Republicans in Congress banned news cameras from the hearings of the effects on civil liberties of the proposed anti-terrorism legislation after Ashcroft's commentary. Why??? |
Please read and scroll down to the middle of the following link:

Congress BANNED all news cameras INCLUDING Cspan when people speaking on the impacts of civil liberties were up to bat. The entire story focused on Ashcroft's pro-wiretapping/detainment/warrantless searches commentaries, and were prohibited from airing any commentary against it!
This is a very slippery slope - all of those concerned about civil liberties and justice need to stop arguing, and start taking ACTION- calling, protests, anything.
This is not speculation, this is *the* police state in America that is about to be pushed through! |
