Interview on 10 Zen Monkeys

Josh Wolf is a minor cause celebre in the USA. As a freelance-journalist/blogger/indymedista he had taken video of a lot of demonstrations. One particular demonstration saw the police subpoena a video tape from him in order to attempt to prosecute someone in a black bloc that allegedly assaulted a police officer. Josh refused and went to jail for longer than any other journalist in US history.

The interview contains Josh's thoughts about diversity of tactics, the right of anyone to be a journalist and his prison experiences. Well worth a read.
