Criticize Bush, get investigated for sedition
Veterans Administration nurse who showed up for work one day to find
government agents waiting for her.
The American Civil Liberties Union of New Mexico wants the
government to apologize to a nurse for seizing her computer and
investigating her for "sedition" after she criticized the Bush
administration.

Her crime?
Berg, a clinical nurse specialist, wrote a letter in September to
a weekly Albuquerque newspaper criticizing how the administration
handled Hurricane Katrina and the Iraq War. She urged people to "act
forcefully" to remove an administration she said played games of
"vicious deceit."
The message is clear: If you are a government employee and you dare to
criticize Dear Leader, you will be well and truly f**ked.
(Wikipedia, by the way, has this to say about sedition: "The term is
deprecated in most countries, though equivalent language may still be
in use in totalitarian and fascist jurisdictions.")
