- The federal government's attack on James Sanders and
his wife and colleagues in an effort first to prevent the publication of
his book...and once that failed to punish him for his efforts by arrest
and prosecution... is one of the most egregious and blatant violations
of Freedom Of The Press in American history. Sanders' book proposes that
the U.S. Navy shotdown TWA Flight 800. Sanders worst "crime"
was allowing Flight 800 debris to be subjected to independent testing.
Unlike Sanders, the Federal Govt continues to conceal its own
test-findings
of the same residue Sanders had tested, a
"crime" for which he
was arrested and prosecuted.

- (The Red Residue: http://www.flight800.org/res.html)
The Government has enforced the standard that concealing the evidence is
proper and revealing it is a crime.

- Even while on probation for his
crimes against the cover-up
of Flight 800, he's fighting the cover-up
with his new website: http://altered-evidence.com . The
following
is an excellent overview of the Federal Govt's merciless
criminal persecution
of James Sanders:

800 Book Shrouded In Secrecy http://newsmax

- Freelance investigative author James Sanders has a new
book coming out on the TWA Flight 800 disaster entitled Altered Evidence.
But given his recent experience at the hands of federal prosecutors,
Sanders
has decided to take some extraordinary precautions.
-
- Why? Because, when he
penned 1997's The Downing of TWA
Flight 800, the Clinton Justice
Department went after everybody associated
with the book's publication
in search of evidence against Sanders and his
wife Elizabeth.
-
- In an outrageous
breach of his First Amendment guarantees
as a working journalist,
Sanders was convicted last year of conspiracy
to remove evidence from
the Calverton, Long Island, hanger where wreckage
of TWA 800 had been
reassembled.
-
- A TWA employee had voluntarily given Sanders seat fabric
from
the plane, which he promptly subjected to lab analysis. Tests revealed
rocket fuel residue, suggesting that a missile had brought down the
ill-fated
Boeing 747 just minutes after it took off from JFK
International. Because
Mrs. Sanders had spoken by phone several times
with her husband's source,
she was prosecuted as well.
-
- The author gave
NewsMax.com a preview of his new book's
acknowledgments:
-
- "The last time I
wrote an acknowledgment to thank
those who touched my life in some
meaningful way during the investigation
of government wrongdoing was
March 1997 as The Downing of TWA Flight 800
went to press. Virtually
everyone thanked in that acknowledgment, from
publisher to agent to
friends, soon became victims of federal harassment
and
intimidation.
-
- "The Justice Department used the book's acknowledgment
section as a virtual roadmap to neutralize that which placed them at risk.
It has been a long journey from March 1997 to November 1999. My wife Liz
and I have survived. Because of the efforts of many people, I have been
able to use the ordeal of indictment to accumulate additional, compelling
evidence of federal lawlessness and corruption.
-
- "Kensington Publishing was
raided by the FBI. The
movie producer holding the option on the book
was severely leaned on to
not go forward with the project [he will not
talk to the media]. A letter
arrived the next day canceling the
contract. My agent faced the real prospect
of being indicted as a
co-conspirator, had to retain counsel at significant
expense.
-
- "Liz's best
friend at TWA, listed in the acknowledgments,
also had to retain an
attorney and negotiated a deal to avoid possible
indictment. Virtually
everyone at TWA identified as a friend of Liz was
subject to
interrogation. Senior TWA management was leaned on to fire her.
The FBI
swept through our neighborhood in Williamsburg, wanting to know
if I
was ever seen carrying guns outside the home -- shades of Ruby
Ridge.
-
- "In summation, it is impossible today in America
to
publish Altered Evidence without treating everyone involved as a sensitive
source requiring journalistic protection."
