Ashcroft's Subpoena Blitz By Noah Leavitt, FindLaw.com
In the 1950s and 60s, similar types of 'fishing expedition' subpoenas, as well as the threat of grand juries, were often used to harass political dissenters and their lawyers, as well as to threaten people with jail terms or other penalties if they did not act as an informer on their colleagues. Iowa Sen. Tom Harkin commented about the Drake situation, 'I don't like the smell of it...It reminds me too much of Vietnam when war protestors were rounded up, when grand juries were convened to investigate people who were protesting the war.'------------------------------------------- posted 8:32 AM :: reference link ::
