Prison Writings of LEONARD PELTIER

Silence, they say, is the voice of complicity.
But silence is impossible.
Silence screams.
Silence is a message,
Just as doing nothing is an act.

Let who you are ring out and resonate
in every word and every deed.
Yes, become who you are.
There's no sidestepping your own being
or your own responsibility.

What you do is who you are.
You are your own comeuppance.
You become your own message.

You are the message.

1. JUSTICE FOR PELTIER!

Recently, the Toronto Sun published erroneous information, claiming that the Arlo Looking Cloud transcript revealed that Leonard had an active role in the death of Anna Mae Aquash. In response to that article and to set the record straight, the Leonard Peltier Legal Team had the Toronto Sun publish the letter to the editor set forth below. As we know, the Arlo Looking Cloud trial was used by unnamed sources to conduct a smear campaign against Leonard to ensure that Leonard never achieves freedom. This malicious and intentional campaign of misinformation against Leonard has once again begun in connection with the pending extradition of John Graham and will intensify as the Graham matter progresses. It is essential that we all fervently battle the misinformation and media manipulation that jeopardizes Leonard's freedom.
Unlike the Arlo Looking Cloud trial when the LPDC made a choice not to attack the rumors, assuming the public would see through and recognize the misinformation, we now know that we cannot sit idle and allow the media to print lies about Leonard. So, we ask all of Leonard's supporters to assist us in quelching the misinformation, and challenge the public in general to scrutinize statements made about Leonard to determine whether in fact they are true before accepting at face value the words of the media and those people who wish to continue the unjust plight of Leonard.

JUSTICE FOR LEONARD PELTIER!

In his June 26 article, "Justice for Anna Mae, Peter Worthington wrote that in the trial of Arlo Looking Cloud "it was claimed that Leonard Peltier, now 30 years in Leavenworth prison for the murder of two FBI agents on the Pine Ridge Reserve in 1975, gave orders that Anna Mae (Brown) be 'executed' as a suspect informer for the FBI."

That statement is absolutely wrong. There was no testimony in Arlo Looking Cloud's trial, nor any evidence elsewhere, that Mr. Peltier "gave orders" that Anna Mae be executed.

This statement appears to be a part of a continuing disinformation campaign against Mr. Peltier by sources that want to harm him and ensure he never gains freedom.

I represent Mr. Peltier and I challenge people to review the testimony of the Arlo Looking Cloud trial for themselves to determine that there is no support for the statement that Mr. Peltier "gave orders" that Anna Mae be executed.
