A federal magistrate today ordered the release of October Martinique Lewis, one of the six Oregon defendants charged with being part of a terror cell.

The Magistrate Judge found that the Government failed to sufficiently establish that Lewis was either a flight risk or a danger to the community. It appears that the Government has requested a review hearing by a Federal Judge, which will be held Friday.

"Lawyers for the defendants and their relatives maintain that the government is overreaching and that the group -- all Muslims, five of them U.S. citizens -- wanted to work for or support humanitarian groups in Afghanistan."

"Today at Lewis's detainment hearing, prosecutors offered the magistrate some of their evidence, reading from e-mail messages sent between Lewis and Battle, whose own detainment hearing was postponed until Tuesday."

"The e-mails, however, were vague and their incriminating evidence in question. None of the e-mails specifically mentioned Afghanistan, bin Laden or the Taliban. Instead, the electronic correspondence referred to "you know who."

The Government has alleged that Lewis wired hundreds of dollars to her ex-husband overseas who was trying to enter Afganistan. We reported the details of the case here.

18 people have now been arrested on terrorism related charges in the past six weeks.
