Man Arrested For Telling Cheney Your Policies In Iraq Are Reprehensible Files Lawsuit...
Arrest over Cheney barb triggers lawsuit By Charlie Brennan, Rocky Mountain News October 3, 2006 A Denver-area man filed a lawsuit today against a member of the Secret Service for causing him to be arrested after he approached Vice President Dick Cheney in Beaver Creek this summer and criticized him for his policies concerning Iraq. Attorney David Lane said that on June 16, Steve Howards was walking his 7-year-old son to a piano practice, when he saw Cheney surrounded by a group of people in an outdoor mall area, shaking hands and posing for pictures with several people. According to the lawsuit filed at U.S. District Court in Denver, Howards and his son walked to about two-to-three feet from where Cheney was standing, and said to the vice president, "I think your policies in Iraq are reprehensible," or words to that effect, then walked on. Ten minutes later, according to Howards' lawsuit, he and his son were walking back through the same area, when they were approached by Secret Service agent Virgil D. "Gus" Reichle Jr., who asked Howards if he had "assaulted" the vice president. Howards denied doing so, but was nonetheless placed in handcuffs and taken to the Eagle County Jail. The lawsuit states that the Secret Service agent instructed that Howards should be issued a summons for harassment, but that on July 6 the Eagle County District Attorney's Office dismissed all charges against Howards. The lawsuit filed today alleges that Howards was arrested in retaliation for having exercised his First Amendment right of free speech, and that his arrest violated his Fourth Amendment protection against unlawful seizure. http://www.rockymountainnews.com/drmn/loca...5039230,00.html |

It is a charade,& - Ron Paul, Sept 2008. ------------------ We're in a lot of trouble, watch this - http://www.youtube.com/v/3L3QVn4JyYA ------------------ ![[Image: guns250x200dw9.jpg]](http://img166.imageshack.us/img166/7726/guns250x200dw9.jpg) ![[Image: armiw4.gif]](http://img181.imageshack.us/img181/4767/armiw4.gif) ------------------ You cannot tax someone's labor because that is slavery - Ed Brown, June 18 2007 ------------------ The world's &freeest& country has the highest number in prison. - arundhati roy ------------------ The crisis of modern democracy is a profound one. Free elections, a free press and an independent judiciary mean little when the free market has reduced them to commodities available on sale to the highest bidder. - arundhati roy ------------------ The era of manufacturing consent has given way to the era of manufacturing news. Soon media newsrooms will drop the pretense, and start hiring theater directors instead of journalists. - arundhati roy ------------------ The structure of capitalism is flawed. The motor that powers it cannot but vastly increase the disparity between the poor and the rich globally and within countries as well. Parecon is a brave argument for replacing that flawed machine and offers a much needed -- more equitable, democratic, participatory -- alternative economic vision. - arundhati roy ------------------ [The choice between John Kerry and George Bush] is not a real choice. It's an apparent choice. Like choosing a brand of detergent. Whether you buy Ivory Snow or Tide, they're both owned by Proctor & Gamble. - arundhati roy ------------------ No government's condemnation of terrorism is credible if it cannot show itself to be open to change by nonviolent dissent - arundhati roy ![[Image: sigterrorgj3.jpg]](http://img150.imageshack.us/img150/1371/sigterrorgj3.jpg) ------------------ Dr. Hermann Oberth who pioneered rocket design for the German Reich during World War II and later advanced rocket technology for the American manned space launches, cryptically stated: "We cannot take the credit for our record advancement in certain scientific fields alone; we have been helped." When asked by whom, he replied: "The people of other worlds." |
