this:
"There certainly are lawyer-client issues to be discussed where conversations between clients and their attorneys are monitored, even if the authority to do such monitoring applies to only 16 of the 158,000 inmates in the federal system and each prisoner is told in advance that such monitoring to prevent terrorism will be taking place and none of the information that is protected by attorney-client privilege can be used for prosecution. "

seems to be at odds with this:

"Tigar is mounting a vigorous defense of his client, even though Judge Koeltl has refused to require the Justice Department to disclose whether or not it is conducting surveillance on Stewart-Tigar communications"

I am trying to figure out why Stewart should be forbidden from giving her opinion of her client's politics regarding another country. The US is not an organ of the Egyptian government. Seems to me that the SAM is unconstitutional, as a form of prior restraint on speech. I can't wait to see how the case turns out.
