The JTA's Bizarro Attack on Neo-Cons
By IRA STOLL
July 3, 2009

But it certainly puts paid the idea that the courts should have, as they did, dismissed out of hand Black’s insistence that he was wrongly convicted and that serious errors were made in the trial that cast him into the penitentiary for what could be as much as 6 and ½ years.
