Answer the question, Tony. And please keep in mind, no one--NO

you all up in arms over that?

How about a credible cite for that?

Here's one:
<http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2006-07-23-bush-protesters_x.htm


Works for me. *I* find it outrageous!

"Authorities say they were arrested because they refused to obey reasonable security restrictions" would be far more credible if we had some idea what the "reasonable security restrictions" were. As it stands, all we have is the government saying "we were being reasonable" and The People saying "no, they weren't."

I tend to side with The People in cases like that. At least as a default until I get more information...
I tend to withhold judgment until I have better information, particularly when the LapDog media is doing the reporting.

Remember, if you will, the media reports coming from the World Trade meetings in Seattle when the socialist/anarchists tried to vandalize the town and the media said it was a "peaceful protest".

Hell, we witnessed the same thing at Copenhagen.
