Journalists Protest Gag Order: “The Electronic Frontier Foundation will represent a Seattle journalist collective that is
the target of a police probe and court-imposed gag order.
On Saturday evening, FBI agents visited the downtown offices of the Independent Media Center and
handed the group a court order — apparently related to the Quebec City trade summit — that also
instructed the media organization not to publish the contents of the order…
Still unclear is what the gag order says, or doesn’t say. The Seattle Post-Intelligencer
reported on Tuesday that the FBI visit was connected to the online publishing of
security plans from the high-level trade summit held last weekend. Jill Freidberg, a Seattle IMC spokeswoman, said that “what was put out on the Seattle
P-I is filled with unfathomable inaccuracies” but, citing the gag order, refused to
provide details.” Wired
