SubscribeRosenberg Heir Helps Terror Aiding Lawyer
From her fans at the terrorist enabling Reuters:
Lynne Stewart
N.Y. lawyer's case prompts debate on Bush tactics
By Christine Kearney
NEW YORK (Reuters) - The case of a New York attorney convicted of aiding terrorism has prompted debate among U.S. lawyers about whether the Bush administration wants to scare them away from representing terrorist defendants.
Lynne Stewart was convicted in February 2005 of helping a client smuggle messages to militant followers and is to be sentenced on Monday. She faces more than 15 years in prison.
"Her case is an example of the way in which the government is equating individuals who represent terrorists with terrorists themselves — that language of 'if you're not with us you're against us'," said Rachel Meeropol of the Center for Constitutional Rights.
"It's a scare tactic," she said. "It is worrisome that attorneys might become less able to represent out of fear of being prosecuted."
But Fordham University Law Professor James Cohen says Stewart "unquestionably broke the law" and the case would not deter other lawyers representing terrorism-related suspects.
Tagged as both heroine and radical leftist, Stewart, 67, is the only U.S. lawyer to be indicted on terrorism charges.
Since her 2002 indictment, she has spoken at rallies, endured a seven-month trial, been convicted, undergone treatment for cancer and become the subject of a documentary called "Who's Afraid of Lynne Stewart?"
Stewart says the case was brought as a message to lawyers.
"This case also has a bigger meaning - about how the Bush administration uses every opportunity to wave a terrorism flag and frighten people into subservience," she told Reuters in a telephone interview…
Stewart was convicted of helping her imprisoned client, Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman, to contact the Islamic Group, which the government lists as a terrorist organization, with messages prosecutors said could have ignited violence in Egypt.
Abdel-Rahman was found guilty in 1995 of conspiring to attack U.S. targets in a plot prosecutors said included the 1993 World Trade Center bombing…
At the time, U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales said Stewart's conviction sent "a clear, unmistakable message that this department will pursue both those who carry out acts of terrorism and those who assist them with their murderous goals."
Stewart said she was initially "flabbergasted" at being indicted, but now "regretted a certain level of carelessness" in reading a statement issued by the cleric to a Reuters reporter in Cairo…
Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman
How fitting that the proud granddaughter of the executed traitors Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, Rachel Meeropol of the Communist front Center for Constitutional Rights, should take up Stewart's cause.
And how typical that the Reuters report fails to note her noble ancestry or the equally noble work of the CCR, which is representing the terrorists being held in Guantanamo.
Of course the well known "matriot" Cindy Sheehan also considers Stewart a hero:
First, I want to give my little story about Lynne. Of course, you all have read To Kill a Mockingbird. Lynne is my human Atticus Finch. He did what he knew was right, but wasn’t popular. And that’s what Lynne is doing…
Sadly this traitor Stewart will probably get off with a slap on the wrist at best.

The irony is that Lynn Stewart has spent years enabling the people who killed Cindy Sheehan’s son, the one she cries about on cue whenever there is a camera around.
Mainstream media still have not gotten around to mentioning that, by enlisting in the army and then re-enlisting, Casey Sheehan essentially told his mother to drop dead and go to hell. But since she hates Bush, hates the USA and hates anything we do in our national interest, the networks and major newspapers would never take Casey’s side. Cindy is too valuable to the political views so many of them seem to have.
Cindy Sheehan is a seriously disturbed, unstable woman who has been mercilessly exploited by the hard left and much of the media. When they’ve milked her dry they’ll drop her like last week’s racing tips. I wonder if she’ll be cognizant enough to notice.
October 12th, 2006 at 4:46 pm
Please… Please… put pics like that as a link to a picture page or something marked “NSFE-Not-Safe-For-Eyes”
October 12th, 2006 at 4:57 pm
No wonder. She’d look _better_ in a hajib… One of the minority, don’t you think?
October 12th, 2006 at 5:00 pm
more criminal-turned-victim propaganda - favorite pastime of liberals - it seems to give them a few seconds of laugher to turn conventional wisdom on its head with no consideration of the impact - so the alternative is to ignore her criminal acts so we don’t ‘intimidate’ other lawyers?
October 12th, 2006 at 5:48 pm
“Tagged as both heroine and radical leftist, Stewart, 67, is the only U.S. lawyer to be indicted on terrorism charges.”
Excuse me Al-Reuters but you may want to change that to “convicted” of terrorism.
