Jacks Docket - Send Lawyers, Guns, and Money


Page Date: 2/11/05 Updated: 5/11/2005 Case Related Links: Hot Links: SuperPats - Veritas et Libertas- Truth is Liberty. Hard jobs, hard assignments, and sometimes hard luck. But when the truth is finally told, the world will know that these men were the type you don't find anymore, committed to the liberty of America, the defeat of terrorists, for God, and Country... no holds barred. Footnote: SO/LIC - The Office of The Assistant Secretary of Defense For Special Operations and Low Intensity Conflict-- the proponent agency for direction, deployment, and policy for all US Special Operations and Special Forces units in the world Khawar vs. Globe International, Inc, 10 CAL 4th 254 (1998) cert. denied, 526 U.S. 114 (1999) Note: "U.S." as in; United States Supreme Court Note 2: Pizzulli also won an injunction from the court, and had 50,000 books delivered to Khawar's Farm, where they held a bonfire picnic and burned all 50,000 books.	Fighting Jack In 1975, Jack went through Phase I of the Special Forces Qualification Course (SFQC). On the last night of selection, the group was told the course was over, and told to stand down in a base camp. At dawn's light, the camp was raided by the 82nd Airborne Division and all of the students captured, except one- who walked out of Uhwarrie National Forest with only the clothes on his back, chased through the intense terrain by an Airborne Division for five days. It was a course that started with 1225 Airborne, Ranger, and special ops candidates. 16 finished one year later. In a letter dated January 7, 1976, Colonel Charlie A. Beckwith, School Commandant, who became famous as the Commander of Delta Force, commended Jack on his "perseverance": " During that selection course you excelled by meeting every requirement set upon you, whether it be arriving at your objective on schedule, navigating across hazardous terrain, evading detection or leading an ambush. The initiative you took and the motivation you showed in attaining every objective of a course that was designed to be impossible to complete reflects greatly upon yourself and Special Forces." [Signed,] Charlie A. Beckwith Colonel, Infantry Director, Special Forces School Underestimating Jack will, we repeat, will be your downfall. In the first Afghan trial the international press constantly reported that Jack was arguing the case based on "Jack's interpretation of the law" and that there was no law in Afghanistan, or that it was a blend of various laws, or that the laws were not written, etc, etc. Once again, Jack was underestimated. Jack was able to secretly obtain a copy of the actual Criminal Code, from friends in the Italian Embassy, which were in charge of translating it for the Afghan government since the Italians had taken responsibility for rebuilding the Ministry of Justice (the Afghan Justice Department). The problem was that Jack was fighting a battle against Taliban Judges and Taliban Prosecutors that Karzai re-appointed to their positions in a secret deal with Mullah Omar. Contrary to the Press assertions of "frivolous litigation," Jack has never had a case dismissed under those criteria. In fact, during a 2001 case, he won a multi-million dollar case in a three week jury trial, where he represented HIMSELF against three attorneys, one of which was a top capital offense lawyer in North Carolina, and a candidate for District Attorney. The Court rejected the defendants' Motion for a new trial which was based on Jack not being a licensed lawyer since Jack had also represented corporations. The Court of Appeals also rejected the defendants' plea to overturn the verdict. The case is now in settlement proceedings. From what we see, Jack doesn't file frivolous lawsuits. On the other hand, he doesn't suffer fools, liars, or cheats either. You break the law with him, whether it be copyright infringements- he holds more than a dozen copyrights; trademark violations- he won a million dollar judgment against a group of people that tried to infringe a trademark he owned; or theft- he won the largest pro se verdict in North Carolina history in August 2001. If that wasn't enough, the defendants declared bankruptcy on the morning of the trial, which imposed an automatic stay under federal law. As any attorney knows, this is an almost impossible veil to pierce. Jack sped to federal court in Raleigh and successfully argued a pro se motion to US Federal Judge, The Honorable Thomas Small, and won, forcing the defendants into a devastating trial, in spite of bankruptcy protection. The result was the largest pro se verdict in North Carolina history, and one of the top three pro se jury verdicts in the United States, possibly the largest by the time the dust settles. In fact, the press has spent a lot of time writing about Jack being a felon, a fraud, and a con-man because he was convicted of a 1991 crime- aiding and abetting wire fraud- NOT wire fraud as the press reports. What they didn't tell you was that he has a motion to overturn his case pending, based on actual innocence. The reality is that he went to jail for refusing to cooperate with the FBI in a nuclear smuggling case, and give up his Russian sources, going to jail to protect their identities. That is indisputable, no one involved has ever denied that fact other than the FBI. It is often said, that there are no coincidences in the spook world. Jack refused to reveal his Soviet sources because he claimed the FBI was compromised by the KGB (Jack stated this in a July 1992 Pentagon briefing to the Assistant Secretary of Defense SO/LIC [fn]). In December 1996, Senior FBI Special Agent Earl Edwin Pitts was arrested for espionage, and subsequently sentenced to life imprisonment for spying on behalf of the KGB. Pitts had been at Jack's Pentagon briefing, and was later involved in Jack's case. In March 1998, Robert Phillip Hanssen (FBI Director of the FBI National Security Division - which oversaw Jack's case) was arrested for espionage. Hanssen was subsequently sentenced to life imprisonment without parole for his KGB spying. One more "coincidence" - the FBI Lab testified at Jack's second trial (he acquitted in a hung jury with a 11 to 1 vote in his favor in the first trial). From jail Jack sued the government's main witness and won a near $1 million dollar federal court judgment (Idema vs. Hambrick, EDNC). When Jack got released, he discovered new evidence to clear himself, proved the FBI falsified evidence, introduced falsified evidence, concealed evidence, introduced evidence with knowingly forged signatures (and concealed the fact that a government witness actually forged the document that convicted Jack), and proved that the FBI Lab concealed extensive exculpatory evidence (no surprise there, the same lab people are the subject of an extensive Inspector General Report on misconduct, all during the same time period). Then he took a government agency to trial, and settled the case in the middle of his testimony as first witness, for somewhere around a half million dollars (a gag order on the settlement keeps him from confirming or denying the actual amount and discussing the case). It was the largest case of its kind ever settled for constitutional rights violations. He won a $3.8 million dollar judgment (Jury Verdict for $800k actual, $1 million punitive, treble for Unfair & Deceptive Trade Practices) against more people involved in his 1991 federal criminal case (Idema vs Wiggs, et al; NC Superior Court). In that case Wiggs, and others not only worked with the FBI against Jack, but they sold off all of Jack's possessions, his military awards, and his property, stole his business, and even threw his uniforms with awards in the garbage. Some of Jack's property was recovered by Special Forces Sergeant John Diggs, and Command Sergeant Major Thomas O'Donnell who testified at trial. Sergeant Diggs, no stranger to Jack's tenacity and perseverance, told the jury, "I always knew he'd be back for his stuff, so I hung onto it." The jury was apparently not happy with defendants. The verdict against them was swift and painful. The press also writes, as do the weblog sites, that Jack owes $200k in restitution to the government in his criminal case. Jack says he doesn't owe it because he didn't do it, and the FBI falsified the evidence. Jack spent $450,000 on his defense, and than $375,000 more to fight a case he could have settled at anytime for a lot less than half of the $200,000. That case is currently on the way to the US Supreme Court, meaning Jack will spend almost one million dollars to prevent paying one hundred thousand based solely on principle. Jack's endeavors have clearly earned him a lot of money over the years-- but he still remains technically homeless, having lost his house during his first year fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan and donating every dime of his own money to fight the war on terror and support humanitarian operations in Afghanistan. Men of unwavering principle are difficult adversaries- they think not of dollars and cents, not of logic or reason, but only of honor and justice. Basically, the last place you want to be, is on Jack's Docket. John Edwards Tiffany, Esquire, is a powerhouse attorney from Bloomfield, NJ that specializes in federal criminal defense cases. He has represented international criminal and civil clients of notoriety in the US, Haiti, Africa, and other countries. His father is a former US Marine. He is very much involved in cases involving National Security interests. A native New Yorker, he lost friends in on 9/11, and Tiffany's strength is his tenacity and resilience. More so, his complete lack of fear. The DYNCORP bomb went off a few blocks from his hotel in Kabul blowing out his hotel windows (it was done by the bombers Jack had arrested and some of their associates). Tiffany was not fazed. He did not skip a beat in the defense of Jack and Task Force Saber/7 the next day. Where others might cringe at the thought of taking on a US Ambassador or the FBI, Tiffany relishes the idea. Tiffany has made it clear to just about everyone, that he believes in the complete innocence of Jack and his men. John Tiffany's most important attribute may be the most dangerous thing opponents have to fear-- loyalty. Clifford Barnard, Esquire, specializes in criminal law, and habeas corpus actions (ß2255 type actions). Barnard also handles federal criminal cases, and is admitted in jurisdictions all over the United States, although he is based in Colorado. He has previously represented Jack before the US Appeals Court, and is now representing Jack in the United States Supreme Court in his 1991 case against the FBI. Barnard's experience is strong in the areas of complex legal briefs, trial preparation, and prisoner cases. Ted Smyth, Esquire, is a top lawyer in Raleigh, NC that specializes in insurance company litigation and taking big civil judgments from paper to cash. He is admitted to North Carolina Appeals Court, Supreme Court and the Federal Appeals Courts and US Supreme Court. He is believed to be a close personal friend of Jacks, and is astute at taking on the biggest insurance companies in America, and winning, even when faced with opponents with deep deep pockets to mount a defense. What role Smyth and his firm will play is unknown at this time, but what is known is that he has just won another case for Jack and that means Jack may soon have the resources to fight the guys on the right side of this page. Francis C. Pizzulli, Esquire, is a longtime attorney of Jack's. He specializes in civil litigation, copyright claims, and liable. He is the lawyer that won the famous Khawar v. GLOBE International case based on a reporter falsely identifying a man as the real killer of Robert F. Kennedy. Pizzulli successfully took the case to the California Supreme Court and won a verdict against the Globe for republishing erroneous information they failed to adequately, and independently investigate. That case laid the groundwork for every case since based on a reporter reprinting an incorrect statement based on another article or story. Sounds like Mr. Pizzulli might be one of the lead attorneys in Jack's cases against Flogging the Simian, New York Magazine, Columbia Journalism Review, and a few others. William London, Esquire, is a North Carolina lawyer who is General Counsel for a major intellectual property and technology firm. London specializes in intellectual property cases, copyrights, trademarks, patents, industrial espionage cases, and multi-million dollar litigation. He has an impressive, almost unbeatable record on intellectual property cases. He has graced the cover of numerous magazines for his recent litigation against Lexmark, winning a variety of decisions and breaking new ground in high technology intellectual property law. London is a longtime friend of Jacks and has already won million dollar judgments for Jack against companies and individuals for violations of intellectual property rights. Although the judgments remain uncollected, one of them forced the proprietor (who was a federal witness against Jack in 1994) to close their business and sell all their assets. Wesley Robinson, *J.D.* is the director of National Legal Professional Associates, the NLPA, is based in Ohio and Florida, with offices all over the world, and a huge staff of researchers and attorneys. Robinson specializes in appeals, federal criminal court, and civil rights cases. He is a longtime friend and supporter of Jack. He helped fight the FBI the first time around in the early 90's and is sure to be involved in any battle Jack faces against the FBI and US State Department. *John Doe, Esquire* #1, is a former United States Military Staff Judge Advocate General. This southeastern based US Army Colonel specializes in UCMJ, federal court cases, international law, and Geneva Convention cases. His identity is being closely guarded at this time, but it is known that he has offered to travel to Afghanistan with Tiffany and represent the SuperPatriots in their current appeal case, and to move the case from Afghanistan to the International Court. His Special Operations, combat, and military law background is a heavy club that is being kept in the shadows right now. John Doe, Esquire #2,** is a former United States Military Staff Judge Advocate General. This US Army general officer specializes in UCMJ, federal court cases, international law, Geneva Convention cases, and war crimes. His identity is also being closely guarded at this time, but it is known that he has offered to travel to Afghanistan with Tiffany and John Doe, Esquire #1 to represent the SuperPatriots in their current appeal case, and to move the case from Afghanistan to the International Court. His combat Special Operations, and military law background, along with his experience sitting on Courts Martial boards and War Crimes Tribunals is a B-52 strike that is also being closely guarded. Not even Jack's closest friends know this general's identity. Photo of the file in Maxim Magazine Although the Defendants have never been allowed to see the Court's file, nor have the lawyers that flew there to help them during the summer, the evidence file has been widely distributed. In fact, Taliban Judge Bakhtyari, and former Taliban Prosecutor Mohammed Nahim Dawari offered the files up for sale on a regular basis. The going rate for a journalist to see the file was $100. The Secret NDS File cost $150 to photograph (that included Prosecutor Dawari delivering it to a journalist's guesthouse or hotel room), and for a $50 tip NDS would leave it with you overnight. This picture in the graphic above, which appeared in Maxim magazine, was taken when former Taliban prosecutor Dawari brought the confidential, evidence file to a journalist's hotel (if this isn't breaking the chain of evidence nothing is). In other words, neither the defense lawyers or the defendants could see, read, or even touch, the secret NDS file, but journalists could buy a copy at anytime. Oh, yeah, this was a fair trial, just ask any first year law student. For the record, no copyright violation by us here- the original photos are owned by the defendants, and Maxim photographed the photographs, then reprinted them for commercial purposes. Therefore, Maxim is in violation of US Copyright Laws (copyright infringement; 17 U.S.C. ßß 101, et seq.), and Prosecutor Dawari and Judge Bakhtyari are liable for contributory copyright infringement (Copyright Acts of 1909 and 1976, 17 U.S.C. ßß 101 et seq.), among other things, such as Conversion, a civil tort. Simply put, the photos belong to Task Force Saber/7, therefore, only they have the right to make a derivative work (a picture of the pictures). Two important cases deal with this. First, the Twelve Monkey's Case, and second, The Devil's Advocate case. In both of those films they infringed on another's copyright by using a derivative work in the film, without licensing the original work from the creator. A third case, involved an original photograph of the US Supreme Court Judges in the late 1800's. A recent case in the news involves a painting called "The Charged Image." You may recall that Damian Loeb used a picture to create a painting. He did not have the right to make a "derivative" work from the original picture. Nor did Maxim have the right to make a derivative work in this case. Donald Trump, who wrote in the same issue that he will sue anyone that uses his trademark phrase "You're Fired!," just bought Maxim. Well Donald, what's good for the goose is good for the gander... suggest you get out your checkbook. On the other hand, our graphic with the cover of Maxim is fair use. Why? Because the cover was "published" and therefore, we have the right to use it to tell a story about that issue's violation of a copyright. What You Can Do To Help the SuperPatriots: What these guys need are lawyers, more lawyers- Tiffany is working completely pro bono (for free) so he could really use some help. They also need guns. Al-Qaida tried to kill Jack and the others on December 17, 2004. It was the fifth direct assassination attempt on their lives in six months. Specifically, they need international law attorneys, with experience in the Hague, or US Military Courts, and willing to help defend this case in a Geneva Convention Tribunal, in Switzerland. Click Here to Read More about the Geneva Convention and the POW Status Legal Brief Jack and his men filed with the Geneva Convention CIB. Second, they need more copyright lawyers, especially in New York where most of the defendants are. They need a libel lawyer with experience in Constitutional Law in Dallas to take on the Dallas Morning News, or act as local counsel. Third, they need an attorney with experience taking down internet sites and protecting copyright images. That attorney can be in NY, NC, or California. They will be handling the Floggin case. Because "SOJ" claims to be an American citizen living in Clug, Romania, and since they stole US Copyrighted pictures and intercepted US Mail, etc, etc. Floggin and "SOJ" can be sued in any state that Bennett, Caraballo, or Jack resides in. Fourth, a Washington, DC law firm would be good if they had experience against the FBI or DOJ. Jack says he will be taking them on in DC. John Tiffany will most likely be lead counsel. Fifth, FOIA lawyers from NY, NC, or DC, to help Jack in two ongoing FOIA Cases and two more upcoming FOIA cases, against the FBI, and the Department of State. Jack says this case would be very similar to the ongoing ACLU case in NYC against the FBI and CIA looking for documents. All of the initial FOIAs and Appeal FOIAs were already filed. Ambassador Khalilzad personally ordered all FOIA requests be ignored. Sixth, Jack wants to find an attorney to sue the US DOS and FBI under the Alien Tort Claims act and FSIA for the torture of Major Ezmerai and Lt. Banderas, and for the wrongful death of Colonel Sherzaman Abdulrahimzai, who was killed by terrorists at Pulacharke Prison as the result of DOS and FBI negligence and the other wrongful acts outlined in the overview of the FBI suit. Jack is looking for an attorney or firm that can represent the Colonel's family and the families of the other three officers killed that day, and the four officers wounded. Colonel Sherzaman was killed in the process of defending Jack and the others at Pulacharke. Two Iraqis, one Arab, and one Pakistani terrorist were killed, another Arab terrorist was critically wounded but survived, later giving a full confession about their plot to kill the SuperPatriots. Four Afghan military officers were killed defending the SuperPatriots. Two of them were very close friends with Jack, and his guys, including Colonel Sherzaman, who ran into the middle of the terrorists with a machinegun and just one magazine of bullets. The Colonel killed two terrorists and wounded one. The remaining terrorists critically wounded the Colonel, and then executed him twenty yards from the SuperPatriots. Northern Alliance Generals quickly came to Jack's aid and rescued the unarmed Americans as they held off 300 terrorists with barricades. Seventh, Jack is looking for more attorneys to handle his pending North Carolina cases against Thompson and several others until his return, at which time he can takeover.

