"Spying" on domestic terrorists has paid off big time. Recently in Flagstaff, AZ we've had the kiddie porn collecting Hitler-like "mastermind" of an arsonous ELF cell top himself in jail, plus one of his stooges out-on-bail, presumably after having ratted out a few former associates. One erstwhile ELF turns out to have been wearing a wire for a long time so there are a number of liberal pinks in Flagstaff and Prescott who are now spending their midnight hours mulling over the compromising remarks they spouted so bravely at cocktail parties. All in all, a good thing. Let them stew in their own bloodless weak vegan juices.

I read about that case and you're right. But I think not everyone who peacefully protests is exactly like the people you mentioned, though there are probably more people out there like the ones you mentioned.

I guess we are just in a period now where there will always be accusations from the side out of power that the other side is abusing its power in this wat on terror. And I do think it is important to preserve our rights as free citizens of this great country, but I also believe those rights do not include engaging in behavior reminiscent of say, Jane Fonda duering Vietname, or someone like that.

I think there is more attention being paid now to people who may, by design or by ignorance, be communicating with those who would do us harm, and, there has to be that. I read Christopher Hitchens' recent posts on a Dem site but I think he forgot that while his rights are certainly important, things are different now because of this different war we are fighting. And, it is different. There is no getting around that, no matter how hysterical some Dem sites get over these issues.
