Bushism lives (unfortunately).
Ian Freeman of the radio show 'Free Talk Live' is now facing hard time in New Hampshire all because he dares to oppose the failed War on Drugs.
The talk show host is being threatened with 90 days in prison just for writing about and attending a protest against the country's draconian drug laws. The official charge? He's being charged with "criminal liability for the conduct of another." This means he's actually being charged just for reporting about others' drug offenses.
That's like if they charged a newspaper just for having a police blotter column.
One is reminded of Dan Lungren's attempts to imprison people for making anti-DARE shirts.
When people are threatened with prison just for their views, it's not exactly a sign of freedom.