A Whirlwind is Coming And Hell is Coming With It- WHO'S ON THE DOCKET? To the Honorable Jury Presiding: Some people call Jack a serial litigator. We call him a gangster of justice. Jack's Docket is a place you don't want to be. While the press often quotes the fact that Jack lost a copyright case against DreamWorks, they fail to mention that Jack turned down six figure settlement offers because he wanted to make case law. By the time the case reached the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, the DreamWorks defendants had spent more than half a million dollars in defense fees. And they are still NOT out of the case, in spite of what the press has reported. The Los Angeles Federal Court did NOT RULE that The Peacemaker starring George Clooney was not based on an event in Jack's life; they ruled that FACT was NOT protected and because Jack's story was real it could be infringed, partly because the copyright was not filed before the movie was released (which is why this site was copyrighted before publication- which also allows statutory damages). But, (lots of buts in Jack's life) just before the 9th Circuit Appeals Court Decision, the US Copyright Office issued a new copyright certificate, based on a letter Jack and author of War Story, Major Jim Morris, sent to Steven Spielberg in 1994. That letter contained the fictional aspects that Spielberg also stole for his film. According to Santa Monica attorney Francis Pizzulli, that case is about to be re-filed. I would not want to be DreamWorks, or for that matter, anyone that violated any law when it comes to this guy.

