In the off chance that you haven't read it elsewhere, we'all been havin' some "fun" here in Phoenix....
In a breathtaking abuse of the United States Constitution, Sheriff Joe Arpaio, Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas, and their increasingly unhinged cat's paw, special prosecutor Dennis Wilenchik, used the grand jury to subpoena "all documents related to articles and other content published by Phoenix New Times newspaper in print and on the Phoenix New Times website, regarding Sheriff Joe Arpaio from January 1, 2004 to the present." Every note, tape, and record from every story written about Sheriff Arpaio by every reporter over a period of years. In addition to the omnibus subpoena, which referred to our writer Stephen Lemons directly, reporters John Dougherty and Paul Rubin were targeted with individual subpoenas. More alarming still, Arpaio, Thomas, and Wilenchik subpoenaed detailed information on anyone who has looked at the New Times Web site since 2004. Every individual who looked at any story, review, listing, classified, or retail ad over a period of years.

Since then, the two owners of New Times have been arrested for disclosing the Grand Jury information and then released because of allegedly public outcry (is there really some hope for this country?). Those links can be found on the right margin of the article at this link: http://www.freedomsphoenix.com/Find-Freedom.htm?At=025477 <http://www.freedomsphoenix.com/Find-Freedom.htm?At=025477> The comments at the end of each of the articles are well worth reading also. People publicly taunt Sheriff "Joke" to come and get them! Enjoy! Dennis
