I have reported extensively on the SHAC 7 trial. Their indictment was under the Animal Enterprise Protection Act, not the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act, which was expanded after they were convicted.

[...] Scott DeMuth, a Minneapolis activist, has been indicted for conspiracy to violate theAnimal Enterprise Terrorism Act, apparently in relation to a 2004 Animal Liberation Front raid at the University of Iowa. He faces up to 5 years in prison. His indictment marks a continued expansion of the scope of the new terrorism law, which has already been used to target activists who release mink from fur farms, and the AETA4, who are accused of protesting and chalking on public sidewalks.

This is not the America I knew before 911. This is a different America with different rules and laws that don’t reflect the laws of the U.S. Constitution. So, what’s the point of freedom of speech in a free country if people can’t blog their opinions on the internet? What’s the point of protesting in a free country; speaking out and expressing one’s opinion in a free country if every thing Americans seem to do or say anymore is a “terrorist” crime for Americans, but Americans aren’t suppose to call the 911 jailed “detainees” – terrorists – but “detainees,” I believe – I call them guests of the U.S. who the U.S. taxpayers must pay for their legal fees while the U.S. natural born citizens are being criminalized for speaking out protesting and told to get their own lawyers with their own money. I feel as if I fell asleep and I was high jacked by aliens from another planet and transported to a foreign land when I read these articles.
