: Dispatches from the Culture WarsAmy Goodman Detained at Canadian Border
By Ed Brayton
On WPRR, my show follows Amy Goodman's Democracy Now on Thursday nights, so I took a particular interest in this story. The night before Thanksgiving, Goodman was detained and interrogated at the Canadian border while heading to Vancouver to speak at a benefit for a couple of community radio stations. And Goodman says the border guards just kept asking her what she was going to talk about, demanded to see her notes for her speech (which she didn't have) and even questioned her about her views on the 2010 Winter Olympics being held in Canada.
This is very bizarre behavior for a democratic nation to be engaging in. Transcript below the fold.
