A coalition of 23 media organizations and public interest groups organized by The Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press -- including such notable news companies as The New York Times, The Washington Post, Gannett, Knight Ridder, Hearst, ABC News, and CNN -- joined forces today in an unusual effort to intervene in the U.S. Supreme Court appeal of an Algerian-born man detained after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
The coalition members seek to become parties to the case in order to represent the interests of the public and news media in ensuring that proceedings are conducted openly, in compliance with the First Amendment.
"A free and open society cannot tolerate hiding federal court proceedings from public view," said Lucy A. Dalglish, Reporters Committee Executive Director. "By participating in this case, the media aim to ensure that the proper balance is drawn between secrecy in the name of national security and the public's right to know."

"Mob Underground"
A young art student sees himself in a painting by some obscure sidewalk artist in London. At best he regards this as an art happening, an illusionary technique perfected by the painter. Nevertheless, he finds his situation entertaining, as if he has discovered the other side of the mind, the unexplained riddle of the secret of the masters. Now he looks searchingly into an image of an underground tunnel. A yellow haze of light at its entrance shines in kaleidoscopic patterns. The rush of the mob to the bottom is slow like the unseen motion of a planet's revolution. He thinks of Strauss and Kubrick. At this precise moment he does not perceive himself as an artistic subject, painted from life. He notes the artist has used subtractive primaries with the addition of the isolated colors yellow and blue, the style Scientific Cubism. He remembers the words of Picasso. There is no abstract art. You must always start with something. Afterward you can remove all traces of reality. In a moment the mob will begin the scream of the rush.