These Are The Cases We See Coming Down In The Near Future
Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad: Constitutional Violations Relating to Unlawful Search & Seizure, Theft, Complicity in Torture, Subverting Human Rights Violations, Conspiracy to Conceal Torture and Human Rights Abuses, Alien Tort Claims Act Violation of Human Rights; There is clear and convincing evidence in the possession of United States Embassy Consular Officers that there was torture in this case, but that torture was not inflicted upon the terrorists. That torture was inflicted upon the men of Task Force Saber/7 in violation of Article 5 of the Afghan Criminal Code, the International Covenant on Human Rights, and the Geneva Convention by the NDS and with the knowledge and approval of the American FBI. Ambassador Khalilzad has a problem with his complicity and authorizations in the cover-up and false statements made by the State Department. Khalilzad, an Afghan-American and former business associate of Karzai, who had former relations with oil companies and Taliban officials, personally prevented US officials from interfering in the continued torture of Jack and others. Khalilzad did many other things, but the one thing that seems to have gotten him on Jack's Docket is his blatant violations of the United States Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Khalilzad's illegal search, seizure, and ban on mail and packages, has already resulted in one case being brought against him and is about to get Khalilzad sued for damages next. On March 17, 2005, Khalilzad was named as a respondent in the habeas corpus case laid out on the Khalilzad page. His actions are about to get Khalilzad sued for damages too. The case is pretty clear cut. While that sort of civil case would have to be prosecuted under the criteria laid out in Bivens v. Six Unknown Federal Narcotics Agents, 403 U.S. 388 (1971). There is no doubt that Khalilzad would be liable under the venerable doctrine of respondeat superior, which makes Khalilzad liable for all illegal acts of the DOS officers under his control, including the US Consul officers and FBI Agents involved. The Bivens case paved the way to sue government officials for their interference, denial, or obstruction of constitutional rights. Because the right to be free from official conduct in contravention of the Fourth Amendment, and all other rights guaranteed by the Bill of Rights, is a federally protected interest, Khalilzad is sure to see himself in federal court on a second case if that stack of mail in the graphic above doesn't stop making the loop from Task Force Saber/7 to the FBI to the US Consul and back again. Jack and the guys would also be entitled to damages under Nixon v. Condon, 286 U.S. 73 (1932), Wiley v Sinkler, 179 U.S. 58 (1900) and an equally impressive and old list of US Supreme Court decisions. Their right to sue is guaranteed by another US Supreme Court case, Bell v. Hood, 327 U.S., at 684.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation: Constitutional Violations Relating to Unlawful Search & Seizure, &Theft, Illegal Arrest, Torture, Human Rights Violations, Alien Tort Claims Act From the start, this case was illegal. The NDS officials who entered the compound in Karte-Parwan were in fact operating as agents of the FBI and therefore also violated the 4th Amendment of the US Constitution and International Law. They did so in violation of Afghan Criminal Code; Articles 32, 37, and 38. The violations of US law were clear constitutional violations, for which they are liable, see Bivens, 403 U.S. 388 (1971) . Further, American FBI agents were present at NDS when American and Afghan detainees were interrogated and severely tortured repeatedly during questioning, an egregious violation of rights by “actors” of the FBI and the FBI. This opens them up to additional Bivens liability, and also to liability under the Alien Tort Claims Act, in the case of Major Ezmerai and Lt. Rasuli who are foreign nationals. Additionally, because the FBI influenced testimony, bribed and coerced prosecutors and judges, coerced Afghan defense personnel, and because ALL of the exculpatory evidence is now missing, the FBI is liable for obstruction of justice, suborning perjury, theft, abuse of process, witness tampering, illegal search and seizure, and that is only the start of what promises to be an interesting case. Lastly, it is alleged that the FBI engaged in rendition, another whole front is opened up. Rendering may be quasi-legal in the case of foreign al-Qaida fighters captured by US forces, but there is no way the US Supreme Court, and doubtfully any other federal court is going to rubber stamp the rendition of American citizens, born to US citizens, and born in the United States. Using the Patriot Act against Jack and his guys is not going to be an easy road either. On one hand you have Khalilzad, Karzai, Amrullah, Jalali all naturalized refugees from their own country who ran instead of standing against the Soviets with their countrymen, and on the other hand you have three Americans with 500 years of combined American ancestry. Unlike the Hamdi case, the FBI will not be able to make trades and deals and force the SuperPatriots to give up their citizenship in exchange for freedom. For now, the FBI is a 600 pound monkey on the SuperPats' back. If you want to see some of the banana peels that Bonzo is already slipping on, visit our FBI page. It looks like Jack and the guys have an extremely good case against the FBI, and Director Robert S. Mueller was served with the Summons & Complaint on March 18, 2005.
*Sir Edward Artis, et al: Fraud, Theft, Interference With Economic Prospective, Interference With Contract, Violation of California Business & Professional Code ß17200* "Sir" Edward is a self-appointed "Knight of Malta." In Afghanistan and other places he also likes people to call him "Doctor" Artis because of the $3500 PHD he got from a Russian, now-defunct, on-line diploma mill called American Coastline University. He likes to wear military awards that he didn't earn like the Bronze and Silver Star. He wears these, and his Knighthood medallions to various charity events and fundraisers. Artis even had the audacity to wear his mail-order war medals to WestPoint during a summer dress blues event. He is a fraud. In fact, he is such a fraud, that he is even recognized by, the Special Operations activities that identify and defrock phony Green Berets and Navy SEALs. To find the real truth about Ed Artis, click on the two links to the left. These logos belong to the websites that verify Navy SEALs and Green Berets, clicking on them takes you to their websites. In 2001, Artis told Idema that he had Silver Stars, Bronze Stars, and was a Master Sergeant in the Green Berets who had gone to Navy SEAL school (BUDS), in preparation for a joint SEAL/SF "secret mission" in Vietnam. Artis was wearing his phony medals on his "Knights of Malta" tuxedo at fund raising events. All of that, of course, was hogwash. Idema reported him to the phony-hunters and Artis made their wall of shame. Since that time Artis has been obsessed with destroying Idema before their case goes to trial. We know for a fact, that Artis was one of the people that worked to have Idema arrested by making the very first accusations of torture when he found out Jack was back in Afghanistan rounding up terrorists. If you look at EVERY single defamatory article about Jack and his men, they ALL have one common source, Sir Edward Artis, the fabled Knight. If you look at the fake quotes that supposedly came out of Jack's military records- they all have ONE COMMON source- the "Navy SEAL Silver Star recipient," Ed Artis. The phony "parole report" that journalists keep quoting regarding Idema's "unremarkable" military career- ALL FROM Ed Artis. You have to hand it to the guy, he was brilliant. But if Jack gets back in time for that trial, Artis is toast. Artis lies about how much aid his "humanitarian" front organization raises and gives away... he skims off the top of that. He has hated Jack ever since Jack caught him stealing official stationary to use for forging documents from Dr. Abdullah Abdullah of our Northern Alliance allies during the Afghan war in 2001-2002. He hates Jack because Jack is the real deal... everything "Sir" Edward wishes that he was. Because of this, the obsessive-compulsive Artis has led a relentless, vicious and deceitful smear campaign in the media against Jack. Is there any story against Jack that doesn't rely on Artis as its' primary source? Artis is facing serious litigation, and a serious jury trial which is scheduled for late June 2005 in Los Angeles County Superior Court (Note to Court TV: Camera coverage is allowed- Caraballo already has ringside seats and a new camera for it). Artis is being sued for the same thing many other people are in line for- he claimed that Jack's 8mm VideoX al-Qaida Tapes were fake. Artis claimed that the book, The Hunt For Bin Laden was false (even though he was only in Afghanistan for about ten days of the entire war). He also accused Jack of murdering civilians during the 2001 war, and of bombing mosques. Sir Artis is specifically charged with the "publication of maliciously false statements, malice, and fraud," AND, he is also being sued for "unlawful, unfair, and fraudulent business acts and/or practices, and unfair, deceptive, untrue or misleading advertising" on behalf of the citizens of the State of California. He is also alleged to have entered into a conspiracy with FOX News and violated a myriad of laws regarding Jack's 8mm VideoX al-Qaida Training Tapes which FOX has been illegally airing for more than two years. Artis has already transferred his assets into his wife's name, including his house, with a Quick-Claim Deed sign-over to avoid losing everything. Is there any wonder why Artis has been working overtime to keep the SuperPatriots in prison? This is definitely a case to watch.
Chris Thompson, Joe Cafasso, Tracy Paul Warrington: Fraud, Theft, Unfair & Deceptive Trade Practices, Interference With Economic Prospective, Libel, Conversion, Embezzlement Chris Thompson, a friend of "Sir" Ed, did not start out that way. He was in fact a friend of Jack's. He worked with Jack on The Hunt For Bin Laden Book. Thompson's research and editing abilities were good according to Jack, but not good enough to overlook his drugs, booze, and women abuse problems. The last straw seems to have been when Thompson showed up at Jack's office one night, after having beat his girlfriend unconscious and was being chased by the police. Jack had already helped him in NYC when he pulled a knife on a pizza man, impersonated a NYC police officer, beat up his girlfriend in an elevator (witnessed by an officer of the court, and captured on hotel surveillance video where the book tour was taking place). Needless to say, Thompson and a slew of other co-defendants are going to be in trial very soon in the case of Idema v. Thompson, et al, Superior Court, NC Case #04 CVS-1615.
Maxim Magazine: Violation of US Copyright MAXIM Magazine violated US copyright laws, and a written contract with Jack by not licensing all of TF SABER 7's pictures. Therefore they may end up being sued. But we think not. Why? because in spite of the fact that their article contained several false accusations and painted Jack as some sort of war profiteer, they told the truth about the important things. The false statements centered around claiming that Jack requested $100 from a Washington Times' reporter for a tour of an al-Qaida base during the war. The reality is that Jack told the reporter he should not go there empty handed. The soldiers guarding the base were in desperate striates. They were poor and underfed. Jack asked the reporter to bring a bag of rice (about $85 during the war) and a can of cooking oil (about $20 during the war). The journalist refused, but Jack had agreed to bring a group there at the request of the Afghan government, so he bought the rice and oil himself and gave it to the soldiers saying it came from the journalist. Interestingly enough, the "unnamed" journalist (Richard S. Ehrlich - Washington Times) never printed this in his original stories, and came up with this fantasy only after Jack was accused of torture and kidnapping. As to the press conference Maxim wrote about in the first paragraphs, well, several reporters had been excluded from that private press conference about bin Laden during the war, so maybe it was just crossed wires. The reason we think MAXIM will get a free pass is because the journalist ended her article saying almost everything Jack ever told her turned out to be true (apparently one statement was unverifiable). The second reason is because the blame falls on the Photo Editor who should have known better. The third reason is that Robberson and other "Jack Haters" tried to slander the journalist and her article to discredit her and through her, the story and Jack. In Afghanistan there is a saying, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend, and my friend's enemy mine." That means Jack will probably let MAXIM slide just to piss off his enemies.
NY Magazine: Violation of US Copyright and Tortuous Interference With Contract New York Magazine is facing serious copyright infringement claims, based on documents and photos that were stolen from confidential emails, and their involvement in a criminal conspiracy, not to mention a long list of civil torts based on using knowingly false sources, knowingly false information, and fake documents. Interestingly enough their reporter, Stacy Sullivan, chastises Dan Rather with various unsupported accusations, but engages in the same thing she accuses Rather of-- using phony documents. Rather might have aired forged documents, but he didn't know it at the time. On the other hand, Sullivan knew her documents were fake, and she never even saw one of the fake documents she quoted as absolute fact. To make matters worse, she uses a picture of Jack administering medical aid to a wounded man, and accuses him of torturing the man. She also made the same devastating mistake that Columbia Journalism Review made, when she alleged Jack's 8mm VideoX al-Qaida Tapes were fake, and that Jack fabricated them. That gets her and NY Magazine sued for Tortuous Interference With Economic Prospective. In other words, like CJR, NY Magazine claimed that intellectual property, belonging to Jack, was fake and that Jack defrauded the American public. NY Magazine better have lots of lawyers and a lot of money for this one. And, we wouldn't be surprised if John Tiffany ends up as a plaintiff, not a lawyer in this case because the inexperienced, over-enthusiastic cub reporter accused Tiffany of falsifying evidence in the Afghan criminal court proceeding. That is not only a lie, but a fully actionable tort. Bruce Wasserstein, Chairman of New York Magazine Holdings, LLC, and publisher Lawrence C. Burstein, have significant exposure on this one. Stacy Sullivan told an officer of the court that her article was radically different but that her editor rewrote the article. That leaves her bosses wide open, and if Jack can prove it was intentional malice, or link them to other defendants such as Tod Robberson, Mariah Blake, or Floggin the Simian, he might be able to draw them into a civil RICO action as "co-conspirators acting in concert" [ see: Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, as set forth in 18 U.S.C. ß1962 (C) and (D), and ß1964(C)]. This will also be a case to watch.
Flogging The Simian: Violation of US Copyright, Wire Fraud, Mail Fraud, Extortion These guys are perhaps in the worst situation of all. This blogger made the mistake of directly attacking Jack's family and wife. That made this case personal, and Jack has stated more than once to lawyers, journalists, and us, that he will "spare no effort or expense to bring these bastards to justice." This might not concern someone as flippant and cruel as these people have been to Jack's family and friends, but a rational person? They would not be taking this lightly. Perhaps that is why the Floggin people have spent so much time trying to keep Jack in jail. They may want to link up with al-Qaida since both of them have similar goals, to keep Jack from tracking them down. As to the legal case, all of the photos on the site are copyright protected and clearly stolen, that means they face prosecution for crimes which can easily cross international borders, all the way to Romania. They also face civil prosecution for fraud, and most of all they face significant criminal prosecution for theft of mail, interception of mail, criminal conspiracy, electronic eavesdropping (illegally accessing email), extortion- based on threats made to Jack's wife in an attempt to get information (they even admit this on their site now), and some other crimes which we have been asked not to divulge yet.

