You're right, pugsley, Thompson gets put on the no-fly list (making it difficult for him to continue making his living by ranting), then gets a National Security Letter from the FBI, then goes all soft. Too weird.<br><br>From Doug in early March:<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.capitolhillblue.com/blog/2006/03/bush_declares_war_on_freedom_o.html">www.capitolhillblue.com/b...dom_o.html</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br><!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>"....."This flamboyant use of the forces of criminal prosecution to threaten whistle-blowers and intimidate journalists are nothing more than the naked tactics of street thugs and authoritarian juntas."<br><br>Just how widespread, and uncontrolled, this latest government assault has become hit close to home last week when one of the FBI's National Security Letters arrived at the company that hosts the servers for this web site, Capitol Hill Blue.<br><br>The letter apparently demanded traffic data, payment records and other information about the web site along with information on me, the publisher.<br><br>Now that's a problem. I own the company that hosts Capitol Hill Blue. So, in effect, the feds want me to turn over information on myself and not tell myself that I'm doing it. You'd think they'd know better.<br><br>I told the company to send the letter over to my lawyer and then told him to send the following message to the feds:<br><br>Fuck you. Strong letter to follow.<hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END-->....."<br><br> <p></p><i></i>
