Rocker's Hard Drive Detained by Homeland Security

I like the part about "Nazi America"
Certainly is headed in that direction.
I'm just an old wore out Nam Vet, but if they try and move in on me personally, it will be sadness.
What scares the hell out me is that I think that in large, the American people now days are just too damn lazy to do anything about it. The left is well on he way, by slowly taking our freedoms away from us. AND THE SHEEP WILL FOLLOW
Dept of Homeland Seurity is there to make sure the all the SHEEP stay inline.

Homeland Security,CIA,FBI ect use a keyword list
when checking emails. Something said in jest could put you in a world of s--t. So be careful
what you say.

am i the only one that sees this coming. soon homeland security will be able to simply walk up and take anything you have (including your free or life) and there will be nothing anyone can do about it. after that it won't even be legal to talk about it. welcome to nazi america.

kd, mn64: you have drunk the kool-aid. it's obvious. yes we all have a right to our opinion even if it is stupid, careless or not at all based in reality. know anything about history? oh, say almost 70 years ago a bunch of "true patriots" decided that their country, culture and land were being abused. so they decided to take over the country. as time went on, nearly EVERYTHING became illegal and they made up lies about other countries threatening their "freedoms" and were about to be attacked. so they attacked those places and the world objected. well, they went after artists, intellectuals, scholars, scientist, people of faith, folks who "looked different". guess what? eventually, everybody questioned everybody else's patriotism. sure take everyone's rights away in the name of our fair country. love it or leave it. right? morons. soon they will come after YOU. sleep tight!

To KD, Cat Stevens has never been proven in any way to have aided terrorists. He was denied entrance to the USA but no eveidence was ever offered. Be careful when you buy into propaganda, perhaps doing your own research would have kept you from making an uninformed statement.

ATLEAST we got rid of Cat Stevens! Long ago, I liked him. NOW he wants us to buy his so-called music so he can help fund the terrorists

What does this possibly have to do with George Bush. The author of this article is a moron who can't keep his political bias out of some story that has absolutely NOTHING to do with politics. I don't support Bush either, but I am so tired of hard-core liberal trying to turn anything into a political statement.

Another glib, impossible-to-read, information fluff piece by David Sprague. The New York Times this is not. On adolescent blogs, I suppose typing is its own best justification.

This story would have been better if it had told why the computer was confiscated. Was there more on the hard drive than music (the story sort of suggests that's all there was)? Is there something else involved here? C'mon. Give us the whole scoop!

Did I miss something... was the seizure of his equipment political in nature or was a law violated? Sounds to me like his stuff was seized based on his views. If so, that's a very dangerous line for DHS to cross. But sounds like that line has already been crossed and sanctioned by our leadership. Sad.