FOX News: Violation of Copyright, Fraud, Theft, Unfair & Deceptive Trade Practices, Interference With Economic Prospective FOX News is already in litigation in Los Angeles Superior Court, although the case was dismissed based on a protective California SLAM law that shields news agencies from being sued. The case is currently in the California Court of Appeals (Idema v. Fox News Network, SC #BC296228). It is expected that a new case will be filed against FOX News upon Idema's return, or sooner if that return is not in the immediate future. The case is based on FOX News' theft of the 8mm VideoX al-Qaida Training Tapes Jack captured in Afghanistan in 2001. While CJR and NY Magazine are claiming the tapes are fake, hundreds of thousands of dollars in litigation costs are being spent to protect them, and FOX has been throwing lawyers at Jack like rainwater to keep airing them illegally. The case revolves around a "clip reel" sent to FOX by a NY agent, then FOX's ersatz licensing certificate, fraudulently obtained as a defense to airing Jack's tapes without licensing them. This has case has recently taken a new twist, which is really going to put the heat on FOX, but we have been asked to hold that back until the new pleadings are filed.
Columbia Journalism Review: Unfair & Deceptive Trade Practices, Fraud, & Conversion This case is based on the article CJR ran calling Jack a "Tin Soldier." There are things about Jack that are not good, and he is certainly not lily white, but he is definitely no Tin Soldier. In spite of articles claiming he was never a Green Beret, that ludicrous accusation is completely blasted out of the water on this website. Where CJR went wrong, and left themselves wide open for a devastating lawsuit, was when they let their reporter Mariah Blake steal documents out of Jack's office (NC criminal charges are also on the horizon), and when they engaged in a conspiracy to steal US Mail, illegally access email (another crime), reprinted false rumors and accusations that appeared on blogger sites as fact, falsified supposed "bank record" information, and completely forgot about journalistic ethics. Blake used "Sir" Edward Artis as her primary source, yet conveniently glosses over Jack's lawsuit against Artis which has been in court for two years. As we stated, Artis has worn phony medals (including US Army Silver Star and Bronze Star medals), is a phony Knight, and falsely claims he is a Green Beret and Navy SEAL. Now that is a tin soldier; yet Blake is calling Jack the "Tin Soldier." But (those "buts" again), where they really stepped on it was when they alleged Jack's 8mm VideoX al-Qaida Tapes were fake, and that Jack fabricated them. That gets them sued for Tortuous Interference With Economic Prospective. In other words, CJR claimed that intellectual property, belonging to Jack, was fake and that Jack defrauded the American public. If we were CJR we'd be begging someone for some real evidence of this, because without that, the Dean at Columbia University is going to be cutting a million+ check.
Dallas Morning News: Violations Relating to Unlawful Search & Seizure, Theft, Conversion The Dallas Morning News is facing similar claims as CJR. Their reporter, Tod Robberson entered Pulacharke Prison under false pretenses, with false ID, and illegally searched the living quarters of the SuperPatriots. Robberson then conducted an illegal search and seizure by removing confidential documents while the SuperPatriots were in court. Dallas Morning News has already been put on notice by Jack's lawyers to retain all emails and documents pending imminent litigation. That means if they start destroying emails, notes, or documents, they are in violation of the federal law (most likely with criminal consequences). NY Magazine and CJR have also received similar letters regarding the retention of evidence pending litigation. Robberson also impugned the integrity of the 8mm VideoX al-Qaida Tapes and will be facing charges, along with his employer, related to that. It is interesting to note that Robberson tried to convince Jack to let him write a book about him two years ago and Jack refused. When the Afghan story broke Robberson then tried to peddle another book idea based on Jack-- this time with Jack as the bad guy and Tod as the faithful servant of the people tracking jack down. Because Robberson's latest book idea was spiked by the Maxim article, and subsequently turned down by publisher, Robberson went after Laura Winters (MAXIM) in a clear cut vendetta, and even threatened her. Then, when all else failed, Robberson accused her (an engaged woman) of sleeping with Jack, and got her fired from CBS. Anyone that knows the two of them know that Robberson's accusations were patently false and fabricated out of spite. Robberson allegedly used the stolen TASK FORCE SABER 7 documents to help sell his second book about Jack, and that amounts to Conversion, and various other claims, all of which his employer will be liable for since Dallas Morning News paid Robberson's bill for the subterfuge. Dallas based BELO CORP (with assets of $1.4 billon) owns the Dallas Morning News, so you can pretty much expect to see them as a defendant too.
Et Al: That Means; "& Company" - "& Others" Because It Is Obvious That A Lot More News Agencies, "Lying Journalists" and "Lying" Sources Are Going to Be Sued Before This War Is Over To find out more about possible defendants you can leave the Legal Section of this site and return to the SuperPatriots section about Flogging the Simian, Jaded Press Sources, Lie Slinging Journalists, Press Lies, and a host of other information that will give you the real story about this case right from the mouths of the real guys that are living it. Use the links below to head to the press section, or use the big SuperPatriots Banner at the bottom to head home.
*Hamid Karzai, et al: The Case Against Them* Karzai has personal involvement in the case, and complicity in the illegal acts against the SuperPatriots. To start, he allegedly authorized their arrest on behalf of the FBI without first asking the Minister of Defence if they were acting legally and with government authorization. To make matters worse, Karzai knew Jack from the 2001/2002 war and had personally authorized Jack to conduct a variety of operations during that time. One of the most visible was Jack's participation in Nahrin Rescue Operation in March/April 2002, when Karzai provided him with a government helicopter. Amrullah Saleh also has personal involvement in the case. Saleh was an interpreter for an NGO in Pakistan when the war broke out in 2001. His knowledge of the United States and his impeccable English, made him a perfect choice for CIA operators coming into the country and Saleh quickly found himself a new high-paying job, going from $400 a month, to $200 a day. When the war wound down, Saleh, found himself with lots of contacts, dual citizenship (he had lived in the US), and political ambition. In 2003, the FBI, hot to break into the Afghan counter-terrorist ops club, started setting up shop in Kabul by throwing around lots of money. They aligned with Amrullah, used their State Department contacts to get Engineer Araf (a Massoud man and high-ranking member of the Northern Alliance) fired. Karzai, with the help of the FBI, now had control of the country's intelligence service, and that meant he could decrease Panshir power and protect his Pashtun "former" Taliban appointees. Saleh is alleged, and significant evidence exists to support it, to have personally beaten Jack and Lt. Banderas to unconsciousness while handcuffed in his office, and while FBI agents stood in the hallway laughing. Judge Bakhtyari not only sanctioned and authorized extensive torture of the men, but fully refused to follow the law. He is already under fire for more than 100 violations of the 26 most important articles of the Afghan Criminal Code. NOT ONCE were the accused able to examine any court or evidence file. The files were waved in the air at the accused, shown to the press, shown to alleged victims, and were repeatedly promised to the accused. But still, after fifteen court appearances in eight months, the files have never been seen by the accused. However, the NDS files have been sold to the press by the Primary Court Prosecutor, Saranwal Nahim Dawari. Furthermore, the NDS files were given to reporters by Dawari to review overnight and therefore the chain of evidence was violated and broken. The files are no longer inviolate, and therefore are tainted evidence. Add this into Dawari's brutal interrogations of witnesses, destruction of exculpatory evidence, and links to the Taliban, and you have a solid case for abuse of process and the concealment of terrorist acts. Sherzai, one of Jack's house staff, testified twice under oath during the new Appeals Court trial, that he was beaten, that he is illiterate, that he refused to sign a statement against Jack, and that he was then given Valium, rendered semi-conscious and his thumbprint forcibly placed on a statement he never read or made. Fatah is alleged to have authorized this, along with the extended torture of the other men, and electrocution of Northern Alliance Commando Major Ezmerai Amin. In recent months, Fatah has tried to coerce Northern Alliance officials to withdraw protection of Jack in Pulacharke Prison and to "apply additional pressure on top of them." Basically, in Afghan talk, that means reinstitute torture in order to obtain confessions now that Fatah's case against Task Force Saber 7 has fallen apart and four men already ordered released by the Appeals Court. Another member of the rogues' gallery is Mohammed Sidiq, the "religious" judge arrested by Jack and his men. They had not originally targeted him, but Sidiq was at the house when two other known terrorists were having chai (Afghan tea) at 0600 hours when TF SABER 7 raided the house with ISAF, the National Police, Amniat, the Ministry of Defense, and a National Security Advisor's Security Detail. Sidiq would probably not have been arrested if the terrorist-hunters had not found pictures of Sidiq with Gulbideen Hekmatyar, one of the world's most wanted terrorists, along with bomb plans, explosive detonators, al-Qaida and Hezb-i-Islami documents and recruiting cards, and a letter from Wanted Terrorist Mullah Omar in his pocket. The case against Sidiq will undoubtedly be for perjury, terrorism, conspiracy to torture, and extortion (Sidiq demanded money in return for testimony). With evidence taken by the FBI, the chain of custody destroyed, documents missing, and repeated violations of almost every section of the Criminal Code, the criminal case is a travesty of justice. As stated in the defendants' latest motion in front of the Appeals Court; "no matter what the court does to correct these injustices it is too late, the damage is done, it was done long before the Second Court took over the case. It was done by untrained police who broke the rules in their zeal to pander to, and help, the FBI. It was done by NDS officials and the Primary Court Saranwal who were under pressure by the American FBI, and it was done by the FBI." The Afghan Court is going to be left with little choice when faced with this many blatant and intentional violations, but to exclude all prosecution evidence and dismiss the charges. Even so, according to John Tiffany, the men will not accept such a dismissal now, they are demanding an undeniable verdict of absolute innocence.

