Attempts to suppress protesters become more disturbing in light of the
Homeland Security Department's recommendation that local police
departments view critics of the war on terrorism as potential
terrorists. In a May terrorist advisory, the Homeland Security
Department warned local law enforcement agencies to keep an eye on
anyone who "expressed dislike of attitudes and decisions of the U.S.
government." If police vigorously followed this advice, millions of
Americans could be added to the official lists of suspected terrorists.
