Jailed U.S. Journalist Barrett Brown Has Sentencing Postponed 
--------------------------------------------------------------


 
In the United States, the jailed journalist and activist Barrett Brown
has had his sentencing postponed until January 22 following a hearing
Tuesday. Brown faces up to eight-and-a-half years in prison on charges
related to the hacking of the private intelligence firm Stratfor, which
exposed how the firm spied on activists on behalf of corporations. Brown
originally faced 100 years in prison before pleading guilty to lesser
charges.
