Interesting how little condemnation we've heard about this lawyer who was found guilty of assisting terrorists.

Lawyer Convicted Of Helping Terrorists Questions Wiretapping In Her Case
ny1.com

A civil rights lawyer convicted of assisting terrorists is questioning whether she was the victim of warrantless wiretapping.

Lynne Stewart filed a petition in Manhattan federal court Monday asking whether the government illegally spied on her or anyone involved in her case.

She charges that may have affected the outcome of her trial.

Her sentencing has been postponed indefinitely following her diagnosis of breast cancer in November.

Stewart was convicted last year of helping pass prison messages from her client, Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman, to his followers.

The blind Egyptian cleric is in prison for his role in a 1995 plot to blow up New York City landmarks.
