  Anyone who was so naive as to think that terrorism laws would not be used against political troublemakers has no perspective of history ;-) We've known for some time (and it has been controversial on many sites I frequent on both left and right) that "terrorism" has been used to label groups believed to be radical by the government (i.e. those groups which threaten the bipartisan consensus. Environmental groups get added. Groups espousing local governance get added. But it is nothing new in this country. The words of Jack Warshaw, originally applying the experience of Americans to the Troubles in Northern Ireland are as true today as they ever have been: They say that here we are free To live our lives as we please To sing and to speak and to write So long as we do it alone But do it together With comrades united and strong And they'll take you away for long rest With walls and barbed wire for a home No time for love if they come in the morning No time to show tears or for fears in the morning No time for goodbye, no time to ask why And the sound of the sirens, the cry of the morning.
