'I'm a freedom fighter', says Conrad Black

From the Telegraph group's new troubles (see posting below) to its old ones. Former owner Conrad Black says, in a TV interview due to be aired on Monday in Canada, that he is a "freedom fighter" who has not committed any crime. "There will be absolutely no discussion of any plea bargain", he says. Black, who is charged with skimming millions of dollars and misusing company perks while heading Chicago-based Hollinger International, says: "I have settled into my new life as a freedom fighter... it's quite stimulating, in a way, but it is an ordeal."
