Glenn and all you baristers that routinely post here:
I'm 62 years old and have watched someone elses government (I know it's not mine) kill innocent women and children in the name of 'law and order.' None of what you are witnessing today will change until the members of your chosen profession are willing to risk their careers (You know that old meaningless LIVES, FORTUNES AND HONOR) stuff. I know what I was willing to do to bring about change and I did it, I was then told by lawyers and judges 'Sure, we know you are RIGHT. But WE just can't let this change happen. It is better for social order that you and others who believe as you do, though you are indeed right, should now go off to jail so as to maintain the orderly society WE all benefit from.' What is really ironic it to watch the way the ABC producer was arrested on a sidewalk in Denver and then listen to legalists opine about human rights in China.
