PUTTING PROTESTERS IN A CAMP: Here’s what one convention blogger reports from Boston:
Rather than letting people protest near The Fleet Center, they are putting them in a camp….at least, that’s what it looks like. I walked through it this morning. The protester’s cage is about a block away, a maze of overhead netting, chain link fencing and razor wire will be the protesting area.
It’s more crushing of dissent!
UPDATE: More crushing of dissent here:
Organisers at the Democratic Party convention in United States have removed Aljazeera’s logotype banner from its skybox without assigning reasons. . . .
“We found that the banner disappeared for some reason,” Aljazeera’s Washington bureau chief Hafiz al-Mirazi said.
I blame John Ashcroft! Er, or did anyone see Sandy Berger hanging around, and think to check his pants?
