The BP/Government police state
The BP/Government police state :: www.uruknet.info :: informazione dal medio oriente :: information from middle east :: [vs-5]: "Last week, I interviewed Mother Jones' Mac McClelland, who has been covering the BP oil spill in the Gulf since the first day it happened. She detailed how local police and federal officials work with BP to harass, impede, interrogate and even detain journalists who are covering the impact of the spill and the clean-up efforts. She documented one incident which was particularly chilling of an activist who -- after being told by a local police officer to stop filming a BP facility because 'BP didn't want him filming' -- was then pulled over after he left by that officer so he could be interrogated by a BP security official.
