The problem with this infiltration is that  they aren’t just seeking to disrupt crime, they are <A href="http://blog.aclu.org/2008/04/10/aclu-to-sf-wtf/">trying to stop the  protests altogether</A>. At the 2004 RNC convention in New York, the police cracked down on  political speech, protest, and dissent. The <A href="http://www.nyclu.org/rncdocs">NYCLU has tons of great documents</A> that  chronicle how the NYPD went about using fear over "terrorism" to  justify squashing free speech. This summer’s conventions, in Minneapolis  and Denver, are  shaping up to be a redux of the 2004 debacle — anyone else remember the <A href="http://www.aclu.org/freespeech/protest/11466prs20040722.html">"free  speech zone" cages</A>? —where the FBI used the guise of <A href="http://www.aclu.org/safefree/spyfiles/24011res20060131.html">Joint  Terrorism Task Forces</A> to suppress speech. </P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/4D567DB3-E6A1-42C7-9BD4-57F87B84EA07/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
