Of course seeing this zone up close and in person it is an ominous little place- a gravel lot surrounded by fence, barbed wire ,and underneath green metal train tracks. There is only one entrance and exit, room for only 1,000 people ( out of an estimated 10,000 potential protesters!) and no bathrooms inside the zone at all.

Tsk Tsk Chewbacca, I'm very disappointed with you. When the incidents involved protestors against Bush, it was all the fault of Bush and his Admin, but now that the shoe is on the other foot, the Dem's have nothing to do with it?!?! You never seemed very willing to accept the explanation before that the Secret Service was the one that set up the "Free Speech Zones". If I recall, you pointed out that the Secret Service works for Bush, so it was naive' (at best) to think thier actions were taken without his knowledge. Do you honostly think the DNC organizers had NO knowledge of this "Free Speech Zone"?? [img]graemlins/wow.gif[/img]
Well, even if you still want to blame the Bush-Admin-run Secret Service, you now have to admit that at least Boy George is being fair and equal in his application of the policy. Or do you now agree that "Free Speech Zones" have been standard procedure established and enforced by the Secret Service for the last several Administrations?
