Lawyer Is Due for Sentencing in Terror Case [Lynn Stewart]

The New York Times ^ | October 16, 2006 | by Julia Preston

[aculeus]

Lynne F. Stewart, the firebrand lawyer known for defending unsavory criminals, now faces the possibility of living out her life like many of them, in maximum-security lockdown in a federal prison.

Today, 20 months after she was convicted on terror charges, Ms. Stewart and two co-defendants who were convicted of conspiring with her will be sentenced in Federal District Court in Manhattan. Prosecutors, arguing that Ms. Stewart repeatedly flouted the law to aid the violent designs of an imprisoned terrorist client, have asked Judge John G. Koeltl to condemn her to 30 years in prison.

That would be a life sentence for Ms. Stewart, who turned 67 last week. Long an abrasive advocate of anti-government causes, these days she is not defiant. She is mournful about what she said were her failures as a lawyer.

[snip]

She said that she completely misjudged how prosecutors viewed the sheik and the leeway she could take in defending him, as terrorism became an increasing threat to the United States. “To me, the sheik was part of the demonized other,” she said, “part of a continuum” with other violent radicals she had defended more successfully, including members of the Weather Underground and the Black Panthers.

She admits that she became too close to the sheik, insisting it was because of his deteriorating health and sanity after years in solitary confinement, not any affinity with his Islamic fundamentalism.

“I ignored any warning signs,” Ms. Stewart said. “I led with my heart instead of my head and thought it would be all right.”

“I ignored .... "

Mea Maxima Culpa.

[kittymyrib]

Send her to Gitmo.

Naaaah, she'd get out when she was 97.

Remember Lynn, to drop the soap is to show your good faith
in your fellow inmates.

It's too bad really, I'd hoped to see her hung.

[Anti-Bubba182]

From the tone of her comments she seems to want to elict sympathy. The Judge should throw the book at her. She had plenty of experience and knew better.

[marktwain]

“I ignored any warning signs,” Ms. Stewart said. “I led with my heart instead of my head and thought it would be all right.”


An ever present prescription for disaster.

[gr8eman]

“I led with my heart instead of my head and thought it would be all right.”

When I read this line, a scene from a Hellraiser movie popped into my head for some reason. The one where the demon chick is hanging out with the French guy and he tells her she can't go to America...well...he stood in Hell's way. This broad will be there soon!

[John Valentine]

“To me, the sheik was part of the demonized other,” she said, “part of a continuum” with other violent radicals she had defended more successfully, including members of the Weather Underground and the Black Panthers.

Unfortunately, there was/is just such a continuum. More unfortunately for her, Ms. Stewart decided to make herself part of it.

[Neophyte]

That would be a life sentence for Ms. Stewart, who turned 67 last week

Better late than never.

[ccmay]

Good. Throw this horrid evil Red bitch in solitary and throw away the key. If I were the prosecutor, she'd have faced a treason charge.

“To me, the sheik was part of the demonized other,” she said, “part of a continuum”

The liberal way of saying "I f @@ ked up".

[Jezebelle]

Don't anybody get their hopes up. Judge Koeltl is a Bubba appointee, and this is in NY. No doubt Hillary has interceded for her by now with a big, fat pay-off in store for her when this treasonous bitch gets 3 years.

[medscribe]

Death by hanging on the National Mall in Washington, DC. Traitors must pay the price and the country needs to see it. We have gone too soft with all this political correctness, multicultural sensitivity, "feel good" situational ethics crap. The same goes for that Johnny Taliban kid.

[happinesswithoutpeace]

Bloodline. "I have faith in the light. The light, demon. THE LIGHT!!

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Naaaah, she'd get out when she was 97.

I got a forty dollar bill says that President Hillary will pardon her. Any takers?

[hnj_00]

I am surprised that the lib/dems are requesting clemency & mercy for this traitorous bee-itch.....

30 years is not enough...she should get a firing squad at dawn!!!!

this diaperhead loving piece of shi-ite states that she was led by her heart to commit treason....just as muhammed atta and the other muzzie terrorists were!!!

she chose her side and it wasn't for the good of america...as a lawyer and officer of the court she was well aware of the law and the penalties.....

no mercy for treason!!!

[happinesswithoutpeace]

Does anyone know the minimum she can get?

Who Is Behind Lynne Stewart?

It was Ramsey Clark who urged Lynne Stewart to become the blind sheik's defense attorney. Clark's two previous choices, Center for Constitutional Rights attorneys and noted defenders of criminals and terrorists — including the Palestinian assassin of Meyer Kahane — William Kuntsler and Ron Kuby, had recused themselves.

I hope this sends a message to the NY Times ... and hope they are the next batch of traitors on trial.

[Jezebelle]

I don't know.

Piasa just wrote a post that reminded me of another Clinton connection, and that's Ramsey Clark. He's a great friend of Hillary's, and he's the one who urged Stewart to represent the terrorist after Kuby bailed out.

[Joe Boucher]

Send her to hell.
Hang her in Battery Park.

[happinesswithoutpeace]

2339A doesn't look like it has a minimum. No Minimum = crazy leeway for this judge. Maybe even non-custodial?

[camle]

we should send her some cheese - she seems to have plenty of whine in her already...

[atomic conspiracy]

Too bad nobody in the administration has the nads to charge her with treason. If a teason charge can stick against a brainless pop-culturist like Adam Gadan, it can stick against this loathesome tool. Like so many others, she has been well-rewarded for her treason over the past 40 years. It is time to make them all pay.

[6SJ7]

“I led with my heart instead of my head and thought it would be all right.”

That is a single sentence summation of Liberal 'philosophy'; also known as 'the road to Hell' school of philosophy.

