FBI Apology to Portland Lawyer
My Way News has another article on Brandon Mayfield, the Portland lawyer that was wrongly arrested for the Madrid bombings. The FBI has issued a rare apology, and it looks like Mayfield might sue. Hopefully this will draw more attention to the abuses of the Patriot Act.Also, the NY Times (!) has a scathing editorial about the case.
The Justice Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation ought to hang their heads in shame over the mistaken arrest and jailing of a Muslim lawyer in Oregon who was supposed to be a material witness in the Madrid train bombing case.Finally, the Times even made reference to it in a surprisingly well-done examination of Bush's latest commercial.
