In case you haven't heard about this already, the 2010 Olympic thought police detained and interrogated Democracy Now's Amy Goodman as she attempted to enter Canada last Thursday en route to her talk in Victoria. "Goodman said her car was searched and the officials demanded to look at her notes and her computer..."I am deeply concerned that as a journalist I would be flagged and that the concern – the major concern – was the content of my speech," said Goodman."
