There's a good piece in the current ish of Reason (not on web) on the Justice Dept's attempts to criminalize being a defense attorney. It's not just Stewart they're after - it's an entire pattern. Of course the Stewart prosecution is politically scarier. She's not being charged under the PATRIOT Act, because her alleged offenses were committed before that law was passed. Under the PATRIOT Act, the very defense of an accused "terrorist" could itself be prosecuted as terrorism.
