'Unabomber' Lawyer Will Represent Alleged Giffords Shooter Jared Lee Loughner
http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2011/01/unabomber_lawyer_will_represent_alleged_giffords_shooter_jared_lee_loughner.php?ref=fpblg

Judy Clarke, who represented "Unabomber" Ted Kaczynski and assisted in the case of confessed al-Qaeda operative Zacarias Moussaoui, has been appointed to represent Jared Lee Loughner, the man charged by federal authorities with two murders as well as the attempted assassination of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) and two others.

Citing a federal judicial source, CNN reported that Clarke will represent Loughner at his hearing, which will take place Monday at 2 p.m. in front of U.S. Magistrate Judge Lawrence Anderson at the Sandra Day O'Connor Courthouse in Phoenix, Arizona. Clarke did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

11. The media and the right are trying to cast him as an unstable 'leftist.'

Now he's directly tied to the Unabomber, who they successfully cast as an unstable leftist.

2. Limited legal options: insanity or if not possible, keep him from execution.

Those lousy liberal activist judges, again, making you pay for lawyers. I say, no lawyer, just make 'em dig their own grave and hang 'em at dawn.

Cheez-itz.

12. No - our tax dollars are paying right now.
I assume that he will (hopefully) soon get his own attorney. I am sure that our Justice Department is praying for him to get his own representation.

13. CT's think they used her to shut him up.

Unabomber has a bunch of CT's connected to him.

Unabomb and mind control experiments...

Ted K., the CIA & LSD

It turns out that Theodore Kaczynski, a.k.a. the Unabomber, was a volunteer in mind-control experiments sponsored by the CIA at Harvard in the late 1950s and early 1960s.

Michael Mello, author of the recently published book, "The United States of America vs. Theodore John Kaczynski," notes that at some point in his Harvard years--1958 to 1962--Kaczynski agreed to be the subject of "a psychological experiment." Mello identifies the chief researcher for these only as a lieutenant colonel in World War II, working for the CIA's predecessor organization, the Office of Strategic Services. In fact, the man experimenting on the young Kaczynski was Dr. Henry Murray, who died in 1988.

Murray became preoccupied by psychoanalysis in the 1920s, drawn to it through a fascination with Herman Melville's "Moby Dick," which he gave to Sigmund Freud, who duly made the excited diagnosis that the whale was a father figure. After spending the 1930s developing personality theory, Murray was recruited to the OSS at the start of the war, applying his theories to the selection of agents and also presumably to interrogation.

As chairman of the Department of Social Relations at Harvard, Murray zealously prosecuted the CIA's efforts to carry forward experiments in mind control conducted by Nazi doctors in the concentration camps. The overall program was under the control of the late Sidney Gottlieb, head of the CIA's technical services division. Just as Harvard students were fed doses of LSD, psilocybin and other potions, so too were prisoners and many unwitting guinea pigs.

That's reason alone to not use this lawyer.

Really dumb idea. Sometimes I think they want CT's out there.

14. I guess Clarke doesn't mind another in the "L" column

She's all about representing the canaries in the crazed right wing coal mine.
