I just returned from visiting my sister in North Carolina. She's an 18 year veteran of the Marines, worked her way through the enlisted ranks and is now an officer. Coming from a family long in distinguished military service, not to mention the ongoing challenges of being a female Marine, I'm very proud of her.

Hi everyone, and welcome to our post-9/11 police state.

I'm really troubled by two recent examples of the accepted methods of law enforcement and the way the media reports on them.

Example #1:
The guy at the Kerry political talk who got tazered: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvrWt_dHAT4

Example #2:
The MIT student who was arrested today at Boston's Logan airport as a terrorism suspect: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070921/ap_on_re_us/fake_bomb

I guess it is video week here at CivicActions... Visit ImpeachGonzales.org.

A video of the Guantamo Bay prisoner, Adel Hamad, may have had an impact on his pending release, according to this article at Law.com.

The power of the Internet, most people would agree, is awesome, but has it done what the federal courts may no longer have jurisdiction to do-helped to free a possibly innocent man held at Guantánamo Bay?
