On CNET.com: WikiLeaks volunteer hires lawyers in Twitter fight<\/a> over subpoenas for the Twitter account.<\/p>\n

An ex-WikiLeaks volunteer has hired American lawyers to oppose the U.S. government’s efforts to obtain the contents of her Twitter account, CNET has learned.<\/p>\n

Birgitta J\u00f3nsd\u00f3ttir, a member of the Icelandic parliament who helped with WikiLeaks’ release of a classified U.S. military video, is being represented by the San Francisco-based Electronic Frontier Foundation.<\/p>\n

“We’re looking at options and various things we can do to help our client,” EFF legal director Cindy Cohn said yesterday. “She’s disturbed that her information is being sought.”<\/p>\n

On Friday, Twitter notified J\u00f3nsd\u00f3ttir and a handful of other subscribers that the U.S. Justice Department had obtained a court order for their “subscriber account information.” The order covers possible accounts linked to WikiLeaks, including those of Bradley Manning, the U.S. Army private accused of leaking classified documents; Seattle-based WikiLeaks volunteer Jacob Appelbaum; Dutch hacker and XS4ALL Internet provider co-founder Rop Gonggrijp; and WikiLeaks editor Julian Assange.<\/p>\n

Cohn said the EFF was representing only J\u00f3nsd\u00f3ttir and not any of the other targets of the order<\/a> (PDF), which was signed by U.S. Magistrate Judge Theresa Buchanan in Alexandria, Va. “They all have separate stories,” she said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Read more here<\/a>. The order, linked in the quote, is here<\/a> and out of the Eastern District of Virginia dated December 14, 2010. It has a Grand Jury case number so the supporting documentation is not yet public. The person subpoenaed apparently released it. <\/p>\n

The important information is the case number: A U.S. grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia is investigating WikiLeaks.<\/p>\n

Order to unseal his here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
