In Violation of Civil Liberties, US Authorities make house arrests in middle of night


Violation of Civil Rights

This is one of the most blatant violations of workers rights I have ever seen. When the FBI and "terrorism experts"--is there a new uniform?--came at 3am to the apartment of these three Technicolor workers, what rights did the government have to do this. Locally the ADC--Arab American Anti-Discrimination League seems to be doing nothing, since they are not from the dominant Lebanese community, but rather from Morocco and Algeria. That is the way the FBI planned it. But after this first probe, they will next be carrying out orders directly from the Israeli secret service to "create their list of terrorists." I am so upset about this--it would have been more important for US citizens to hear what they have to say--the three arrested. In fact THAT is why they were arrested. I am even afraid to write to the papers because of this atmosphere of witch hunts the government has made.
