I first heard about these guys a few years back when I was looking for info to shut some muppet up who was going on about America's great tradition of 'right thinking' or something like that... Anyway, I just got a download of the film made about them that was released this year and am about to watch. I'm sure it's gonna be good.

Here's an interview with the director of the film.

The story was featured on a recent episode of Democracy Now which might interest you. I admit I knew (and still know) very little about the case, but it sounds like an incredible miscarriage of justice.

cheers major, watching it now. First thing I'm hearing is about suicide bombings, especially one guy who blew himself up on the doorstep of the american Attorney General? That's news to me for sure...
