Is it safe to discuss politics in America on a BB?

Tell that to the Koreans.

U.S. opposes release

ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) -- Saying that John Walker Lindh repeatedly expressed "hostility towards his country," federal prosecutors filed court papers Wednesday arguing against his release pending trial.

Shortly after Lindh was driven to the courthouse from the city jail under heavy security, the U.S. Justice Department filed a motion citing a number of e-mails written by the 20-year-old U.S.-Taliban figure accused in a federal indictment of conspiring to kill Americans.

In the motion, the government cited among other things a Sept. 28, 1998, letter that Lindh wrote his mother suggesting that the bombings of U.S. embassies in Africa "seemed far more likely to have been carried out by the American government than by the Muslims."

In its 11-page filing, the government also cited an e-mail that Lindh sent his mother on Feb. 15, 2000, suggesting that she should move to England.

"I really don't know what your big attachment to America is all about. What has America ever done for anybody?" it said.

In a June 24, 2000, e-mail, the motion asserts, Lindh told members of his family that it was the United States which incited the Gulf War and that Saddam Hussein was "heavily encouraged" by an American official to invade Kuwait.

In a Dec. 3, 2000 e-mail to his mother, the memorandum said, Lindh referred to the president (George W. Bush) as "your new president" and adds: "I'm glad he's not mine."

Lindh broke off contact with his family in late April 2001.

Just curious - what is the wording of your "freedom of speech" bit?
Be careful not to express hostility toward America and use email to incite your mothers and families against America or GWB personally. Have a nice country.
