On April 21st, charges against Kurtz were finally dismissed.

From the Herald Tribune:

"U.S. District Judge Richard Arcara ruled that a mail and wire fraud indictment brought nearly four years ago against Steven Kurtz, a University at Buffalo professor, was "insufficient on its face."

This is what one gets for signing away one's rights through Patriot Act and the like.

I hope the case against Kurtz is finally dropped.

It would be ludicrous if it wasn't so scary.

The fact that they have not withdrawn the charges yet will bring more attention to Steve's plight and the injustice of this case. Of course, I do recognize that bio-engineered foods are a way off controling the population, by big agro-business too. Maybe the feds. should be looking at them instead of art exhibitions. The role of the artist is to reflect what is happening in our world today.

It is because of scientifically ignorant morons like you that Steve Kurtz got arrested in the first place.

is this guy christina aguilera's old shitty manager?

[Steve Kudlak]

I had corresponded with steve during the startup of all this awfulness; I was trained as a biologist and I could see that he had done nothing wrong; Problem is the feds never like to admit they have blown anything and got it wrong and so will go on spending our tax dollars to pusnish the innocent..

This how Nazi Germany started, persecuting groups or individuals for activities that may bevaguely perceived as threats to the State.

That Patriot Act has so screwed you guys.

Kurtz is an ivory trader, sent by a shadowy Belgian company into the heart of the Congo Free State. With the help of his superior technology, Kurtz has turned himself into a charismatic demigod of all the tribes surrounding his station, and gathered vast quantities of ivory in this way. As a result, his name is known throughout the region. The general manager of the company's Congo operation is jealous of Kurtz, and plots his downfall.

Are you scared of what our country has become? They can now arrest artists for trying to expose genetic mutation of fruits and vegetables by big pharma and Monsanto?

Ron Paul is the only presidential candidate to vote against the Patriot Act, National ID and regulating the Internet. He's our last chance.
