Comment on Addington: The Legal Mind Behind the Imperial Presidency by Anthony Moss

I work with The Chicago International Documentary Festival, and we’re hosting the U.S. premiere of a profoundly disturbing documentary which contains subject matter that should be of great interest to you. It’s about the nature of undercover police tactics, such as entrapment and coercion and injustices associated with allowing confessions as evidence during trials.
Please see the press release below for more information.

THE CHICAGO INTERNATIONAL DOCUMENTARY FESTIVAL TO HOST U.S. PREMIERE OF “MR. BIG,” APRIL 11 & 12, 2008

CHICAGO, IL – The docsPace series of The Chicago International Documentary Festival (CIDF) will showcase the U.S. premiere of the provocative documentary film Mr. Big on April 11 & 12, 2008 at 7:00 PM at the Gallery Theatre, 1112 N. Milwaukee Ave., Chicago. A discussion with director Tiffany Burns will follow the presentation.

The film is a critical expose about the Canadian police operation called Mr. Big, a little-known undercover sting initiated for the purpose of eliciting confessions from suspects of crimes where little forensic evidence exists. This shocking documentary forces us to question the tactics used by authorities in criminal investigations, especially in the wake of the controversy surrounding The Patriot Act. Could coercive tactics, such as those employed by Mr. Big, represent the future of criminal investigation in America? Doug Davison, producer of The Departed, calls Mr. Big “the best documentary I’ve seen in years. This is a movie people need to see.”

Director Tiffany Burns, a professional journalist, was personally affected by Mr. Big when her brother was targeted by the undercover sting and subsequently jailed for a crime which he maintains he did not commit. Following the screening, Ms. Burns will engage the audience in a question and answer discussion about the issues surrounding the film, including the fairness of undercover police tactics like those used by Mr. Big.

Tickets are $8 for general admission, $7 for students and seniors. Please call (773) 486-9612 or visit ww.chicagodocfestival.org for information & reservation. Free parking is available.

docsPace is a year-round program between CIDF editions which puts the spotlight on remarkable true stories from all over the world and provides an opportunity to catch exclusive previews and premieres of outstanding new documentary films.

Comment on Muhammed Salah Case History by Can't Tell

Muhammed Salah is innocent. My cousin knows his children, and they are very unhappy right now. My dad met him two days before the trial at a mosque. He was tortured. A true Muslim won’t lie, especially in a mosque. This is just another lie from the Bush administration.

Matt-

Thanks for keeping the NLG web page updated with info on Salah. Who is planning on going to the hearings and vigil next Monday? What about the public vigil later in the week?

Does anyone know if federal cases are assigned randomly, like state criminal cases?

If not, it would seem weird that St. Eve, a relatively inexperienced judge, would be assigned this high-profile case. What do you guys think of St. Eve?
