In a high-profile case, the pressure is on the government to keep pursuing it.

This is, by state court standards, a very stiff sentence.

I think this verdict says, 'Well, wait a second'; juries are not going to simply accept what the government says as being obscene. They obviously listened to our arguments; we just weren't able to convince them that the standard wasn't met on one of the movies. I'm encouraged from a worldwide perspective, but very disappointed on behalf of my client to have a conviction in the case.

As long as there is no government, Iraqis tend to view the situation as one of occupation.

Tyranny and despotism can be exercised by many, more rigourously, more vigourously, and more severely, than by one.

The government must relocate these people.