Hell’s bells, the MSM continues to push their agenda that this “terrorist lawyer” is innocent even after she has been convicted in a US court of law.
If there are attorneys out there reading this, please correct me if I am wrong but the attorney / client confidentiality privilege only extends so far. The “privilege” doesn’t allow you to conspire to break other laws.
What would be the difference if she, was defending some Mafioso who had her convey messages to his thugs outside the prison to knock off witnesses or others? Her behind would be in the wringer for conspiracy or accessory to murder as I see it.
Because her asshat client was a terrorist, this is supposed to be different legally than my scenario above..??
Perhaps my judicial reasoning is flawed but all I see in the Al-Reuters story is more “Hate America” propaganda from the moonbats of the LLL.
BTW, I think Ms. Stewart looks like John Denver after an all night bender, well, when he was alive. ;o)
October 12th, 2006 at 5:52 pm
Ken re your comment: Cindy Sheehan is a seriously disturbed, unstable woman who has been mercilessly exploited by the hard left and much of the media.
I don’t think so. She’s a self-absorbed, publicity-seeking attention-gathering whore.
Casey deserved a mother that was more compassionate, kind, loving, and supportive.
And please…..picture of Ms. Stewart or Mr. Stewart…no more!
Actually with the ’stache, I can tell if “it: is a man or woman. Republican women are so much more attractive.
October 12th, 2006 at 6:53 pm
Republican women are so much more attractive.
Because we don’t have years of self-imposed self-righteous indignation wearing us down. Seriously, those two could be siblings with their mugs.
October 12th, 2006 at 6:55 pm
SG - you made a mistake. You posted a picture of Michael Moore instead of Lynne Stewart. Now I gotta go wash my eyes out.
October 12th, 2006 at 7:39 pm
Nodems
I don’t dispute even one characterization that you posted. Mine are not mutually exclusive of yours.
Can we agree that neither of us would be buying her drinks at the no-tell motel bar, not even around closing time?
October 12th, 2006 at 9:03 pm
I think after awhile, her beard will look just like the man who was her imprisoned client.
Get the girl (?) a razor!!!!!!
October 12th, 2006 at 9:07 pm
“Tagged as both heroine and radical leftist, Stewart, 67, is the only U.S. lawyer to be indicted on terrorism charges.”
Excuse me Al-Reuters but you may want to change that to “convicted” of terrorism.
+++++
Nitpicker! LOL
But isn’t it amazing how our one party media is relentless in making these kind of “mistakes” in their articles.
They always bend over backwards to minimize the crimes of the people who hate this country. Always.
It shows how deeply their perversity runs.
October 12th, 2006 at 9:25 pm
I am going to spash bleach in my eyes to rid them of the sight of that compost heap of a face. Holy crap! Isnt there ANY decent looking leftist communist socialist anarchist traitor America loathing women out there? Any? People that self absorbed would be preening in the mirror constantly, wouldnt they? Oh…yeah. They dont. They just vomit their rage and shame of being misfits and unstable cast offs from childhood on the entire nation. Finally….they get attention paid to them. I really think they need some serious sessions with a professional who can deal with these holes with a straight face.
I cant. I mean, come on…look at the furrows on the fur lined gob in the picture. No wonder she acts like she does….she has to look at herself every day, and her image in the mirror is sticking it’s finger down it’s throat and gagging……traitors are usually ugly sumbeetches it seems. Runs in the genes, I guess. Probably would be normal if they would have been asked to the prom…..by a human. No, this fugly probably sat in the cab of a cornpicker in a dark field….playing Franky Vally on a cassett player and making smiley faces in the condensation on the window….and vowing to get even some day.
Well, here they are~!
October 12th, 2006 at 9:30 pm
I just hope J K Rowling does not get wind of this thing or she might extend the Harry Potter series with this thing as some kind of inspiration for what might adequately represent the evil that really lurks in the world today …..a book is one thing, but to see something like this in a theater? ‘Course, hopefully too the threat of an R-rating would force them to tone it down when they cast the part…..
October 12th, 2006 at 9:34 pm
I didn’t know all the background on this whack job of a lawyer, Stewart. Now I do. This woman is just flat out a “terrorist” in her own right..!! Check out these two articles from FrontPageMag;
http://www.frontpagemag.com/Ar.....sp?ID=3340
http://www.frontpagemag.com/Ar.....sp?ID=8414
She’s definitely a radical leftist socialist terrorist enabling asshat..!! She’s damn lucky the AG didn’t charge her with treason or sedition.
