Terror Lawyer Says She’d Do It All Over Again
Bitch.
…One law student, Michael McGovern, interrupted Stewart as she answered questions after the conference, saying: “You don’t deserve a forum - you’re a disgrace, you should be in jail, you put our country in danger.”
October 17, 2007 — Disbarred terror lawyer Lynne Stewart held court at Hofstra yesterday - unrepentant about the help she gave to a World Trade Center bombing conspirator.
Stewart was convicted in 2005 of smuggling secret messages out of prison for Islamic terrorist Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman. Yesterday, she spoke at a panel discussion at the school’s Hempstead campus to a packed room of about 200 people.
Dozens more watched on closed-circuit TV in an adjacent room.
She denied aiding terrorism, claiming she was just overzealous in the defense of her client, and said she would appeal the conviction.
“We’re going to fight this until the cows come home,” she said.
Stewart helped Abdel-Rahman, who was convicted of planning a massive terror-bombing campaign in New York, pass messages to an Egyptian associate posing as a translator while she pretended to ask questions.
She later called her performance Academy Award-worthy, but yesterday said that was “an unfortunate remark.”
She called Abdel-Rahman himself “a remarkable man,” and said, “Yes, I would do it again, but I would do it differently.”
Stewart said even though she represents clients who are reviled, “I don’t do cops who kill kids on the streets of Brooklyn.”
One law student, Michael McGovern, interrupted Stewart as she answered questions after the conference, saying: “You don’t deserve a forum - you’re a disgrace, you should be in jail, you put our country in danger.”

Mr. Mcgovern said it all, with the exception of, “just what the fuck is wrong with you, anyway?!”

October 17th, 2007 at 1:46 pmI’m all for sending this bitch to Gitmo.
October 17th, 2007 at 1:57 pmThe real reason is…..drum roll…..she is so ugly, she walked into Taco Bell and everyone headed for the border!
She’s a freaking fanatic and a nut is the other, more obvious reason.
October 17th, 2007 at 1:58 pmWouldn’t it be great to find out when these suicide bombers go to their so call paradise and when they are given their seventy-two virgins they all looked like Lynn Stewart. Now that would explain why they are virgins and what makes hell a place of torment!
October 17th, 2007 at 9:04 pmHi, this is Michael McGovern. Thanks for your support! I was nervous about backlash that I may receive for my actions, but with the exception of a few negative replies, most people have been behind me. It took a lot of restraint for me not to go overboard when I interrupted her, but I did not want to detract from the things that needed to be said. Furthermore, the whiskers on her face strongly support my beliefs that this is not a woman, but rather an animal.
I am disappointed that Hofstra had her speak at a legal ethics conference, and was ashamed that my school would provide her a forum. I pray that justice will be served and that she loses her appeal goes to prison where she belongs!
