A D.C. federal judge has dismissed a retaliation action filed by Jesselyn A. Radack, the former government lawyer who advised the FBI not to question "American Taliban" John Walker Lindh without his lawyer after his capture. Radack passed information to the media after she had left the DOJ when she suspected that the government had acted illegally, and then accused the DOJ of violating the Administrative Procedure Act when it later referred her alleged misconduct to Maryland and D.C. bar counsel.