Fighting Jack

In 1975, Jack went through Phase I of the Special Forces Qualification Course (SFQC). On the last night of selection, the group was told the course was over, and told to stand down in a base camp. At dawn's light, the camp was raided by the 82nd Airborne Division and all of the students captured, except one- who walked out of Uhwarrie National Forest with only the clothes on his back, chased through the intense terrain by an Airborne Division for five days. It was a course that started with 1225 Airborne, Ranger, and special ops candidates. 16 finished one year later. In a letter dated January 7, 1976, Colonel Charlie A. Beckwith, School Commandant, who became famous as the Commander of Delta Force, commended Jack on his "perseverance":

   " During that selection course you excelled by meeting every requirement set upon you, whether it be arriving at your objective on schedule, navigating across hazardous terrain, evading detection or leading an ambush. The initiative you took and the motivation you showed in attaining every objective of a course that was designed to be impossible to complete reflects greatly upon yourself and Special Forces."
   [Signed,] Charlie A. Beckwith
                 Colonel, Infantry
                Director, Special Forces School

Underestimating Jack will, we repeat, will be your downfall. In the first Afghan trial the international press constantly reported that Jack was arguing the case based on "Jack's interpretation of the law" and that there was no law in Afghanistan, or that it was a blend of various laws, or that the laws were not written, etc, etc. Once again, Jack was underestimated. Jack was able to secretly obtain a copy of the actual Criminal Code, from friends in the Italian Embassy, which were in charge of translating it for the Afghan government since the Italians had taken responsibility for rebuilding the Ministry of Justice (the Afghan Justice Department). The problem was that Jack was fighting a battle against Taliban Judges and Taliban Prosecutors that Karzai re-appointed to their positions in a secret deal with Mullah Omar.

Contrary to the Press assertions of "frivolous litigation," Jack has never had a case dismissed under those criteria. In fact, during a 2001 case, he won a multi-million dollar case in a three week jury trial, where he represented HIMSELF against three attorneys, one of which was a top capital offense lawyer in North Carolina, and a candidate for District Attorney. The Court rejected the defendants' Motion for a new trial which was based on Jack not being a licensed lawyer since Jack had also represented corporations. The Court of Appeals also rejected the defendants' plea to overturn the verdict. The case is now in settlement proceedings.

From what we see, Jack doesn't file frivolous lawsuits. On the other hand, he doesn't suffer fools, liars, or cheats either. You break the law with him, whether it be copyright infringements- he holds more than a dozen copyrights; trademark violations- he won a million dollar judgment against a group of people that tried to infringe a trademark he owned; or theft- he won the largest pro se verdict in North Carolina history in August 2001.

If that wasn't enough, the defendants declared bankruptcy on the morning of the trial, which imposed an automatic stay under federal law. As any attorney knows, this is an almost impossible veil to pierce. Jack sped to federal court in Raleigh and successfully argued a pro se motion to US Federal Judge, The Honorable Thomas Small, and won, forcing the defendants into a devastating trial, in spite of bankruptcy protection. The result was the largest pro se verdict in North Carolina history, and one of the top three pro se jury verdicts in the United States, possibly the largest by the time the dust settles.

In fact, the press has spent a lot of time writing about Jack being a felon, a fraud, and a con-man because he was convicted of a 1991 crime- aiding and abetting wire fraud- NOT wire fraud as the press reports. What they didn't tell you was that he has a motion to overturn his case pending, based on actual innocence. The reality is that he went to jail for refusing to cooperate with the FBI in a nuclear smuggling case, and give up his Russian sources, going to jail to protect their identities. That is indisputable, no one involved has ever denied that fact other than the FBI. It is often said, that there are no coincidences in the spook world. Jack refused to reveal his Soviet sources because he claimed the FBI was compromised by the KGB (Jack stated this in a July 1992 Pentagon briefing to the Assistant Secretary of Defense SO/LIC [fn]). In December 1996, Senior FBI Special Agent Earl Edwin Pitts was arrested for espionage, and subsequently sentenced to life imprisonment for spying on behalf of the KGB. Pitts had been at Jack's Pentagon briefing, and was later involved in Jack's case. In March 1998, Robert Phillip Hanssen (FBI Director of the FBI National Security Division - which oversaw Jack's case) was arrested for espionage. Hanssen was subsequently sentenced to life imprisonment without parole for his KGB spying. One more "coincidence" - the FBI Lab testified at Jack's second trial (he acquitted in a hung jury with a 11 to 1 vote in his favor in the first trial). From jail Jack sued the government's main witness and won a near $1 million dollar federal court judgment (Idema vs. Hambrick, EDNC).

When Jack got released, he discovered new evidence to clear himself, proved the FBI falsified evidence, introduced falsified evidence, concealed evidence, introduced evidence with knowingly forged signatures (and concealed the fact that a government witness actually forged the document that convicted Jack), and proved that the FBI Lab concealed extensive exculpatory evidence (no surprise there, the same lab people are the subject of an extensive Inspector General Report on misconduct, all during the same time period).

Then he took a government agency to trial, and settled the case in the middle of his testimony as first witness, for somewhere around a half million dollars (a gag order on the settlement keeps him from confirming or denying the actual amount and discussing the case). It was the largest case of its kind ever settled for constitutional rights violations.

He won a $3.8 million dollar judgment (Jury Verdict for $800k actual, $1 million punitive, treble for Unfair & Deceptive Trade Practices) against more people involved in his 1991 federal criminal case (Idema vs Wiggs, et al; NC Superior Court). In that case Wiggs, and others not only worked with the FBI against Jack, but they sold off all of Jack's possessions, his military awards, and his property, stole his business, and even threw his uniforms with awards in the garbage. Some of Jack's property was recovered by Special Forces Sergeant John Diggs, and Command Sergeant Major Thomas O'Donnell who testified at trial. Sergeant Diggs, no stranger to Jack's tenacity and perseverance, told the jury, "I always knew he'd be back for his stuff, so I hung onto it." The jury was apparently not happy with defendants. The verdict against them was swift and painful.

The press also writes, as do the weblog sites, that Jack owes $200k in restitution to the government in his criminal case. Jack says he doesn't owe it because he didn't do it, and the FBI falsified the evidence. Jack spent $450,000 on his defense, and than $375,000 more to fight a case he could have settled at anytime for a lot less than half of the $200,000. That case is currently on the way to the US Supreme Court, meaning Jack will spend almost one million dollars to prevent paying one hundred thousand based solely on principle.

Jack's endeavors have clearly earned him a lot of money over the years-- but he still remains technically homeless, having lost his house during his first year fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan and donating every dime of his own money to fight the war on terror and support humanitarian operations in Afghanistan.

Men of unwavering principle are difficult adversaries- they think not of dollars and cents, not of logic or reason, but only of honor and justice.

Basically, the last place you want to be, is on Jack's Docket.

John Edwards Tiffany, Esquire,
is a powerhouse attorney from Bloomfield, NJ that specializes in federal criminal defense cases. He has represented international criminal and civil clients of notoriety in the US, Haiti, Africa, and other countries. His father is a former US Marine. He is very much involved in cases involving National Security interests. A native New Yorker, he lost friends in on 9/11, and Tiffany's strength is his tenacity and resilience. More so, his complete lack of fear. The DYNCORP bomb went off a few blocks from his hotel in Kabul blowing out his hotel windows (it was done by the bombers Jack had arrested and some of their associates). Tiffany was not fazed. He did not skip a beat in the defense of Jack and Task Force Saber/7 the next day. Where others might cringe at the thought of taking on a US Ambassador or the FBI, Tiffany relishes the idea. Tiffany has made it clear to just about everyone, that he believes in the complete innocence of Jack and his men. John Tiffany's most important attribute may be the most dangerous thing opponents have to fear-- loyalty.

Clifford Barnard, Esquire, specializes in criminal law, and habeas corpus actions (ß2255 type actions). Barnard also handles federal criminal cases, and is admitted in jurisdictions all over the United States, although he is based in Colorado. He has previously represented Jack before the US Appeals Court, and is now representing Jack in the United States Supreme Court in his 1991 case against the FBI. Barnard's experience is strong in the areas of complex legal briefs, trial preparation, and prisoner cases.

Ted Smyth, Esquire, is a top lawyer in Raleigh, NC that specializes in insurance company litigation and taking big civil judgments from paper to cash. He is admitted to North Carolina Appeals Court, Supreme Court and the Federal Appeals Courts and US Supreme Court. He is believed to be a close personal friend of Jacks, and is astute at taking on the biggest insurance companies in America, and winning, even when faced with opponents with deep deep pockets to mount a defense. What role Smyth and his firm will play is unknown at this time, but what is known is that he has just won another case for Jack and that means Jack may soon have the resources to fight the guys on the right side of this page.

Francis C. Pizzulli, Esquire, is a longtime attorney of Jack's. He specializes in civil litigation, copyright claims, and liable. He is the lawyer that won the famous Khawar v. GLOBE International case based on a reporter falsely identifying a man as the real killer of Robert F. Kennedy. Pizzulli successfully took the case to the California Supreme Court and won a verdict against the Globe for republishing erroneous information they failed to adequately, and independently investigate. That case laid the groundwork for every case since based on a reporter reprinting an incorrect statement based on another article or story. Sounds like Mr. Pizzulli might be one of the lead attorneys in Jack's cases against Flogging the Simian, New York Magazine, Columbia Journalism Review, and a few others.

William London, Esquire, is a North Carolina lawyer who is General Counsel for a major intellectual property and technology firm. London specializes in intellectual property cases, copyrights, trademarks, patents, industrial espionage cases, and multi-million dollar litigation. He has an impressive, almost unbeatable record on intellectual property cases. He has graced the cover of numerous magazines for his recent litigation against Lexmark, winning a variety of decisions and breaking new ground in high technology intellectual property law. London is a longtime friend of Jacks and has already won million dollar judgments for Jack against companies and individuals for violations of intellectual property rights. Although the judgments remain uncollected, one of them forced the proprietor (who was a federal witness against Jack in 1994) to close their business and sell all their assets.

