Celebrate America - by questioning where it's headed |
|
snip Combs crossed a line during a demonstration against the school (renamed the Western Hemisphere Institute of Security Cooperation) that trains friendly Latin American military and police forces. He knew he might wind up in prison. That's the possible price of civil disobedience.
What the veteran peace activist didn't know was that he would spend eight days of his sentence in solitary confinement at the nearby Santa Rosa County Jail. His apparent offense: receiving and sharing with other inmates what federal authorities consider disruptive, if not subversive, political literature.
The offending "propaganda" included commentary by such extremists as Bill Moyers and Ellen Goodman, and included an article published in Reader's Digest. The common thread was that they all questioned the wisdom of government policy.
