THE PELTIER EQUATION:

FBI Misconduct
+ A Politically Motivated Prosecution by US Attorneys
------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- ------
A Wrongful Conviction
************ ********* ********* ********* ******

Previously released documents showed repeated instances of FBI
misconduct and forced the government prosecutor to admit that the
government does not know who shot their agents over 30 years ago. The
remaining documents may contain new evidence that will exonerate Mr.
Peltier and reveal further proof of misconduct by the FBI and/or U.S.
Attorneys. Such information may allow Mr. Peltier's attorneys to file
additional appeals and may ultimately lead to Leonard's release from
prison.

Legal expenses will be incurred for this appeal and other legal
strategies currently underway. One such expense? Cost recovery fees.
As mandated by the "Reinventing Government" initiative of the 1990s,
all federal government agencies charge a reproduction fee - currently
$0.10 per page. Therefore, any of the tens of thousands of documents
released by the FBI by order of the courts will come at a cost.

Do the math. The following is a listing of the number of pages still
withheld by FBI field offices, by State:

Alabama - 600; Alaska - 80; Arizona - 1,268; Arkansas - 200;
California - 9,273; Colorado - 2,671; District of Columbia - 1,000;
Florida - 530; Georgia - 535; Hawaii - 410; Illinois - 2,899; Indiana
- 275; Kentucky - 20; Maryland - 30; Massachusetts - 1,088; Michigan -
40; Minnesota - 90,000 (Update: 77,149 pages were reviewed; 66,594
pages, in full or in part, were released and 10,555 pages are still
being withheld in their entirety; and nearly 11,000 pages of documents
are yet to be reviewed); Mississippi - 350; Missouri - 2,451; Nebraska
- 2,861; Nevada - 954; New Mexico - 3,550; New York - 64+ (the NYC
Field Office claims its file is "missing"); North Carolina - 50; Ohio
- 730; Oklahoma - 2,075; Oregon - 15,264; Pennsylvania - 865; Puerto
Rico - 200; South Carolina - 200; Tennessee - 621; Texas - 1,114; Utah
- 1,500; Virginia - 482; Washington - 3,200; and Wisconsin - 9,654.

Or a total of 91,249 (or more) documents @ $0.10 each for
reproduction. *$9,124.90 !!!*
