1:52 a.m. - I Just Spoke with Our Reporter

Submitted September 1, 2004 - 1:54 am by Al Giordano
Thank you, Ben, and everyone else who has moved the "Narco News swarm" in the past three hours, including certain old Bronx neighborhood buddies who are now NYPD sargeants and such, and also Lord High Webmahster Dan Feder, who remained at his post late into the night to make some magic happen.

In this world of total surveillance, sometimes we get a break.

I just spoke - from somewhere in a country called América! - to journalist Jennifer Whitney, live, via contraband cell phone. She is inside the entrails of the New York City penitentiary system, from a pier off West 15th Street.

She is alive, she is well, she has not been poisoned by industrial toxins (like some, reportedly, yesterday, were), she has not been beaten (like others were), she is with most members of the musical group known as Infernal Noise Brigade, also detained, who are also well, and she is of good cheer.

And she thanks all the members of the Narco News Team who have worked overtime tonight to locate and protect our own.

In a few hours, the jailbreak begins. Here, we leave no Authentic Journalist behind.

Our Policy on Comment Submissions: Co-publishers of Narco News (which includes The Narcosphere and The Field) may post comments without moderation. All co-publishers comment under their real name, have contributed resources or volunteer labor to this project, have filled out this application and agreed to some simple guidelines about commenting.

Narco News has recently opened its comments section for submissions to moderated comments (that’s this box, here) by everybody else. More than 95 percent of all submitted comments are typically approved, because they are on-topic, coherent, don’t spread false claims or rumors, don’t gratuitously insult other commenters, and don’t engage in commerce, spam or otherwise hijack the thread. Narco News reserves the right to reject any comment for any reason, so, especially if you choose to comment anonymously, the burden is on you to make your comment interesting and relevant. That said, as you can see, hundreds of comments are approved each week here. Good luck in your comment submission!
