You gotta love these debates-- they start off on one thread and sometimes wander aimlessly around-- or apparently so. I'm always inspired by the folks who take a discussion and turn it into a personal attack without adding anything to the discussion but the sound of their teeth rattling.

Since this thread started around the article about a photographer attempting to shoot pix of a federal facility, I wonder which of his rights were violated? What Gestapo tactics were used? I didn't see anything that would cause my Bill of Rights radar to go off, so what is inspiring the tirade?

Could it be partisan bickering inspired by the upcoming election?

I really like Dave's tag line: "When the judgement's weak, the prejudice is strong." It applies in so many ways. I'd only wished I'd seen it first.
