Civil Liberties and Broadcast Media
Both Iqbal's lawyer and the American Civil Liberties Union were concerned that Iqbal's arrest violated the First Amendment. In August 2006, Iqbal's lawyer called the allegations "completely ridiculous" and said he did not know of another other instance where a person had violated the law in the U.S. by providing access to a news outlet. Donna Lieberman of the ACLU said it "raises serious First Amendment concerns," and said she was "deeply troubled" over Iqbal being charged.WashingtonPost.com: New Yorker Arrested for Providing Hezbollah TV Channel (August 25, 2006)-
