Police Raid Houses of Suspected RNC Protestors

I read this article and was extremely disheartened.  Apparently police in Minneapolis have been conducting paramilitary-style raids on houses of people suspected of planning to protest at the upcoming RNC.  They haven’t been showing warrants, and have been stealing computers and paperwork and generally intimidating everyone they can.  I also read earlier that Bush has been quietly working on a bill that includes some language that will extend the war on terror “indefinitely,” allowing for more of these human rights violations and similar atrocities.  To anyone who plans to exercise their right to free speech and peaceful protest, I recommend that you stay informed and be careful out there!