[BunnySlippers]

She appears to know now that what she did was wrong. Funny ... a continum of her years defending the underground.

Off to jail!

[rlmorel]

When The Traitorous Jane Fonda and her ilk did not get charged for treason in Vietnam (and that was definitely treason) the bar was raised so high it can never be used again.

The Founding Fathers made treason a difficult charge to bring against someone, for good reason, having known many who suffered under it at the hand of The Crown, since it was used as a catch-all charge.

This woman committed treason as well. She should thank her stars for Jane Fonda. And John Conyers. And Jimmy Carter...and...

[rlmorel]

So true. So true.

[Non-Sequitur]

Ms. Stewart said that while her radical leftist views have not changed, she will continue to fight within the system. “I really think that my patriotism — if you’ll excuse the expression — and my love of this profession demand that I have to stay and fight.”

I really think that this is bullshit - if you'll excuse the expression - and you deserve what you get.

"Accomplice, n. One associated with another in crime, having guilty knowledge and complicity, as an attorney who defends a criminal, knowing him guilty. This view of the attorney's position in the matter has not hitherto commanded the assent of attorneys, no one having offered them a fee for assenting.
Ambrose Bierce

[Jezebelle]

Possible. She's an old radical just like Hillary - part of the enemy within. Remember, Clinton pardoned one of Stewart's client's (Kathy Boudin) associates, Linda Evans, from the Weather Underground. She ended up doing about half of a forty or fifty year sentence. The judge deciding the penalty is a Clinton appointee, and it's in NY where Hillary is a sitting U.S. senator. There's a big Ramsey Clark connection, too, and he's a close friend of Hillary's.

Nothing would surprise me.

[windchime]

No punishment is too harsh for Lynne Stewart.

 

Who Is Behind Lynne Stewart?

Louis claims "Soros...is a political actor who uses his money to advance a political agenda, namely to move politics to the center." I barely know who Soros is, so I can't comment on that assessment in general, but the fact that he gives money to independent media organizations is something that we should be thankful for.

He also says: "In order to legitimize his interventions, he also funds relatively innocuous outfits like Human Rights Watch as well as "cutting edge" causes like Attorney Lynne Stewart who was victimized by Ashcroft and company. Her website includes the notice: "This website is made possible by the generous support of the Open Society Institute." This is savvy PR, but the left would be better if Soros just went away."

JULY 17, 2002 : (HAMAS & HEZBOLLAH SUPPORTERS ANNOUNCE A LAWSUIT AGAINST BUSH, POWELL & ISRAELI LEADERS - THE SUIT IS LED BY LAWYER STANLEY COHEN, PARTNER OF LYNNE STEWART - See Sheik Abdel Rahman & the 1993 WTC bombing; Kathy Boudin & Weather Underground & May 19 Communist Organization; Castro & NLG & SLA; CCR) Supporters of the Hamas and Hezbollah terrorist movements announced a lawsuit today that names President George W. Bush and Secretary of State Colin Powell among the defendants. The suit, aimed at Israeli leaders whom it alleges committed "war crimes," is led by New York-based lawyer Stanley Cohen, an attorney for members of the terrorist group Hamas and other radical causes. Militant activist Abdurahman Alamoudi, a founder and longtime leader of the American Muslim Council (AMC) who describes himself as a supporter of Hamas and Hezbollah, joined Cohen at the news conference announcing the suit and made a statement in Arabic that was not translated into English.
Alamoudi told reporters that the suit "sends a message to the American Muslim community" that they need not be afraid of the U.S. government any more, and that they can now "challenge the system" through the courts. "We've been doing it politically and now we're going to do it legally," he said.
Cohen added that by filing the lawsuit, "We're trying to bring to the Palestinian struggle an avenue in the United States."
Attending the news conference but not openly part of the lawsuit was Sami Al-Arian, the controversial University of South Florida professor who was suspended after it was revealed that he occupies a significant position with the Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
The suit's anonymous plaintiffs focus their complaints on Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and the leaders of the Israeli military and security services, whom Cohen accuses of "genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity, racketeering, acts of murder and torture, bodily harm, arson, kidnapping," and other crimes. They target Bush and Powell for allegedly failing to comply with federal laws requiring the executive branch to certify to Congress if U.S.-made weapons exported abroad were used to commit human rights abuses. In this regard, the suit also targets American arms manufacturers, including Boeing, McConnell-Douglas, and Textron-Bell Helicopter. The plaintiffs also accuse American Jewish and Christian groups, including a Lutheran church, of crimes because they sent aid to an Israeli settlement in the West Bank.
Cohen wants the State Department to serve Sharon and the Israeli security chiefs with their papers so they can be sued in U.S. courts. Some of the anonymous plaintiffs are said to have American citizenship or residency, thus giving grounds for filing the suit in the United States.
The New York lawyer says he isn't worried about defending himself from criticism. His controversial statements include protestations that John Walker Lindh, who recently pleaded guilty for crimes relating to his service as a Taliban combatant, was innocent. Alamoudi, for his part, does show concern: "I'm worried. I know they will come after me." He says he expects "smear campaigns" and legal action from opponents of his cause.

Lots of players are in Lynne Stewart's closet.

Is Hillary Clinton Hostile to Both Israel and the Truth?  Mrs. Clinton's June 30, 2000 Federal Election Commission filing cited Alamoudi's May 25 donation of $1,000 to her war chest. Oddly enough, his occupation is not listed as "American Muslim Council" but "American Museum Council." The Clinton campaign calls this a typo.

Yes, I'll take that bet because Hillary will NEVER be President. Or maybe she will, but only after my immigrant tuckus sits in the Oval Office.
