Palestine- & Austin TX-News Sun Jun 13, 2010

The Austin TX news is this interesting video posted by woman who was visited by the FBI for her pro-Palestinian activism. 
{This video taken down by user.}
The woman in the video remains anonymous.  The two agents from the Joint Terrorism Task Force (the woman appears to be a US Marshal) take her whipping out a video recorder in stride.  Then they ask her their main question:  "Do you know of any acts of violence being planned?"  She sensibly takes the Fifth ('Talking's thirsty work, agent. Why don't you go to the liquor store & buy a fifth of something?'  No, she invokes the Fifth Amendment.) This whole episode raises many questions.  Should they now go to their informant/complainant & prepare them for a grand jury questioning on the charge of wasting gov't resources?  Who can get the JTTF to go question someone?  Someone off the street, or would it have to be someone in federal, state, or local government?  Lloyd Doggett, a liberal Democrat, is the congressman for Austin.  The woman should ask him to look into this.
Next, to Palestine.
