Norman Finkelstein For The Defense

Here is a trial that has been surfacing now and then in the news:
Salah, 53, of Bridgeview, has been on trial in Chicago for two months on charges that he served as a high-ranking operative of the militant Palestinian group Hamas, which the U.S. government considers a terrorist organization. Defense attorneys contend that the Salah prosecution is a politically motivated appeasement of the Israeli lobby.
To strengthen their case, the defense has called in Norman Finkelstein.
Considering the increasingly popular claim of Israeli influence in the US, this trial--and its verdict--will have serious repercussions.

I've written a fuller post on Finkelstein's entry into the fray at Soccer Dad.
