Radack Sues Justice Dept.

by TChris

TalkLeft reported in July that Jesselyn Radack lost her job with the Justice Department after objecting to the Department's ethical lapses in its prosecution of John Walker Lindh. Now Radack is fighting back.

In a federal lawsuit, the lawyer, Jesselyn Radack, accused Justice Department officials of destroying internal e-mail messages that spelled out her concerns about the Federal Bureau of Investigation's interrogation of Mr. Lindh after he was captured with the Taliban in late 2001.

Radack says she complained about the Department's decision to interrogate Lindh in the absence of his lawyer. Radack's lawsuit contends that the Justice Department retaliated against her whistleblowing by giving her negative performance reviews and by forcing her to resign.