October 12th, 2006 at 9:37 pm
She needs to be “rosenberg’d”
October 12th, 2006 at 9:52 pm
LOL…Your wish may not be granted there SJ but as they say, hope springs eternal or something like that.
At minimum, she’s due a good taterin’..!!!
October 12th, 2006 at 9:55 pm
I agree GM….I realize that is sounds rather dramatic…but to me, people who are openly seditious to this country shouldnt be afforded the protections it offers. Our conservative freedom of speech is fast dissappearing due to media agendas…and it would just feel good to pop this fat whore in the noggin with a tater stick….just so she realizes what a huge sloppy pile of reeking steaming dogshit she is.
October 12th, 2006 at 10:07 pm
Speaking of terrorists, from the UK’s Daily Mail;
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pag.....ge_id=1770
“A British Muslim terrorist mastermind faces life in jail after he admitted plotting a radioactive ‘dirty bomb’ attack in the UK and a string of devastating atrocities in the USA.
Dhiren Barot, 34, planned to kill “as many innocent people as possible” by blowing up some of the world’s largest financial institutions including the New York Stock Exchange, the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank.”
This mooselimb needs a good taterin’ too..!!
October 12th, 2006 at 10:08 pm
Oh my gosh what a photo. I’m going to go wash my eyes out with lighter fluid now. Another proud product of feminism, in both looks and ideology.
October 12th, 2006 at 10:44 pm
Kilmeny Now you made me feel real, real bad. That was the best drunk’in punk’in carving I’ve done to date. HAPPY HALLOWEEN.
October 13th, 2006 at 12:46 am
I don’t know who is uglier…the one eyed maniac she defended or her.
Electrolysis…good God woman. She is living proof that you can fall out of the ugly tree and hit every freaking branch before hittin the ground. Lord have mercy.
U…G…L….Y…..yer ugly, yer ugly and I can’t tell you why.
October 13th, 2006 at 12:58 am
eq stole my thunder with the siblings crack.
It’s no crime to be ugly. Mother Teresa wasn’t much to look at, but when I saw her I saw humility, love, and the power to bring hope into hopelessness.
Nonetheless what we’ve got here is a pair of ugly criminals. Their intertwined histories speak of the opposite of humility, the extinction of love, the desire to inflict maximum despair.
Their pictures hurt my eyes all the way down to my brain.
Off to nightmare land.
October 13th, 2006 at 2:48 pm
Ken,
Re: Can we agree that neither of us would be buying her drinks at the no-tell motel bar, not even around closing time?
Sure, but no more sympathy about how people are using her. She’s loving being the center of attention.
October 16th, 2006 at 3:46 pm
Here’s refreshing news! Finally, a terrorist sympathizer gets prison! Finally! Somebody is listening!
NEW YORK (Reuters) - A New York attorney convicted of aiding terrorism by helping a client smuggle messages to militant followers was sentenced on Monday to 28 months in prison.
Lynne Stewart, 67, was convicted in February 2005 of helping her imprisoned client, Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman, to contact the Islamic Group, which is listed by the U.S. government as a terrorist organization.
Prosecutors said messages Stewart passed on for Abdel-Rahman could have ignited violence in Egypt. The sheikh was convicted in 1995 of conspiring to attack U.S. targets in a plot prosecutors said included the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
Stewart, long a defender of the poor and unpopular, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge John Koeltl in Manhattan federal court. Her supporters rallied outside the courthouse chanting and carrying banners.
October 16th, 2006 at 4:00 pm
Unfortunately SJ, IMHO, her sentence is a mere slap on the wrist. She could have received 30 years for her terrorism convictions. Of course, Al-Reuters still supports this terrorist enabling a**wipe;
http://today.reuters.com/news/.....amp;rpc=22
Maybe I shouldn’t be so cynical, she could have received probation. Now that would have thoroughly p*ssed me off..!!!
October 16th, 2006 at 5:31 pm
Another update that will surely cause S & L regulars to fume;
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/200.....or_trial_9
Ahmed Sattar was Stewart’s paralegal…!!! She gets 28 months and he gets 24 years…WTF..!!!
To really spool you up Judge Koeltl was a Clinton appointee, naturally.
October 16th, 2006 at 5:46 pm
With a little luck, She will die in prison And I hope violantly.
October 16th, 2006 at 5:50 pm
What a terribly written article. Of course, it was all about the injustices against her. So, what was the postal clerk’s role that he got 24 years?!!! Don’t these people have editors? Well, unbrainwashed, lobotomized ones?
