Shake it fast…
.. but watch yourself.
And in other news, my old indymedia friends are up in arms over the latest example of the government abusing its powers to quell free speech. From the ACLU press release:
In a letter sent today in response to a grand jury subpoena issued by the Secret Service, the American Civil Liberties Union and the New York Civil Liberties Union said they are representing a web hosting service and administrators of an independent media website regarding the anonymous posting of publicly available information about delegates to the Republican National Convention. The groups said the investigation is but the latest example of government agencies using law enforcement powers to chill free speech and intimidate protesters. (…) Beeson added that the posting did not include anything remotely threatening, but involved political speech fully protected by the First Amendment.
Apparently, an anonymous poster put up a political screed (which is First-Amendment-protected speech, and then attached a list of the 2,200 Republican National Convention attendees. This information is public and freely available, not secret or a security leak. But looks like someone doesn’t like having a news source that they can’t control.
