Peltier attorneys argue Freedom of Information case in Minneapolis

In an ongoing legal battle with the Minneapolis Field Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), lawyers for political prisoner Leonard Peltier will argue in court on Friday, April 15, 2005 , for the release of some 90,000 pages of information contained in an investigation file opened by the Bureau nearly 30 years ago.

In 2002, the Peltier attorneys filed Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests with FBI headquarters & the Central Intelligence Agency in Washington , DC , as well as 35 FBI Field Offices throughout the country. They learned that the government has withheld over 140,000 documents regarding the Peltier case.

1. Thank you Judi.

Leonard Peltier has lived in hell for so many years based on lies. I remember when this happened, it didn't smell right then and nothing has changed. I'm still disgusted with Clinton for not pardoning him. Let's pray that the FOIA requests help.

2. I agree with you on Clinton's failure.

With all of the sleaze merchants he pardoned, why not Peltier, who has languished for decades as nothing but a political prisoner. I hope he can be released, but he has already given his life in white America's gulag...

5. Time is a cannibal that devours the flesh of your years

Doing time creates a demented darkness of my own imagination; doing time does this thing to you. But of course, you don't do time. You do without it. Or rather, time does you. Time is a cannibal that devours the flesh of your years day by day, bite by bite."