October 16th, 2006 at 6:04 pm
Wamp stated, “So, what was the postal clerk’s role that he got 24 years?!!! ”
I was wondering the same thing Wamp. Did Sattar, as Stewart’s paralegal, actually commit / aid and abet more acts of terrorism than his boss, the lawyer? FoxNews has an article with a link to the indictment here;
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,221097,00.html
But that is just the indictment, not the illegal acts of terrorism the trio were truly convicted of. If Stewart and Sattar were convicted of basically the same offenses, it is quite brazenly of this a**hat judge to sentence them so disparately.
October 16th, 2006 at 6:47 pm
With time served she will likely do NO time at all. Maybe Ahmed Sattar should have buddied up with Soros??
http://www.nationalreview.com/.....170843.asp
October 16th, 2006 at 6:59 pm
So, this horrible woman with no scruples gets merely a mild slap on the wrist for treason.
Didn’t the evil Soros fund her defense?
With appeals still left on the table she’ll die but not behind bars.
Where the hell is the RNC? With something, anything. Damn.
October 16th, 2006 at 8:01 pm
Bless you all - I needed a good laugh today and you all made me laugh. My mom use to say that when you let anger consume your soul, it shows on the outside and believe me with lying BSCS and this she/he dog Stewart - it is obvious that the vile, hatefilled anger they live with has consumed all the attractiveness out of their souls and their faces.
I am not a ‘knockout’ woman but man these two women are really nasty looking and it just has to come from somewhere.
October 16th, 2006 at 9:04 pm
Of course she got away with a mild slap on the wrist.
From Reuters:
October 16th, 2006 at 9:08 pm
This woman could scare the wrinkles off a bulldog’s ass! I was hasty in my post that she got sentenced….later I learned that she was sentenced to MONTHS and not Years. That is unfortunate, because now she understands how easily she can be caught aiding terrorists and carrying orders to the others on the outside at the behest of their leader. I may be overstepping my bounds here..(right) but perhaps this woman should suffer a different fate. One reserved for vile pigs that commit the highest form of treason….using our constitution to assist in the deaths of hundreds of people. I do hope she dies.
October 16th, 2006 at 9:44 pm
Wardmama4,
You should never sell yourself short, From your posts I see a lovely lady.
But you are right ugly does come from somewhere, The ugliest things come from the soul.
So to honor snags the world over I submit a poem I learned as a child.
Beauty is only skin deep
Ugly is all the way to the bone
Beauty fades with age
But ugly holds its own
October 16th, 2006 at 10:02 pm
I am not a ‘knockout’ woman…
DEZ,
I’ll do the story.
You do the illustrations.
We’ll get her sorted out.
There’s no such thing as an unattractive conservative woman.
October 16th, 2006 at 10:06 pm
*There’s no such thing as an unattractive conservative woman.*
Damn straight.
Can I do the illistrations after the 1st of the year,
Im burned out.
OOOOOOOh a nude behind Steve’s bar?
Tell him to put away the blunderbust.
OH DW Check your email.
October 16th, 2006 at 10:29 pm
WM4..if you say you arent a knockout woman, I bet you look really really pretty! Most lookers always say they dont look that good. What you write shows your character, and your character shows your soul, and your soul shows up in your looks. So there!!!.
Now, I gotta get the hose on DEZ and DW before they get carried away.
October 16th, 2006 at 10:33 pm
No man hoses me down.
Hit me with a tater stick but put the hose away.
October 16th, 2006 at 10:37 pm
Ok DEZ, I will have to lure you away from the bar with steroscope images of the women of S&L!
October 16th, 2006 at 10:40 pm
OOOOOOOOOOOOh.
I will just toss a brand new highly polished osage orange tater stick
in front on a snag.
October 16th, 2006 at 10:45 pm
Hey, I like that! Osage orange is a wonderfully hard hard wood too! I am gonna start a collection of tater sticks made from various woods from all over the country! I will have to enlist everyone to send me the hardest limb in their area, peel it, cure it, seal it, and hang it up on the “tater wall”.
When the “reunion time” comes, we will beat the hell out of snag faced watermelons….man, I can see it now!
October 16th, 2006 at 10:54 pm
Osage is super hard if ya use the core wood.
I am impressed sir, Your knowledge of tatering wood is unsurpassed.
And for peeps new to the term its also called a hedge apple tree.
SJ never ceases to amaze me.
