Because no other journalist attended more than a few hours of the week-long “no-fly” trial earlier this month in San Francisco, my coverage of the trial has been relied on by many other commentators, from the New York Times (which linked to one of my articles from its editorial today about the case — nice to know that my readership includes members of the the Times’ editorial board) — to Boing Boing and Slashdot. Here’s a sampling of secondary and tertiary reports and comments from across the news Web and the blogosphere, which I’ll try to keep updated:
