U.S. Goverment Responds to EFF's Indymedia Motion

Posted by samzenpus on from the again-and-again dept.

bergwitz writes "In a response to EFF's motion to unseal, the U.S. government claims that Indymedia hard drives were seized as part of an international "criminal terrorism investigation," and thus the U.S. District Court's gag order should be upheld." This will help refresh your memory.

    You deserve it for being passive to such a horrible government. You deserve it for selling out your children through your greed. Every american knows that they agreed to this injustice due to their inactivity. Just wait for the day that they take you away.

    Sorry, my friend, it's 2004. Open-membership, non-profit egalitarian organizations are elitist, as are public broadcasting, science, college degrees, non-evangelical religions, being a Democrat, being gay, art of any kind, REI, Macintoshes (the CommieComputer), sushi and being a union member.

    Wake up and smell the Republican apocalypse.
    These folks won't stop until we're all living in Mayberry and our women are clothed appropriately...in burkas.

    Well, if you want my opinion: I don't care who it is, killing a man in a wheelchair using a missile fired from a helicopter is an act of cowardice. Doubly so in this case, since it killed innocent people as well. I don't see how Sharon can justify his actions: Yassin was responsible for the deaths of civilians, so they assassinated him, with a few extra civilians as an added bonus. Makes a lot of sense, doesn't it? It makes me wonder if their aim is not to suppress the actions of the extremist militant groups, but rather to terrorize the Palestinian people into submission.

    I never said I excuse Yassin because of his condition, but even the vilest criminal deserves a fair trial. I am merely condemning the lawless actions of the Israelis, which don't make them look so good, even when compared to the lawless actions of the Palestinians. Just as the Palestinian extremists wouldn't care about killing a Jewish baby, the Israeli extremists don't care how many Palestinian children they kill. It's horrifying, awful, and saddening, but what's new?

    Ask yourself this: even if a man is guilty, is it right to kill him without trial, without provocation, without immediate threat, and at the cost of innocent lives?
