"Argentina and Brazil: Regaining Sovereignty": <http://montages.blogspot.com/2005/03/argentina-and-brazil-regaining.html> -- Yoshie
From the above:
>>Good news for Argentina. Judge Thomas Griesa sided with Argentina, lifting "a freeze on $7 billion in bonds" challenged by NML Capital Ltd. (Erin McClam/Associated Press, "Judge Sides with Argentina in Debt Case," BusinessWeek 29 Mar. 2005).<<
Now, there's a blast from the past. Griesa was the judge in the SWP suit against the FBI in the 1970s. The party sought an injunction against FBI Cointelpro type interference and $36 million in damages. It won the injunction but Griesa reduced the cash indemnity to $246,000.
One of the high points of the trial, which took place in the Federal Courts in downtown NYC, was Stephen Cohen's testimony. Cohen was an SWP expert witness who was there to make the case that the Russian Revolution did not involve illegal activities or violence. Griesa was obviously swayed by Cohen's testimony.
