Declan; Why haven't you found out yet what happened to Jim Bell? Certainly you could ask questions of Portland PD, whatever, or his mom, find out what they've done with him. This is certainly a newsworthy item. Squelching free speech by terrorizing dissedents is what it's all about.

And where is John Young? His last post I can find was on 11/2. Nothing since about the time the Bell raid happened. (And his posting statistics were fairly uniform prior to this: a post or two every day, with very few long gaps.) I was only half-joking that maybe Bell's and Young's work on tracing down those CIA safe houses in Bend, Oregon were getting him in trouble. John, say it ain't so. --Tim May -- ---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---- Timothy C.
