This is incorrect. My article was based on conversations with defense counsel and supporters, including an off-the record conversation that I could not use in the article, conversations with the Feds, a review of earlier correspondence (http://www.politechbot.com/cgi-bin/politech.cgi?name=sperling) in the case, a review of the statute in question here, a review of affidavits filed in the case, and the plea agreement that West signed. It's easy to flame on a mailing list. Knowing what you're talking about it a bit more difficult. -Declan
