[Peace-discuss] 2 kids in Oakland detained by Secret Service for criticizing Bush

[The Spirit of Seattle]

Hey all --
  I was looking through Tom Tomorrow's "This Modern World" and happened to 
find this news story that shocked and horrified me.  Especially the part where 
the 2 students that criticized Bush were told by the Secret Service...
"When one of the students asked, 'do we have to talk now? Can we be silent? 
Can we get legal council?' they were told, 'we own you, you don't have any 
legal rights."