Wesley Robinson, J.D. is the director of National Legal Professional Associates, the NLPA, is based in Ohio and Florida, with offices all over the world, and a huge staff of researchers and attorneys. Robinson specializes in appeals, federal criminal court, and civil rights cases. He is a longtime friend and supporter of Jack. He helped fight the FBI the first time around in the early 90's and is sure to be involved in any battle Jack faces against the FBI and US State Department.

John Doe, Esquire #1, is a former United States Military Staff Judge Advocate General. This southeastern based US Army Colonel specializes in UCMJ, federal court cases, international law, and Geneva Convention cases. His identity is being closely guarded at this time, but it is known that he has offered to travel to Afghanistan with Tiffany and represent the SuperPatriots in their current appeal case, and to move the case from Afghanistan to the International Court. His Special Operations, combat, and military law background is a heavy club that is being kept in the shadows right now.

John Doe, Esquire #2, is a former United States Military Staff Judge Advocate General. This US Army general officer specializes in UCMJ, federal court cases, international law, Geneva Convention cases, and war crimes. His identity is also being closely guarded at this time, but it is known that he has offered to travel to Afghanistan with Tiffany and John Doe, Esquire #1 to represent the SuperPatriots in their current appeal case, and to move the case from Afghanistan to the International Court. His combat Special Operations, and military law background, along with his experience sitting on Courts Martial boards and War Crimes Tribunals is a B-52 strike that is also being closely guarded. Not even Jack's closest friends know this general's identity.

Photo of the file in Maxim Magazine

Although the Defendants have never been allowed to see the Court's file, nor have the lawyers that flew there to help them during the summer, the evidence file has been widely distributed. In fact, Taliban Judge Bakhtyari, and former Taliban Prosecutor Mohammed Nahim Dawari offered the files up for sale on a regular basis. The going rate for a journalist to see the file was $100. The Secret NDS File cost $150 to photograph (that included Prosecutor Dawari delivering it to a journalist's guesthouse or hotel room), and for a $50 tip NDS would leave it with you overnight.

This picture in the graphic above, which appeared in Maxim magazine, was taken when former Taliban prosecutor Dawari brought the confidential, evidence file to a journalist's hotel (if this isn't breaking the chain of evidence nothing is). In other words, neither the defense lawyers or the defendants could see, read, or even touch, the secret NDS file, but journalists could buy a copy at anytime. Oh, yeah, this was a fair trial, just ask any first year law student. For the record, no copyright violation by us here- the original photos are owned by the defendants, and Maxim photographed the photographs, then reprinted them for commercial purposes. Therefore, Maxim is in violation of US Copyright Laws (copyright infringement; 17 U.S.C. ßß 101, et seq.), and Prosecutor Dawari and Judge Bakhtyari are liable for contributory copyright infringement (Copyright Acts of 1909 and 1976, 17 U.S.C. ßß 101 et seq.), among other things, such as Conversion, a civil tort. Simply put, the photos belong to Task Force Saber/7, therefore, only they have the right to make a derivative work (a picture of the pictures). Two important cases deal with this. First, the Twelve Monkey's Case, and second, The Devil's Advocate case. In both of those films they infringed on another's copyright by using a derivative work in the film, without licensing the original work from the creator. A third case, involved an original photograph of the US Supreme Court Judges in the late 1800's. A recent case in the news involves a painting called "The Charged Image." You may recall that Damian Loeb used a picture to create a painting. He did not have the right to make a "derivative" work from the original picture. Nor did Maxim have the right to make a derivative work in this case. Donald Trump, who wrote in the same issue that he will sue anyone that uses his trademark phrase "You're Fired!," just bought Maxim. Well Donald, what's good for the goose is good for the gander... suggest you get out your checkbook.

On the other hand, our graphic with the cover of Maxim is fair use. Why? Because the cover was "published" and therefore, we have the right to use it to tell a story about that issue's violation of a copyright.

What these guys need are lawyers, more lawyers- Tiffany is working completely pro bono (for free) so he could really use some help. They also need guns. Al-Qaida tried to kill Jack and the others on December 17, 2004. It was the fifth direct assassination attempt on their lives in six months.

Specifically, they need international law attorneys, with experience in the Hague, or US Military Courts, and willing to help defend this case in a Geneva Convention Tribunal, in Switzerland.

Click Here to Read More about the Geneva Convention and the POW Status Legal Brief Jack and his men filed with the Geneva Convention CIB.

Second, they need more copyright lawyers, especially in New York where most of the defendants are. They need a libel lawyer with experience in Constitutional Law in Dallas to take on the Dallas Morning News, or act as local counsel.

Third, they need an attorney with experience taking down internet sites and protecting copyright images. That attorney can be in NY, NC, or California. They will be handling the Floggin case. Because "SOJ" claims to be an American citizen living in Clug, Romania, and since they stole US Copyrighted pictures and intercepted US Mail, etc, etc. Floggin and "SOJ" can be sued in any state that Bennett, Caraballo, or Jack resides in.

Fourth, a Washington, DC law firm would be good if they had experience against the FBI or DOJ. Jack says he will be taking them on in DC. John Tiffany will most likely be lead counsel.

Fifth, FOIA lawyers from NY, NC, or DC, to help Jack in two ongoing FOIA Cases and two more upcoming FOIA cases, against the FBI, and the Department of State. Jack says this case would be very similar to the ongoing ACLU case in NYC against the FBI and CIA looking for documents. All of the initial FOIAs and Appeal FOIAs were already filed. Ambassador Khalilzad personally ordered all FOIA requests be ignored.

Sixth, Jack wants to find an attorney to sue the US DOS and FBI under the Alien Tort Claims act and FSIA for the torture of Major Ezmerai and Lt. Banderas, and for the wrongful death of Colonel Sherzaman Abdulrahimzai, who was killed by terrorists at Pulacharke Prison as the result of DOS and FBI negligence and the other wrongful acts outlined in the overview of the FBI suit. Jack is looking for an attorney or firm that can represent the Colonel's family and the families of the other three officers killed that day, and the four officers wounded.

Colonel Sherzaman was killed in the process of defending Jack and the others at Pulacharke. Two Iraqis, one Arab, and one Pakistani terrorist were killed, another Arab terrorist was critically wounded but survived, later giving a full confession about their plot to kill the SuperPatriots. Four Afghan military officers were killed defending the SuperPatriots. Two of them were very close friends with Jack, and his guys, including Colonel Sherzaman, who ran into the middle of the terrorists with a machinegun and just one magazine of bullets. The Colonel killed two terrorists and wounded one. The remaining terrorists critically wounded the Colonel, and then executed him twenty yards from the SuperPatriots. Northern Alliance Generals quickly came to Jack's aid and rescued the unarmed Americans as they held off 300 terrorists with barricades.

Seventh, Jack is looking for more attorneys to handle his pending North Carolina cases against Thompson and several others until his return, at which time he can takeover.

A Whirlwind is Coming
And Hell is Coming With It-

WHO'S ON THE DOCKET?

To the Honorable
Jury Presiding:

Some people call Jack a serial litigator. We call him a gangster of justice. Jack's Docket is a place you don't want to be. While the press often quotes the fact that Jack lost a copyright case against DreamWorks, they fail to mention that Jack turned down six figure settlement offers because he wanted to make case law. By the time the case reached the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, the DreamWorks defendants had spent more than half a million dollars in defense fees. And they are still NOT out of the case, in spite of what the press has reported. The Los Angeles Federal Court did NOT RULE that The Peacemaker starring George Clooney was not based on an event in Jack's life; they ruled that FACT was NOT protected and because Jack's story was real it could be infringed, partly because the copyright was not filed before the movie was released (which is why this site was copyrighted before publication- which also allows statutory damages). But, (lots of buts in Jack's life) just before the 9th Circuit Appeals Court Decision, the US Copyright Office issued a new copyright certificate, based on a letter Jack and author of War Story, Major Jim Morris, sent to Steven Spielberg in 1994. That letter contained the fictional aspects that Spielberg also stole for his film. According to Santa Monica attorney Francis Pizzulli, that case is about to be re-filed. I would not want to be DreamWorks, or for that matter, anyone that violated any law when it comes to this guy.

These Are The Cases We See Coming Down In The Near Future

Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad: Constitutional Violations Relating to Unlawful Search & Seizure, Theft, Complicity in Torture, Subverting Human Rights Violations, Conspiracy to Conceal Torture and Human Rights Abuses, Alien Tort Claims Act

Violation of Human Rights; There is clear and convincing evidence in the possession of United States Embassy Consular Officers that there was torture in this case, but that torture was not inflicted upon the terrorists. That torture was inflicted upon the men of Task Force Saber/7 in violation of Article 5 of the Afghan Criminal Code, the International Covenant on Human Rights, and the Geneva Convention by the NDS and with the knowledge and approval of the American FBI.

Ambassador Khalilzad has a problem with his complicity and authorizations in the cover-up and false statements made by the State Department. Khalilzad, an Afghan-American and former business associate of Karzai, who had former relations with oil companies and Taliban officials, personally prevented US officials from interfering in the continued torture of Jack and others. Khalilzad did many other things, but the one thing that seems to have gotten him on Jack's Docket is his blatant violations of the United States Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

Khalilzad's illegal search, seizure, and ban on mail and packages, has already resulted in one case being brought against him and is about to get Khalilzad sued for damages next.

On March 17, 2005, Khalilzad was named as a respondent in the habeas corpus case laid out on the Khalilzad page. His actions are about to get Khalilzad sued for damages too. The case is pretty clear cut. While that sort of civil case would have to be prosecuted under the criteria laid out in Bivens v. Six Unknown Federal Narcotics Agents, 403 U.S. 388 (1971). There is no doubt that Khalilzad would be liable under the venerable doctrine of respondeat superior, which makes Khalilzad liable for all illegal acts of the DOS officers under his control, including the US Consul officers and FBI Agents involved. The Bivens case paved the way to sue government officials for their interference, denial, or obstruction of constitutional rights.

Because the right to be free from official conduct in contravention of the Fourth Amendment, and all other rights guaranteed by the Bill of Rights, is a federally protected interest, Khalilzad is sure to see himself in federal court on a second case if that stack of mail in the graphic above doesn't stop making the loop from Task Force Saber/7 to the FBI to the US Consul and back again.

