Citizen activists served with papers for Guantanamo protest
A group of Christian protestors from the anti-torture organization Witness Against Torture marched on the prison at Guantanamo Bay Naval Base to demand the U.S. close the prison and release the detainees.
The Treasury Department has served papers on several members of the group, including a few who did not actually go to Cuba because travel to Cuba is banned.
This is a little off our beaten path, but it's interesting to see how domestic activists are dealt with. I would love to know how the process has changed materially since the COINTELPRO days and how all the new technology has changed the process.
