 US: Kriegsgegner + Demonstranten = TerroristenDie Ursache der Demonstrationen, naemlich den Krieg gegen den Irak,
will natuerlich niemand antasten. Hauptsache, das Leben daheim bleibt
kuschelig und gemuetlich ("frighten people out of their daily routines").
Aber zivile Freiheiten, die kann man ja ruhig streichen.
Und dass sogar "brave" Dabeistehende, die nicht mal was blockieren,
auch gleich fuer 25(!) Jahre in den Bau wandern sollen, entspricht ja
sowieso dem Zeitgeist.-.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.-

 PORTLAND, Oregon (Reuters) - An Oregon anti-terrorism bill would jail
 street-blocking protesters for at least 25 years in a thinly veiled
 effort to discourage anti-war demonstrations, critics say.
 <...>
 Dubbed Senate Bill 742, it identifies a terrorist as a person who
 "plans or participates in an act that is intended, by at least one of
 its participants, to disrupt" business, transportation, schools,
 government, or free assembly.
 
 The bill's few public supporters say police need stronger laws to break
 up protests that have created havoc in cities like Portland, where
 thousands of people have marched and demonstrated against war in Iraq
 since last fall.
