[Seattle-editorial] Police arrest LEIU organizers as terrorists

[Brandon Faloona]

I forgot to include Gentry's newswire article in my previous email. I have
included it below, and please see http://portland.indymedia.org/

With so many developments occuring so fast I think we should consider
another LEIU feature. 

I've uploaded these 5 ogg vorbis audio files from Tuesday's 11am press
conference.

LEIU Protestors arrested as Terrorist Suspects 

by Gentry 2:23pm Tue Jun 3 '03

Several members of the LEIU welcoming committee have been arrested today for
tresspassing on private property. Allegedly, the police on the scene advised
the suspects that they would be warned and released. However, once the
police ran these individuals' names through the police database the FBI were
called in as the names came back as possible terrorist suspects. This should
be a wake up call to anyone in Seattle, or in the US, if you engage in
protests, civil disobedience, or particularly anti-LEIU activities, the
government now considers you a potential "terrorist" threat. 

As a member of the IMC collective, I have long suspected my name is already
on these lists... however, now that my friends have been arrested my
suspicions have been confirmed. So be warned, Big Brother is watching. 

Anyone with additional information please post it hear, more information
will be added as available. Also, please feel free to contact the Seattle
IMC with additional information.
