Arabic T-Shirt Incident Prompts Rights Lawsuit

Submitted by Al Blutenhalbmond, Aug 10, 2007 18:13

It is indeed ironic that the Arabic script on the offending T-shirt should have been one of the historic rallying cries against fascism: "We shall Not be Silenced", and certainly most appropriate that the authorities should have resented it before even knowing what it actually said. Is this what Mr. Chertoff's famous' gut feeling is all about? An intuitive feelings that can sense out the outrage against the oncoming tyranny and totalitarianism? Some psychic power that can probe into crannies and crevices where liberty still lives, an uncanny ability to ferret out the feared freedom's whispered yearnings?
