[Note from operatingthetan.com.  Lucas refers in this to 
another email of hers which was published.  I didn't
publish that, and apparently it wasn't intended to be
published.  So I don't duplicate that here now.  However,
this one is intended for publication, so I do.]

Apologies to anyone who gets this twice.  I don't have a grouup set up
and so I'm placing you all into the "bcc" address from typing a first
letter into that field.

From the attorney who will represent Keith at hearing tomorrow:
"According to the jail, he is scheduled for Monday morning, 8:00 am,
for Initial Appearance for Fugitive From Justice Warrant, in the
Superior Court."

The initial legal document is attached.

First, I want to make a plea for letters to the Governor of Arizona
(first), and to the Governor of California and the Attorney General of
California.  The governor of California signed a "Governor's Warrant"
for Keith requesting his extradition from Arizona for "obstruction of
justice."  Why?  Especially why when a Governor's Warrant is very rare
in anything but felony cases.

The State usually doesn't want to pay for the extradition of a
misdemeanant.  What fund is this money coming out of?  I suspect it's
coming out of the $cientology coffers.  If it isn't, is it coming out
of the general fund supporting widows and orphans and WIC and health
services, and if so, why is it that important to drag back an old man
sentenced 5-1/2 years ago for an insignificant misdemeanor?  The
Attorney General should be asked the same kinds of questions and asked
to look into the initial (2000-2001) case in Hemet against Keith,
including the extravagant and unsupported sentence.

The Governor of Arizona has to sign the extradition warrant, and again
I'd like to know why.  Given the death threats against Keith from the
the "Church" should he serve time in jail in corrupt Riverside County,
I would rather have him serve time in Arizona than there, if he has to
serve time.  Since he is innocent of any crime, certainly I would
prefer to see him free again.  I should state here that he is not safe
in any jail, since apparently the $cientology tactic is to spread
rumors that he is a child molester and encourage inmates to do him
bodily harm on that account.

Third, I want to apologize for a private communication that I didn't
realize was going to become public on a blog.  In the first fit of my
anger and sorrow after seeing my beloved, sweet husband taken away in
handcuffs (again!)--I screamed myself hoarse Friday night with no one
here to hear me, and I'm still hoarse--I wrote someone that I hated
this country and if I could get Keith out of jail couldn't wait to
leave it.  I had no idea (but I should have realized, even at 1 a.m.)
that that emotional outburst would become part of the eternal
Internet, and I apologize for my fit of rage.  I promise to be careful
from hereon about what I say and write both publicly and privately,
since I'm clearly subject to being quoted without permission and out
of context--the context in this case being rage, fear, and extreme
grief, since I don't know if I will ever see him again.  The context
also includes my sense of betrayal by a country in which I was taught
as a child that there was freedom of speech and assembly and person,
and that there were human rights upon which one could rely, and that
evil would be punished, and that there was justice, etc.  Keith's
prosecution violated the principle of freedom of speech, since his
only "crime" was picketing.  Whenever there has been a formal
assemblage of people trying to expose $cientology as a criminal
syndicate, that assemblage has been destroyed by $cientology with no
intervention from any authorities.  Certainly neither $cientology's
staff members nor targeted critics have had freedom of their persons
and property, as the record shows.  So please forgive my outburst, and
I ask for your understanding of its context.  To the person who posted
my fit of words on your blog, please post this apology also.

Thanks,
Arel
