		Bill Kunstler himself suggested that each of the defendants prepare a statement to be delivered before he said anything or answered any questions at the news conference that would follow the hearing.
		The flag-burners sought out Bill Kunstler to represent them in significant part because they trusted him to allow them to speak for themselves and not to distort their politics to maximize the chances of legal "victory" (a common and often counter-productive strategy of apolitical lawyers in political cases.)
		Bill Kunstler isn't around around anymore to make to Congress, or to the public, the case for the right to burn flags which I feel privileged to have heard him make, so well, in 1989 and 1990 to the Supreme Court.

	July 2002: 'Politics on Trial': Introduction to a New Book of writings from the Late , William Kunstler
		We have no doubt that Bill Kunstler would have been in the forefront of those opposed to these recent, draconian violations of law, which include the indefinite and arbitrary detention of battlefield detainees outside the standards of the Geneva Convention; military tribunals to try suspected terrorists; and the possible use of torture to obtain information.
		Bill would have led the fight against the massive arrest and interrogation of immigrants; against the passage of legislation granting intelligence and law enforcement agencies much broader powers to intrude into the private lives of U.S. citizens.
		Another provision of the new bill makes it a crime for a person to fail to notify the FBI if he or she has "reasonable grounds to believe" that someone is about to commit a terrorist offense.

	Remembering William Kunstler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		I hope Bill's essence isn't lost in his beatification, for he was not a saint of piety, his holiness was antic and ironic, with perhaps a measure of dark surrealism tossed in for spice.
		The last time I spoke with Bill was a couple of weeks before his death.
		Bill was all this stuffed into one bursting bag of energetic irrepressibility.

	Bill Totten's Weblog: May 2005
		But Kunstler says his tome is no mere story: He believes we are barreling toward the end of civilization as we know it, and it's probably too late to do much about it.
		Kunstler thinks we're toast, and boldly predicts we'll have to return to concentrated towns surrounded by intensive local agriculture (minus petro-fertilizers); no more sushi, or tomatoes in January.
		The project of corporate globalisation is a project for polarising and dividing people - along the axis of class and economic inequality, the axis of religion and culture, the axis of gender and the axis of geographies and regions.

	Attorney William Kunstler biography
		Kunstler did not do the trial, but the trial lawyer was inexperienced and didn’t even look at the so-called plans that were transferred.
		Attorney William Highs directed Kunstler to use the miracle statute, the federal removal statute that forced the federal courts to accept criminal cases from the state courts when it was alleged that the defendants could not get fair trials in the state courts and also required the federal courts to set bail.
