7. Also if a person talked about a news story on the phone--mentioned the Middle East

or any current world situation--he/she might have been targeted as a terrorist. Wow. Just mentioning that you read about anything to do with Iraq or terrorism might have put you on the list. That's amazing and very scary.

What about those of us on DU and other message boards talking about current politics and world situations?
