US Government Deals with Activist Groups Part 4

PressTV's Tina Richards discusses the US government's blacklisting of antiwar activists by circulating an FBI list of resisters who have been arrested for non violent civil disobedience, a misdemeanor offense in most cases, to other countries. Recently, Retired Army Colonel Ann Wright, who resigned her position in the State Department in protest prior to the US invasion of Iraq and Medea Benjamin, co-founder of Code Pink, were both refused admission into Canada by Canadian officials because Wright and Benjamin were on an FBI list of convicted criminals. The conversation includes David Remes, partner, Covington & Burling LLP, Medea Benjamin, Kate Martin, Dir. Center for National Security Studies and Shahid Butar, of the Washington Peace Center analyzing how the Bush administration is pressuring activists in an attempt to dampen the antiwar movement.

there wouldn't be any threat in new york where only one person knows relevant information. those scenarios only happen in bad tv shows and in useless hypotheticals. history, statistics, intelligence, reality have proven time and again that the government is more likely to threaten its own citizens than a bunch of guys in a cave (or even rich white-collar saudis in airplanes).

These are the enemies within, they worry more about those who would kill all of us then they do for their fellow Americans.
