cell phone coverage is spotty in Westmoreland.  He could have been released from the courthouse, though.  Someone want to call the court and get more details?

I wonder if they dragged him to court and gave him one last chance to kiss their boots to get off and he complied. Speculation

Maybe I should have waited to order my Free Ian shirt from bile. Oh well, it will serve as a potent reminder of the gun in the room.

the digg post and resultant publicity is mightier than the robe/jailer's key

I have a feeling it won't be the first time someone named Ian will be jailed who you'd like to see freed :-/

Could become a collectors item... or something...

Could very well be useful in the future. I doubt this little stunt of theirs is going to shut him up.

Should be a REALLY interesting FTL show tonight!  I can't wait to hear Ian's story.

I just talked to Larry. Ian's charges of contempt stand, but his time is being suspended. Which means he "has to be good" for a year or so. But he's either free, or scheduled to be free soon.

So magnanimous.   ::)

This was really starting to gain serious momentum.  They killed it just in time.

This is good. It seems they were put in a no-win situation, and had to save face.

I agree. It's awesome personally that Ian's out (if this is true, and it seems like it is).

But his ridiculous imprisonment would have hurt the government even more. If they did release him today, they were smart to do so - it makes them look a little less violent than had they not.
