Some background on this:

"Lt. Cmdr. Walter Francis Fitzpatrick III was arrested on 4/01/2010 but has, as of 11:30 AM, april 6th been released.
He was officially being detained, against his will which makes him a political prisoner!
The story is this:

Lt. Cmdr. Walter Fitzpatrick and I, along with five other patriots, went to the Monroe County [TN] courthouse Thursday, April 1, to serve some criminal arrest warrants
While Fitzpatrick filed for the warrants at the court clerk’s office, James Bowman and I called the Madisonville Police Department to tell them we planned to make a citizen’s arrest at the courthouse and we wanted a police officer to go with us. The police dispatcher told us an officer was on his way to help us.
James Bowman and I then went to the courthouse to help Fitzpatrick serve the warrants. We covered all the exits to be sure Gary Pettway couldn’t leave undetected.

According to Tennessee law, the term of a grand jury foreman is limited to no more than two years. City and county officials have refused to investigate Monroe County Judge Carroll L. Ross for convening grand juries using the same jury foreman, Gary D. Pettway, for the past 27 years.

More background on the events of the citizen arrests:

"These are the documents that were filed with the Clerk of Court in Monroe County, TN and used to attempt the arrest of those so noted. [found at the link below]
Clerk refused to issue Arrest Warrants but stamped his Docs. as having been received.
You'll first hear Mr. Fitzpatrick [Windows media audio file] filing all the appropriate documents in the clerks office and then proceeding to arrest Mr. Pettway. Then he arrests Deputy Sherriff Byrum... When the Madisonville Police did arrive, outside the court house, Mr. Fitzpatrick explained the law to them, they understood but allowed the Sherriffs to arrest him anyway.
They failed to uphold their oaths by not taking Pettway and Byrum into custody. Only question is..,
who will, if not you,
when will you, if not now,
where will it happen, if not Madisonville?
The recording [Windows media audio file] below was done on the 16th of April and clearly shows Mr. Fitzpatrick was ordered to appear before an officer of the court (phsycologist/phsyciatrist) and did, without any representation by a court appointed atty. It is also the first time in fifteen (15) that days he was Mirandized."

And, the very beginning of this issue (Lt. Cmdr. Fitzpatrick filing a charge of treason against Obama):

"Tuesday, 17 March 2009
To Mr. Barack Obama
Via: U.S Attorney Russell Dedrick, and Assistant U.S. Attorney Edward Schmutzer, Eastern District, Tennessee
From: Walter Francis Fitzpatrick, III, United States Navy Retired
Distribution: Wide
SUBJECT: CRIMINAL ALLEGATIONS REGARDING THE COMMISSION OF TREASON
I have observed and extensively recorded invidious attacks by military-political aristocrats against the Constitution for twenty years.
Now you have broken in and entered the White House by force of contrivance, concealment, conceit, dissembling, and deceit. Posing as an impostor president and commander in chief you have stripped civilian command and control over the military establishment. Known military criminal actors—command racketeers—are now free in the exercise of military government intent upon destruction of America’s constitutional government.
Free from constitutional restraint, and following your criminal example, military commanders deployed U.S. Army active duty combat troops into the small civilian community of Samson, Alabama last week in a demonstration of their newly received despotic, domestic police power.
We come now to this reckoning. I accuse you and your military-political criminal assistants of TREASON. I name you and your military criminal associates as traitors. Your criminal ascension manifests a clear and present danger. You fundamentally changed our form of government. The Constitution no longer works.
Confident holding your silent agreement and admission, I identify you as a foreign born domestic enemy.
My sworn duty Mr. Obama is to stand against what you stand for. You are not my president. You are not my commander in chief.
Obedient to the Constitution in submission of this criminal accusation I remain steadfast, and
Born fighting, /s/ (notarized) Walter Francis Fitzpatrick, III United States Naval Academy, Class of 1975"

And paramount among the responsibilities of a free press is the duty to prevent any part of the government from deceiving the people.
