Israeli forces arrest Hebron journalist
Ma’an – 14/11/2011
HEBRON — Israeli forces detained a Palestinian journalist on Sunday night after raiding his home in the Wadi Hariyya neighborhood of Hebron in the southern West Bank, a Ma’an correspondent said.
Raed al-Sharif, 23, had been briefly detained and interrogated by Israeli intelligence in October 2010.
Director of the Palestinian prisoner’s society in Hebron Amjad Najjar denounced the detention, describing it as part of Israel’s policy of “intimidation against Palestinian journalists to prevent them from reporting the truth about the torture and oppression of Israeli occupation practices against the Palestinian people.”
An Israeli army spokeswoman said that al-Sharif was arrested for “suspected involvement in terrorist activity.”

“In the Bush administration, the state secrets doctrine was used to buttress the power of the president and make it difficult if not impossible to contest such issues as presidential authority to conduct warrantless wiretapping in the United States. We would think that when such disagreements occur, it’s properly before the judiciary to resolve them. But the Bush administration asserted the state secrets doctrine for the purpose of making it effectively impossible for courts to review the matter.”
“… the apparent willingness of the Obama administration’s Justice Department to carry further that same argument in federal court. It is of great concern.” – Marc Rotenberg of the Electronic Privacy Information Center
“Maybe the law isn’t about right or wrong. The concept that the government lied to the Supreme Court seemed to me a terrible thing to do. It appears that the justices were not as appalled as I was.” – Plaintiff Judy Palya Loether