Jack and the guys would also be entitled to damages under Nixon v. Condon, 286 U.S. 73 (1932), Wiley v Sinkler, 179 U.S. 58 (1900) and an equally impressive and old list of US Supreme Court decisions. Their right to sue is guaranteed by another US Supreme Court case, Bell v. Hood, 327 U.S., at 684.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation: Constitutional Violations Relating to Unlawful Search & Seizure, &Theft, Illegal Arrest, Torture, Human Rights Violations, Alien Tort Claims Act

From the start, this case was illegal. The NDS officials who entered the compound in Karte-Parwan were in fact operating as agents of the FBI and therefore also violated the 4th Amendment of the US Constitution and International Law. They did so in violation of Afghan Criminal Code; Articles 32, 37, and 38. The violations of US law were clear constitutional violations, for which they are liable, see Bivens, 403 U.S. 388 (1971) . Further, American FBI agents were present at NDS when American and Afghan detainees were interrogated and severely tortured repeatedly during questioning, an egregious violation of rights by “actors” of the FBI and the FBI. This opens them up to additional Bivens liability, and also to liability under the Alien Tort Claims Act, in the case of Major Ezmerai and Lt. Rasuli who are foreign nationals.

Additionally, because the FBI influenced testimony, bribed and coerced prosecutors and judges, coerced Afghan defense personnel, and because ALL of the exculpatory evidence is now missing, the FBI is liable for obstruction of justice, suborning perjury, theft, abuse of process, witness tampering, illegal search and seizure, and that is only the start of what promises to be an interesting case. Lastly, it is alleged that the FBI engaged in rendition, another whole front is opened up. Rendering may be quasi-legal in the case of foreign al-Qaida fighters captured by US forces, but there is no way the US Supreme Court, and doubtfully any other federal court is going to rubber stamp the rendition of American citizens, born to US citizens, and born in the United States. Using the Patriot Act against Jack and his guys is not going to be an easy road either. On one hand you have Khalilzad, Karzai, Amrullah, Jalali all naturalized refugees from their own country who ran instead of standing against the Soviets with their countrymen, and on the other hand you have three Americans with 500 years of combined American ancestry. Unlike the Hamdi case, the FBI will not be able to make trades and deals and force the SuperPatriots to give up their citizenship in exchange for freedom. For now, the FBI is a 600 pound monkey on the SuperPats' back. If you want to see some of the banana peels that Bonzo is already slipping on, visit our FBI page.

It looks like Jack and the guys have an extremely good case against the FBI, and Director Robert S. Mueller was served with the Summons & Complaint on March 18, 2005.

Sir Edward Artis, et al: Fraud, Theft, Interference With Economic Prospective, Interference With Contract, Violation of California Business & Professional Code ß17200

"Sir" Edward is a self-appointed "Knight of Malta." In Afghanistan and other places he also likes people to call him "Doctor" Artis because of the $3500 PHD he got from a Russian, now-defunct, on-line diploma mill called American Coastline University. He likes to wear military awards that he didn't earn like the Bronze and Silver Star. He wears these, and his Knighthood medallions to various charity events and fundraisers.

Artis even had the audacity to wear his mail-order war medals to WestPoint during a summer dress blues event. He is a fraud. In fact, he is such a fraud, that he is even recognized by, the Special Operations activities that identify and defrock phony Green Berets and Navy SEALs. To find the real truth about Ed Artis, click on the two links to the left. These logos belong to the websites that verify Navy SEALs and Green Berets, clicking on them takes you to their websites. In 2001, Artis told Idema that he had Silver Stars, Bronze Stars, and was a Master Sergeant in the Green Berets who had gone to Navy SEAL school (BUDS), in preparation for a joint SEAL/SF "secret mission" in Vietnam. Artis was wearing his phony medals on his "Knights of Malta" tuxedo at fund raising events. All of that, of course, was hogwash. Idema reported him to the phony-hunters and Artis made their wall of shame. Since that time Artis has been obsessed with destroying Idema before their case goes to trial. We know for a fact, that Artis was one of the people that worked to have Idema arrested by making the very first accusations of torture when he found out Jack was back in Afghanistan rounding up terrorists. If you look at EVERY single defamatory article about Jack and his men, they ALL have one common source, Sir Edward Artis, the fabled Knight. If you look at the fake quotes that supposedly came out of Jack's military records- they all have ONE COMMON source- the "Navy SEAL Silver Star recipient," Ed Artis. The phony "parole report" that journalists keep quoting regarding Idema's "unremarkable" military career- ALL FROM Ed Artis. You have to hand it to the guy, he was brilliant. But if Jack gets back in time for that trial, Artis is toast.

Artis lies about how much aid his "humanitarian" front organization raises and gives away... he skims off the top of that. He has hated Jack ever since Jack caught him stealing official stationary to use for forging documents from Dr. Abdullah Abdullah of our Northern Alliance allies during the Afghan war in 2001-2002. He hates Jack because Jack is the real deal... everything "Sir" Edward wishes that he was. Because of this, the obsessive-compulsive Artis has led a relentless, vicious and deceitful smear campaign in the media against Jack. Is there any story against Jack that doesn't rely on Artis as its' primary source? Artis is facing serious litigation, and a serious jury trial which is scheduled for late June 2005 in Los Angeles County Superior Court (Note to Court TV: Camera coverage is allowed- Caraballo already has ringside seats and a new camera for it). Artis is being sued for the same thing many other people are in line for- he claimed that Jack's 8mm VideoX al-Qaida Tapes were fake.

Artis claimed that the book, The Hunt For Bin Laden was false (even though he was only in Afghanistan for about ten days of the entire war). He also accused Jack of murdering civilians during the 2001 war, and of bombing mosques. Sir Artis is specifically charged with the "publication of maliciously false statements, malice, and fraud,"

AND, he is also being sued for "unlawful, unfair, and fraudulent business acts and/or practices, and unfair, deceptive, untrue or misleading advertising" on behalf of the citizens of the State of California. He is also alleged to have entered into a conspiracy with FOX News and violated a myriad of laws regarding Jack's 8mm VideoX al-Qaida Training Tapes which FOX has been illegally airing for more than two years. Artis has already transferred his assets into his wife's name, including his house, with a Quick-Claim Deed sign-over to avoid losing everything. Is there any wonder why Artis has been working overtime to keep the SuperPatriots in prison? This is definitely a case to watch.

Chris Thompson, Joe Cafasso, Tracy Paul Warrington: Fraud, Theft, Unfair & Deceptive Trade Practices, Interference With Economic Prospective, Libel, Conversion, Embezzlement

Chris Thompson, a friend of "Sir" Ed, did not start out that way. He was in fact a friend of Jack's. He worked with Jack on The Hunt For Bin Laden Book. Thompson's research and editing abilities were good according to Jack, but not good enough to overlook his drugs, booze, and women abuse problems. The last straw seems to have been when Thompson showed up at Jack's office one night, after having beat his girlfriend unconscious and was being chased by the police. Jack had already helped him in NYC when he pulled a knife on a pizza man, impersonated a NYC police officer, beat up his girlfriend in an elevator (witnessed by an officer of the court, and captured on hotel surveillance video where the book tour was taking place). Needless to say, Thompson and a slew of other co-defendants are going to be in trial very soon in the case of Idema v. Thompson, et al, Superior Court, NC Case #04 CVS-1615.

Maxim Magazine: Violation of US Copyright

MAXIM Magazine violated US copyright laws, and a written contract with Jack by not licensing all of TF SABER 7's pictures. Therefore they may end up being sued. But we think not. Why? because in spite of the fact that their article contained several false accusations and painted Jack as some sort of war profiteer, they told the truth about the important things. The false statements centered around claiming that Jack requested $100 from a Washington Times' reporter for a tour of an al-Qaida base during the war. The reality is that Jack told the reporter he should not go there empty handed. The soldiers guarding the base were in desperate striates. They were poor and underfed. Jack asked the reporter to bring a bag of rice (about $85 during the war) and a can of cooking oil (about $20 during the war). The journalist refused, but Jack had agreed to bring a group there at the request of the Afghan government, so he bought the rice and oil himself and gave it to the soldiers saying it came from the journalist. Interestingly enough, the "unnamed" journalist (Richard S. Ehrlich - Washington Times) never printed this in his original stories, and came up with this fantasy only after Jack was accused of torture and kidnapping. As to the press conference Maxim wrote about in the first paragraphs, well, several reporters had been excluded from that private press conference about bin Laden during the war, so maybe it was just crossed wires. The reason we think MAXIM will get a free pass is because the journalist ended her article saying almost everything Jack ever told her turned out to be true (apparently one statement was unverifiable). The second reason is because the blame falls on the Photo Editor who should have known better. The third reason is that Robberson and other "Jack Haters" tried to slander the journalist and her article to discredit her and through her, the story and Jack. In Afghanistan there is a saying, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend, and my friend's enemy mine." That means Jack will probably let MAXIM slide just to piss off his enemies.

NY Magazine: Violation of US Copyright and Tortuous Interference With Contract

New York Magazine is facing serious copyright infringement claims, based on documents and photos that were stolen from confidential emails, and their involvement in a criminal conspiracy, not to mention a long list of civil torts based on using knowingly false sources, knowingly false information, and fake documents. Interestingly enough their reporter, Stacy Sullivan, chastises Dan Rather with various unsupported accusations, but engages in the same thing she accuses Rather of-- using phony documents. Rather might have aired forged documents, but he didn't know it at the time. On the other hand, Sullivan knew her documents were fake, and she never even saw one of the fake documents she quoted as absolute fact. To make matters worse, she uses a picture of Jack administering medical aid to a wounded man, and accuses him of torturing the man. She also made the same devastating mistake that Columbia Journalism Review made, when she alleged Jack's 8mm VideoX al-Qaida Tapes were fake, and that Jack fabricated them. That gets her and NY Magazine sued for Tortuous Interference With Economic Prospective. In other words, like CJR, NY Magazine claimed that intellectual property, belonging to Jack, was fake and that Jack defrauded the American public. NY Magazine better have lots of lawyers and a lot of money for this one. And, we wouldn't be surprised if John Tiffany ends up as a plaintiff, not a lawyer in this case because the inexperienced, over-enthusiastic cub reporter accused Tiffany of falsifying evidence in the Afghan criminal court proceeding. That is not only a lie, but a fully actionable tort.

Bruce Wasserstein, Chairman of New York Magazine Holdings, LLC, and publisher Lawrence C. Burstein, have significant exposure on this one. Stacy Sullivan told an officer of the court that her article was radically different but that her editor rewrote the article. That leaves her bosses wide open, and if Jack can prove it was intentional malice, or link them to other defendants such as Tod Robberson, Mariah Blake, or Floggin the Simian, he might be able to draw them into a civil RICO action as "co-conspirators acting in concert" [ see: Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, as set forth in 18 U.S.C. ß1962 (C) and (D), and ß1964(C)]. This will also be a case to watch.

