More outrage in the Land of the Free

Bob has a letter from some people who were harrassed by police and run out of town for attempting to picket a Ford plant.

This is nothing new, but it is still outrageous and illegal and should not be tolerated in this country.

I've got a couple earlier posts with similar themes. One on a lawsuit filed against "free speech zones". And another with a link to a film where a man standing with a group of peaceful protesters alongside a road Cheney was to be traveling was put in a police car and later released. Listen to the b.s. the police are telling the protesters in that video.

Meanwhile, the pre-war intelligence investigation committee is getting a pretty outrageous dose as well. Cancel the investigation!

Angry about a leaked Democratic memo, the Republican leadership of the Senate yesterday took the unusual step of canceling all business of the committee investigating prewar intelligence on Iraq.

Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.) called on the author of the memo -- which laid out a possible Democratic strategy to extend the investigation to include the White House and executive branch -- to "identify himself or herself . . . disavow this partisan attack in its entirety" and deliver "a personal apology" to Sen. Pat Roberts (R-Kan.), chairman of the Select Committee on Intelligence.

And maybe we can cancel any further action by the White House until the Valerie Plame leaker does the same.

Perhaps, just like what George WTF Bush claims is happening in Iraq, the more progress we make, the more desperate the anti-freedom forces in our country become.
