Arrested Dissent
A Colorado man who was arrested back in June has sued the Secret Service agent who arrested him. So what was his crime?
Voicing his disapproval of the Iraq war to the Vice President. This of course is a big no-no, but apparently the man was under the impression this was still a free country. His mistake.
But it kinda makes you wonder: in light of the new detainee legislation awaiting the President's John Hancock, we will even hear about the next person who makes the same mistake of thinking they are free to exercise their First Amendment rights?