Flogging The Simian: Violation of US Copyright, Wire Fraud, Mail Fraud, Extortion

These guys are perhaps in the worst situation of all. This blogger made the mistake of directly attacking Jack's family and wife. That made this case personal, and Jack has stated more than once to lawyers, journalists, and us, that he will "spare no effort or expense to bring these bastards to justice." This might not concern someone as flippant and cruel as these people have been to Jack's family and friends, but a rational person? They would not be taking this lightly. Perhaps that is why the Floggin people have spent so much time trying to keep Jack in jail. They may want to link up with al-Qaida since both of them have similar goals, to keep Jack from tracking them down. As to the legal case, all of the photos on the site are copyright protected and clearly stolen, that means they face prosecution for crimes which can easily cross international borders, all the way to Romania. They also face civil prosecution for fraud, and most of all they face significant criminal prosecution for theft of mail, interception of mail, criminal conspiracy, electronic eavesdropping (illegally accessing email), extortion- based on threats made to Jack's wife in an attempt to get information (they even admit this on their site now), and some other crimes which we have been asked not to divulge yet. To find out more visit our Floggin page through the button here:

FOX News: Violation of Copyright, Fraud, Theft, Unfair & Deceptive Trade Practices, Interference With Economic Prospective

FOX News is already in litigation in Los Angeles Superior Court, although the case was dismissed based on a protective California SLAM law that shields news agencies from being sued. The case is currently in the California Court of Appeals (Idema v. Fox News Network, SC #BC296228).

It is expected that a new case will be filed against FOX News upon Idema's return, or sooner if that return is not in the immediate future. The case is based on FOX News' theft of the 8mm VideoX al-Qaida Training Tapes Jack captured in Afghanistan in 2001. While CJR and NY Magazine are claiming the tapes are fake, hundreds of thousands of dollars in litigation costs are being spent to protect them, and FOX has been throwing lawyers at Jack like rainwater to keep airing them illegally. The case revolves around a "clip reel" sent to FOX by a NY agent, then FOX's ersatz licensing certificate, fraudulently obtained as a defense to airing Jack's tapes without licensing them. This has case has recently taken a new twist, which is really going to put the heat on FOX, but we have been asked to hold that back until the new pleadings are filed.

Columbia Journalism Review: Unfair & Deceptive Trade Practices, Fraud, & Conversion

This case is based on the article CJR ran calling Jack a "Tin Soldier." There are things about Jack that are not good, and he is certainly not lily white, but he is definitely no Tin Soldier. In spite of articles claiming he was never a Green Beret, that ludicrous accusation is completely blasted out of the water on this website. Where CJR went wrong, and left themselves wide open for a devastating lawsuit, was when they let their reporter Mariah Blake steal documents out of Jack's office (NC criminal charges are also on the horizon), and when they engaged in a conspiracy to steal US Mail, illegally access email (another crime), reprinted false rumors and accusations that appeared on blogger sites as fact, falsified supposed "bank record" information, and completely forgot about journalistic ethics.

Blake used "Sir" Edward Artis as her primary source, yet conveniently glosses over Jack's lawsuit against Artis which has been in court for two years. As we stated, Artis has worn phony medals (including US Army Silver Star and Bronze Star medals), is a phony Knight, and falsely claims he is a Green Beret and Navy SEAL. Now that is a tin soldier; yet Blake is calling Jack the "Tin Soldier." But (those "buts" again), where they really stepped on it was when they alleged Jack's 8mm VideoX al-Qaida Tapes were fake, and that Jack fabricated them. That gets them sued for Tortuous Interference With Economic Prospective. In other words, CJR claimed that intellectual property, belonging to Jack, was fake and that Jack defrauded the American public. If we were CJR we'd be begging someone for some real evidence of this, because without that, the Dean at Columbia University is going to be cutting a million+ check.

Dallas Morning News: Violations Relating to Unlawful Search & Seizure, Theft, Conversion

The Dallas Morning News is facing similar claims as CJR. Their reporter, Tod Robberson entered Pulacharke Prison under false pretenses, with false ID, and illegally searched the living quarters of the SuperPatriots. Robberson then conducted an illegal search and seizure by removing confidential documents while the SuperPatriots were in court. Dallas Morning News has already been put on notice by Jack's lawyers to retain all emails and documents pending imminent litigation. That means if they start destroying emails, notes, or documents, they are in violation of the federal law (most likely with criminal consequences). NY Magazine and CJR have also received similar letters regarding the retention of evidence pending litigation. Robberson also impugned the integrity of the 8mm VideoX al-Qaida Tapes and will be facing charges, along with his employer, related to that. It is interesting to note that Robberson tried to convince Jack to let him write a book about him two years ago and Jack refused. When the Afghan story broke Robberson then tried to peddle another book idea based on Jack-- this time with Jack as the bad guy and Tod as the faithful servant of the people tracking jack down. Because Robberson's latest book idea was spiked by the Maxim article, and subsequently turned down by publisher, Robberson went after Laura Winters (MAXIM) in a clear cut vendetta, and even threatened her. Then, when all else failed, Robberson accused her (an engaged woman) of sleeping with Jack, and got her fired from CBS. Anyone that knows the two of them know that Robberson's accusations were patently false and fabricated out of spite. Robberson allegedly used the stolen TASK FORCE SABER 7 documents to help sell his second book about Jack, and that amounts to Conversion, and various other claims, all of which his employer will be liable for since Dallas Morning News paid Robberson's bill for the subterfuge. Dallas based BELO CORP (with assets of $1.4 billon) owns the Dallas Morning News, so you can pretty much expect to see them as a defendant too.

Et Al: That Means; "& Company" - "& Others" Because It Is Obvious That A Lot More News Agencies, "Lying Journalists" and "Lying" Sources Are Going to Be Sued Before This War Is Over

To find out more about possible defendants you can leave the Legal Section of this site and return to the SuperPatriots section about Flogging the Simian, Jaded Press Sources, Lie Slinging Journalists, Press Lies, and a host of other information that will give you the real story about this case right from the mouths of the real guys that are living it. Use the links below to head to the press section, or use the big SuperPatriots Banner at the bottom to head home.

Hamid Karzai, et al: The Case Against Them

Karzai has personal involvement in the case, and complicity in the illegal acts against the SuperPatriots. To start, he allegedly authorized their arrest on behalf of the FBI without first asking the Minister of Defence if they were acting legally and with government authorization. To make matters worse, Karzai knew Jack from the 2001/2002 war and had personally authorized Jack to conduct a variety of operations during that time. One of the most visible was Jack's participation in Nahrin Rescue Operation in March/April 2002, when Karzai provided him with a government helicopter.

Amrullah Saleh also has personal involvement in the case. Saleh was an interpreter for an NGO in Pakistan when the war broke out in 2001. His knowledge of the United States and his impeccable English, made him a perfect choice for CIA operators coming into the country and Saleh quickly found himself a new high-paying job, going from $400 a month, to $200 a day. When the war wound down, Saleh, found himself with lots of contacts, dual citizenship (he had lived in the US), and political ambition. In 2003, the FBI, hot to break into the Afghan counter-terrorist ops club, started setting up shop in Kabul by throwing around lots of money. They aligned with Amrullah, used their State Department contacts to get Engineer Araf (a Massoud man and high-ranking member of the Northern Alliance) fired. Karzai, with the help of the FBI, now had control of the country's intelligence service, and that meant he could decrease Panshir power and protect his Pashtun "former" Taliban appointees. Saleh is alleged, and significant evidence exists to support it, to have personally beaten Jack and Lt. Banderas to unconsciousness while handcuffed in his office, and while FBI agents stood in the hallway laughing.

Judge Bakhtyari not only sanctioned and authorized extensive torture of the men, but fully refused to follow the law. He is already under fire for more than 100 violations of the 26 most important articles of the Afghan Criminal Code. NOT ONCE were the accused able to examine any court or evidence file. The files were waved in the air at the accused, shown to the press, shown to alleged victims, and were repeatedly promised to the accused. But still, after fifteen court appearances in eight months, the files have never been seen by the accused.

However, the NDS files have been sold to the press by the Primary Court Prosecutor, Saranwal Nahim Dawari. Furthermore, the NDS files were given to reporters by Dawari to review overnight and therefore the chain of evidence was violated and broken. The files are no longer inviolate, and therefore are tainted evidence. Add this into Dawari's brutal interrogations of witnesses, destruction of exculpatory evidence, and links to the Taliban, and you have a solid case for abuse of process and the concealment of terrorist acts.

Sherzai, one of Jack's house staff, testified twice under oath during the new Appeals Court trial, that he was beaten, that he is illiterate, that he refused to sign a statement against Jack, and that he was then given Valium, rendered semi-conscious and his thumbprint forcibly placed on a statement he never read or made. Fatah is alleged to have authorized this, along with the extended torture of the other men, and electrocution of Northern Alliance Commando Major Ezmerai Amin. In recent months, Fatah has tried to coerce Northern Alliance officials to withdraw protection of Jack in Pulacharke Prison and to "apply additional pressure on top of them." Basically, in Afghan talk, that means reinstitute torture in order to obtain confessions now that Fatah's case against Task Force Saber 7 has fallen apart and four men already ordered released by the Appeals Court.

Another member of the rogues' gallery is Mohammed Sidiq, the "religious" judge arrested by Jack and his men. They had not originally targeted him, but Sidiq was at the house when two other known terrorists were having chai (Afghan tea) at 0600 hours when TF SABER 7 raided the house with ISAF, the National Police, Amniat, the Ministry of Defense, and a National Security Advisor's Security Detail. Sidiq would probably not have been arrested if the terrorist-hunters had not found pictures of Sidiq with Gulbideen Hekmatyar, one of the world's most wanted terrorists, along with bomb plans, explosive detonators, al-Qaida and Hezb-i-Islami documents and recruiting cards, and a letter from Wanted Terrorist Mullah Omar in his pocket. The case against Sidiq will undoubtedly be for perjury, terrorism, conspiracy to torture, and extortion (Sidiq demanded money in return for testimony).

With evidence taken by the FBI, the chain of custody destroyed, documents missing, and repeated violations of almost every section of the Criminal Code, the criminal case is a travesty of justice. As stated in the defendants' latest motion in front of the Appeals Court; "no matter what the court does to correct these injustices it is too late, the damage is done, it was done long before the Second Court took over the case. It was done by untrained police who broke the rules in their zeal to pander to, and help, the FBI. It was done by NDS officials and the Primary Court Saranwal who were under pressure by the American FBI, and it was done by the FBI." The Afghan Court is going to be left with little choice when faced with this many blatant and intentional violations, but to exclude all prosecution evidence and dismiss the charges. Even so, according to John Tiffany, the men will not accept such a dismissal now, they are demanding an undeniable verdict of absolute innocence.
