Oh yeah, our freedom.
I love this cartoon from Tom Toles. Seems particularly appropriate to share now, even though it is a bit old, after lawmakers caved to the FBI during Patriot Act reauthorization debates, and a court ruled the Bush administration and the NSA illegally wiretapped two attorneys.

I just came across a great cartoon by Stephanie McMillan on the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act. More of Stephanie’s work can be found on her website Minimum Security and on her blog.
The War on Terrorism has come home. Corporations and politicians are labeling activists "eco-terrorists" and national security threats. Think red-baiting, with a green twist. Here you'll find original reporting and analysis of the Green Scare, and history repeating itself.
