Good Morning America: The Knock on the Door for Peace Activists

Orwell has come to the States. This is a surreally appalling video of two FBI officials questioning a peace activist about nothing she has done but about "what might happen". Land of the free?

  1. Well I'm mostly steering clear of the Israeli/Palestinian issue, since there is so much spin from both sides, but: last time I watched this video there wasn't a child singing "lalala" in the background, so what is this about all of a sudden? And why did the gentleman keep bugging the lady as to why she didn't want to answer the question, when she just clearly stated she wanted to take the 5th? I just explained to my 6 year old why we celebrate the 4th of July and how in this country (as opposed to other countries) the government can't arbitrarily do bad things to you or harrass you. Strange.

    Thanks,

  2. Sorry ... the background music came from another page my son had left open :-) The rest stands.

    Thanks,
