Mr. Worthington will only privately acknowledge misinformation in
his
article of June 26, 2006 - A message from the Leonard Peltier Legal
Team and
the Leonard Peltier Defense Committee!

To: Leonard Peltier Supporters

From: Leonard Peltier Legal Team and the Leonard Peltier Defense
Committee

Date: July 10, 2006

"Mr. Worthington will only privately acknowledge misinformation in
his

article of June 26, 2006, entitled 'Justice for Anna Mae.'"

On June 26, 2006, Leonard's attorney, Barry Bachrach, alerted Mr.

Worthington that he had spread misinformation about Leonard Peltier
in the

above entitled article, "Justice for Anna Mae" In an email of that
same

date, Mr. Worthington wrote to Mr. Bachrach:

Barry . . . You might want to consider e-mailing this, or something
like

it, to the editor (www.editor@...). I think the key
aspect is

to alert readers that misinformation is out there, and be wary,
because the

Sun has been the one paper that has consistently championed
Leonard's cause

(look him and me up on Google). Anyway, this helps set the record
straight.

Sorry to have caused you problems and I hope to be at John Boy's
trial.

. . Peter w.

PS have not yet received your material.

Letter to Editor of Toronto Sun, by Barry Bachrach, Attorney for
Leonard

Peltier

To the editor:

I represent Leonard Peltier and am writing about Peter Worthington's

article in the Toronto Sun of June 26, 2006 entitled "Justice for
Anna Mae."

In it, Mr. Worthington wrote that in the trial of Arlo

Looking Cloud "it was claimed that Leonard Peltier, now 30 years in

Leavenworth prison for the murder of two FBI agents on the Pine Ridge

Reserve in 1975, gave orders that Anna Mae be 'executed' as a suspect

informer for the FBI." This is absolutely wrong. There is no
testimony in

that neither trial, nor evidence elsewhere, that Mr. Peltier "gave
orders"

that Anna Mae be executed. This statement attributed to Mr. Peltier
has

appeared on the CBC and has run in newspapers, and is demonstrably
wrong

and verges on disinformation by sources that want to do Mr. Peltier
harm. I

trust the Sun will take note and ensure that this will not happen
again, and

will double-check the sources of similar allegations.

Barry Bachrach

Worcester, Ma. 01608

NOTE: Because Mr. Worthington and the Sun have failed to publicly
retract

the acknowledged error, or to in any way publicly acknowledge their
error in

their words, we felt it important that the acknowledgment of the
error be

published so the media and any other person will not repeat these
libelous

statements.

Very Truly Yours,

Barry Bachrach, Attorney for Leonard Peltier

Committee

Committee

Subject: JUSTICE FOR PELTIER !

Recently, the Toronto Sun published erroneous information, claiming
that the

Arlo Looking Cloud transcript revealed that Leonard had an active
role in

the death of Anna Mae Aquash. In response to that article and to set
the

record straight, the Leonard Peltier Legal Team had the Toronto Sun
publish

the letter to the editor set forth below. As we know, the Arlo
Looking Cloud

trial was used by unnamed sources to conduct a smear campaign against

Leonard to ensure that Leonard never achieves freedom. This
malicious and

intentional campaign of misinformation against Leonard has once
again begun

in connection with the pending extradition of John Graham and will
intensify

as the Graham matter progresses. It is essential that we all
fervently

battle the misinformation and media manipulation that jeopardizes
Leonard's

freedom.

Unlike the Arlo Looking Cloud trial when the LPDC made a choice not
to

attack the rumors, assuming the public would see through and
recognize the

misinformation, we now know that we cannot sit idle and allow the
media to

print lies about Leonard. So, we ask all of Leonard's supporters to
assist

us in quelching the misinformation, and challenge the public in
general to

scrutinize statements made about Leonard to determine whether in
fact they

are true before accepting at face value the words of the media and
those

people who wish to continue the unjust plight of Leonard.

Tag: 0606280395

Edition: Final

Section: Editorial/Opinion

Length: 29 lines

Page: 20

Column: Letter of the Day

JUSTICE FOR LEONARD PELTIER!

In his June 26 article, "Justice for Anna Mae, Peter Worthington
wrote that

in the trial of Arlo Looking Cloud "it was claimed that Leonard
Peltier, now

30 years in Leavenworth prison for the murder of two FBI agents on
the Pine

Ridge Reserve in 1975, gave orders that Anna Mae (Brown)
be 'executed' as a

suspect informer for the FBI." That statement is absolutely wrong.
There was
no testimony in Arlo Looking Cloud's trial, nor any evidence
elsewhere, that
Mr. Peltier "gave orders" that Anna Mae be executed. This statement
appears
to be a part of a continuing disinformation campaign

against Mr. Peltier by sources that want to harm him and ensure he
never
gains freedom. I represent Mr. Peltier and I challenge people to
review the
testimony of the Arlo Looking Cloud trial for themselves to
determine that
there is no support for the statement that Mr. Peltier "gave orders"
that
Anna Mae be executed.
