I thought this was an interesting press release from Larry Klayman.

Larry Klayman's 'Freedom Watch' Retains TransMedia Group to Publicize Its Fight Against OPEC's 'Economic Terrorism,' Radical Islam and Troublemakers Like Hugo Chavez

The prominent public interest group Freedom Watch founded by Miami attorney Larry Klayman has retained Florida-based public relations firm TransMedia Group to publicize its fight against the economic terrorism of OPEC, radical Islam, the hegemony of hostile Middle East states and tyrants like Hugo Chavez.

"Our coming together with TransMedia Group is truly epic and ironic," said Klayman, a former U.S. Department of Justice Antitrust Division prosecutor who helped break-up AT&T in the early 1980s when TransMedia was AT&T's PR firm (http://www.transmediagroup.com/).

"I was on one side of the divestiture issue that would eventually change the telecommunications landscape in America and ironically TransMedia Group was on the other side, booking then AT&T CEO Charley Brown on all the top network television programs," said Klayman. TransMedia founder Thomas J. Madden was #2-ranked executive at NBC before starting the PR firm, which today serves clients worldwide.

"We're honored to represent such a tireless defender of free and open markets and such a great champion for free speech and corruption-free government as Larry Klayman," Madden said.

Recently, Klayman's Freedom Watch has filed an antitrust lawsuit alleging price fixing, market division and other unlawful anticompetitive restraints on trade by OPEC, comprising such members as Hugo Chavez's Venezuela and Arab states on the U.S. State Department's list of certified terrorist nations. With Congress and the administration doing nothing about the oil crisis, this lawsuit is at the forefront of efforts to lower gasoline prices.

"In addition, we will help to make it more widely understood how these nation states are cleverly using the 'economic' weapon to influence the 2008 American presidential and congressional elections," Madden said.

Klayman also is the founder of "Judicial Watch," which earned its reputation in the 1990s for lawsuits that allowed the group to depose several Clinton officials. Largely out of the news since Klayman left Judicial Watch, Klayman has filed a lawsuit against it, Madden said, quoting the Washington Post's observation.

After fighting government and legal corruption under Judicial Watch, Klayman left the public interest watchdog in 2003 to run for the US Senate. Klayman has filed a lawsuit that if successful will enable him to retake control of the organization alongside Freedom Watch, through which Klayman vows to bring corrupt politicians, lawyers and judges to justice.
