Political movements such as "No to the EU" -- which groups around 30 eurosceptic organisations -- and the former communist Left Party have said they will stage "critical seminars" on the sidelines of the EU meetings. Anti-globalisation protests have already managed to disrupt gatherings such as the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, the EU summit in Nice, France, and the December 1999 global finance and trade meetings in Seattle, Washington.

Why was Jon Malkovich never charged with 'Threatening the life of a serving POTUS' for his role in In The Line Of Fire? Clint Eastwood _specifically_ told him in response to a telephone threat that "[Y]ou could go to jail for saying that, even if you don't really mean it". I thought there wasn't an exception for fantasy/fiction. Malkovich isn't somehow 'connected' is he? Cecil B. Demented, esq. -- "Ask not for whom the bell tolls: it's probably just a process server."
