Al-Haramain Islamic Foundation v. George W. Bush: Surveilling a surveillance case
Zombie dropped by the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit to watch the oral argument in the case of Al-Haramain Islamic Foundation v. George W. Bush. His post is a fascinating journey into the heart of radical politics, the bizarre alliance of activist left and Islamic radicalism, and mainstream media coverage of same. Perhaps more importantly, Zombie’s work is so rich with links that it will serve as an important resource for any reporter who wants to do anything beyond writing down a left-wing lawyer’s talking points.
Zombie is well-known in certain circles for his extended deconstructions of suspicious “journalism.” His analysis of the media’s coverage of an incident in last summer’s war between Israel and Hezbollah is a work of art.

That is a remarkable post! And very frightening.
I found the last bit, about the media coverage of the attorneys as they left the courthouse to be particularly interesting. Once more we can see just how the news is processed, to be spoon-fed to us proles. Those are remarkable pictures–most especially the two pictures of Bondy, President Bush’s attorney; first the close up of him as he comes out of the doors of the courthouse, and then the picture giving the full context of the moment. Astounding.
Thanks for linking to this essay, Tigerhawk.
