Dear Log,
«Certainly Akil Sachveda is suffering. He is now a part-time pump attendant in Toronto. He used to own a petrol station, a bar and a pool hall in New Jersey, until one day the FBI came looking for an ex-employee who was a Muslim. The man had left but they arrested Sachveda instead on suspicion of Islamic terrorism, despite the fact he is a Hindu. He was held for five months and given no access to a lawyer. Prison guards threatened his life. Eventually he was deported to Canada. He was never charged, but he had lost everything.»Is there some insidious new Vedic menace that the FBI knows about that I don't?!? I better start eating more cow meat and saying bad things about the River Ganges just in case.
With, I'm sure, plenty of armed guards to protect him from the "citizens".The movement has become so powerful that Attorney General John Ashcroft has embarked on a nationwide tour to promote the Patriot Act.
Ordinary citizens don't need guns, as their having guns doesn't serve the State.
