HBO: Soldiers in the Army of God...Operation Rescue
From the NARAL newsletter:

"With the recent nomination of Judge John Roberts to the Supreme Court, we in the pro-life movement now have an unprecedented opportunity to finally restore moral sanity in America. How? Through a 'peaceful coup' in the Supreme Court, which would lead to the eventual overturn of Roe v. Wade."
– Operation Rescue


"Why would the violent protestors known as Operation Rescue support John Roberts to the Supreme Court?

Probably because John Roberts went out of his way to put our government on the same side as Operation Rescue and other anti-choice extremists, among them the notorious convicted bomber of women's health clinics, Michael Bray.

In 1990, John Roberts, then Deputy Solicitor General for the first President Bush, filed an amicus or "friend of the court" brief in Bray v. Alexandria Women's Health Clinic on behalf of the United States in support of convicted clinic bomber Michel Bray, the notorious Operation Rescue, and five other individuals who routinely used "military-style tactics" and other forms of intimidation to block access to reproductive health care clinics.
Bray vs Alexandria Women's Health Clinic

Now you can get an inside look at the type of people Roberts actively defended by watching HBO's excellent documentary about Bray and his organization "Soldiers in the Army of God: America Undercover." Originally released in 2001, "Soldiers in the Army of God" provides a horrifying inside look at the extremist faction of the anti-choice movement that seeks to end abortion through terrorism and murder."

2. Search is not working. If you posted first, I am sorry.
I did a search on the term HBO, but I just got an error message. Since this is on page 2 already, I guess yours was first.

Search has not worked all day today.

5. No hard feelings...
just so word gets out.

It's not like I work for Faux News, and have to report the Pope's dead when he isn't. ;)
