FEDERAL GOVERNMENT INVOLVED IN RAIDS ON PROTESTORS
http://www.salon.com/opinion/greenwald/2008/08/31/raids/index.html
Glenn Greenwald: "Just review what happened yesterday and today. Homes of college-aid protesters were raided by rifle-wielding police forces. Journalists were forcibly detained at gun point. Lawyers on the scene to represent the detainees were handcuffed. Computers, laptops, journals, diaries, and political pamphlets were seized from people's homes. And all of this occurred against U.S. citizens, without a single act of violence having taken place, and nothing more serious than traffic blockage even alleged by authorities to have been planned."
( More from this article, including a message from one of the detainees. )
This is really happening.
Please pass it on.
