Obama caves on Risen prosecution . . . . Norman Solomon: “This is a big victory for defying illegitimate authority. The Bush and Obama administrations have tried to coerce and intimidate James Risen with a series of subpoenas beginning in early 2008.

An estimated 600 people attended two peaceful protests held at a Westfield shopping centre in Shepherd’s Bush, west London - one inside the centre and one outside.
