Justice Dept. Asked For News Site's Visitor Lists
Posted by Declan McCullagh

(AP / CBS)
In a case that raises questions about online journalism and privacy rights, the U.S. Department of Justice sent a formal request to an independent news site ordering it to provide details of all reader visits on a certain day.

The grand jury subpoena also required the Philadelphia-based Indymedia.us Web site "not to disclose the existence of this request" unless authorized by the Justice Department, a gag order that presents an unusual quandary for any news organization.

Kristina Clair, a 34-year old Linux administrator living in Philadelphia who provides free server space for Indymedia.us, said she was shocked to receive the Justice Department's subpoena. (The Independent Media Center is a left-of-center amalgamation of journalists and advocates that – according to their principles of unity and mission statement – work toward "promoting social and economic justice" and "social change.")

On this show I am joined by two longtime indymedia activists and we discuss a wide range of topics with a focus on the indymedia network in relation to 9/11 truth, left gatekeeping, working with activists from diverse political backgrounds and the global importance of this issue that cuts to heart of the empire. Chris Burnett has been a part of indymedia since its inception in Seattle at the WTO protests, is a co-founder of IMC Los Angeles and the host of Indymedia On Air on Pacifica's KPFK in Los Angeles. Chris C has been politically active since the Poll Tax protests in the late 80s in England and works with indymedia UK. In the second segment I talk to Bruno Bruhwiler from We Are Change LA about making banners and standing up to FOX News in defense of free speech.
