#1 And here's the Reuters spin:

A New York defense lawyer was convicted on Thursday of aiding terrorism by helping a client send violent messages to militant followers in a case that critics say could hinder the defense of future terrorism suspects.

Lynne Stewart, 65, a feisty defender of the poor and unpopular, was accused in the closely watched case of violating an agreement made with the U.S. Justice Department to limit contact between her client, Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman, and the outside world.

#8 In the spirit of what Mrs. D said, while Stewart is awaiting her appeal, would it be possible for her guards to place the warden's panties on her head? You know, that way she'll feel like part of the gang she likes to run with...

I hope to Christ that's true.

#10 badanov, I hope that you are wrong, but in the right direction.

I hope that it sinks all possiblity of cohesive defense of true terrorists. Leaving them without recourse to communicating messages to coordinate attacks from within prison or escapes.

You simply did not take it far enough, badanov.

#12 This phrase jumped out at me: "... for conspiring to assassinate Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and destroy several New York landmarks, ..."

Yeah, they were just trying to destroy landmarks, not kill anybody. Sheesh!

#15 # 13 Mojo you are right- a lawyer has no privilage to break the law. It is said
"a lawyer can be the biggest law breaker of them all". which is why so many do not like to hire a lawyer or recommend one! Who was Ms. Stewart defense counsel? I doubt she will win an appeal
or new trial etc. I hope that she was NOT WRONGFULLY CONVICTED or simply painted a criminal at her trial- which happens to so many defendants. Our prisons are filled with innocent citizens.***

#18 "To rid ourselves of the entrenched, voracious type of capitalism that is in this country that perpetuates sexism and racism, I don't think that can come nonviolently."

Sorry. Go to Jail. Go directly to jail. Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200.00.

#22 As we contemplate this news, let us recall Stewart's thoughts on freedom of speech:

I don't have any problem with Mao or Stalin or the Vietnamese leaders or certainly Fidel locking up people they see as dangerous.

Stewart, at a young age lamented the untimely death of her mentor due to a bucket of water. She vowed never to suffer such a fate herself. Now, in the twilight of her career, she has succumbed to a far more painful end...

#30 It isn't just the stringy, unwashed hair that does it for me... it's the charming facial expression.

#32 I almost lost it when Dan Blather said, "Lynne Stewart, a respected criminal lawyer, was convicted today". I watch CBS occasionally for comic relief but this just blew me out of the water.

#34 No she IS respected by the MSM and the LLL. She got what she has coming. I expect appeal after appeal however. It's only natural she is a lawyer after all.
