HOMELAND SECURITY: Here’s a guy who was never charged with a crime, but who lost his job because of a call from law enforcement telling his employer that he was on a Homeland Security memo naming suspicious persons.

Who will speak out against this resurgence of McCarthyism?

Georgia Bureau of Investigation special agent John Lang, who was assigned as a threat analyst to the Department of Homeland Security, saw the memo and decided making note of the information was not enough. He called the gun shop owner and told him about the memo concerning his employee. Wynn was fired.

Wynn, who has been mostly unemployed since he was laid off from Lucent Technologies in late 2001, did not know why he lost his job until last week when he was told by a reporter. He said he has never advocated violence against the police or government officials.

He was angry when he learned why he was fired. He said he “was done plain dirty and the system is still trying to set me up in order to make their blunders look as though they have some semblance of truth.”

Funny that we haven’t heard more about this case, while we’ve heard so many cries of “McCarthyism” when all that was involved was criticism of Tim Robbins.

You don’t think it’s all political, do you?
