WROTE: > >Morgan was NOT taking those photos as a PJ - he was taking those photos > >as a paid publicist for Greenpeace.<<<< Hi B.D. It appears in this case he's no more than a paid "commercial photographer" on assignment for Green Peace. Regardless of whether he's a highly respected and talented photojournalist or not. In this case he has all the appearance of a guy hired to take pictures to be used by Green Peace to promote one of their demonstrations. So big deal, the guy gets hired, he gets arrested as he's in cahoots with them and then makes a big deal out of "freedom of the press" etc etc etc making the FBI look like the bad guys. And if I were the judge in this case I'd throw the whole thing out, as it's such a mickey mouse trivial thing that the money spent on the whole deal would be better spent for children to have better learning and understanding of what will make the world a better place for all. ted Ted Grant Photography Limited www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
