[thechat] ARTISTS SUBPOENAED IN USA PATRIOT ACT CASE

[Sabrina Dent, Apperception]

The world's gone mad:

"Steve Kurtz was already suffering from one tragedy when he called 911
early in the morning to tell them his wife had suffered a cardiac arrest
and died in her sleep. The police arrived and, cranked up on the
rhetoric of the "War on Terror," decided Kurtz's art supplies were
actually bioterrorism weapons. 

"Thus began an Orwellian stream of events in which FBI agents abducted
Kurtz without charges, sealed off his entire block, and confiscated his
computers, manuscripts, art supplies... and even his wife's body."

It seriously gets worse from there, if you can beleive it :(
