This
piece posted on the Weekly Standard web site is about the recent lawsuit filed by the Islamic Society of Boston claiming that the Boston Herald, Channel 25, and their sources conspired to block the construction of a new mosque by falsely linking the ISB to terrorism. The defendants claim the ISB is using the litigation to intimidate folks from asking tough questions about its activities and connections.(See
Trial and Terror in the Nov. 18 Boston Phoenix.)
At this point, I don't know nearly enough to make a call on which party has more of the truth and justice on their side. Not surprisingly, however, the Standard piece is completely tilted to one point of view. And you can bet that it's only the beginning of a spate of national publicity as this far-reaching, potentially precedent-setting and incredibly polarizing case unfolds.
