> * The Justice Department suffered a setback in May when Miami Federal Judge Adalberto Jordan dismissed the government's case against Greenpeace for protesting illegal mahogany shipments from the Brazilian Amazon. Over 100,000 people worldwide sent protest messages to George W. Bush and U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft demanding that the case be dropped, and Senator Patrick Leahy warned that a successful prosecution would "have a chilling effect on free speech and activism of all kinds."
