Public dissent leads to arrest

Charges were ultimately dropped, but a Golden, Colorado man was arrested for telling Cheney his Iraq policies are "reprehensible."

Thank goodness we have a system of checks and balances in this country, where the executive branch doesn't have a blank check to imprison and/or torture folks it deems terrorist sympathisers and lock them up indefinitely without access to lawyers or even having charges filed against them.

Oops, sorry. I wrote that last graf before last week's anti-terrorism bill.
