The website’s founder
and managing editor Eric Garris, along with longtime editorial director Justin
Raimondo, filed a lawsuit in federal court, demanding the release of records
they believe the FBI is keeping on them and the 17-year-old online magazine.
Antiwar.com says this
is one more example of post-9/11 government overreach, and a stark reminder
that the First Amendment has been treated as little more than a speed bump on
the road to a government surveillance state. The lawsuit is particularly timely,
considering recent scandals in which the Department of Justice secretly seized
months of journalists’ phone records at the Associated Press, and did the same
and more to a FOX News reporter, while the IRS is acknowledging it singled out
conservative groups that criticize the government for extra scrutiny.
