Somehow, I have the feeling that if the subject were: guns, wetlands, spotted owls, "homophobia" or any of a number of left-wing causes, the Portland Police Dept. would be front and center in the investigation into "suspicious activity." Somehow, I have the feeling if this artocle was about Janet Reno instead of Ashcroft we would have a Freeper stampede condeming the actions of the Fed gov't.
