The ISLAMIC SOCIETY OF BOSTON has hit GREATER MEDIA Talk WTKK (FM TALK 96.9)/BOSTON with a subpeona in its defamation case against the BOSTON HERALD, FOX O&O WFXT-TV (FOX 25)BOSTON, and Jewish groups who have criticized the mosque. The HERALD reports that the subpeona is demanding copies of afternoon host MICHAEL GRAHAM's show in which he discussed the case, but civil liberties lawyer HARVEY SILBERGLATE told the paper that the subpeona goes as far as asking for materials supporting GRAHAM's comments and relating to defendant THE DAVID PROJECT lawyer JEFFREY ROBBINS' appearance on the show and communications between GRAHAM and defendants or their attorneys, about which SILVERGLATE said "courts have to take seriously their obligation, their duty to protect the First Amendment, because civil litigation can be overwhelming and can really easily turn into harassment."
