Liberty Action News Digest

In police state news this week, the white House, wary of possible war crimes charges,is drafting legislation to protect U.S. personnel from certain war crimes prosecutions. and, wants to 'formalize the police state' by expandomg the reach and authority of special military 'courts' (take action on the military courts issue: Stop Congress from defying the Supreme Court ) .... while in Pennbsylvania, a man is arrested for photographing cops and a California Journalist jailed over protest footage. Meanwhile, from abroad, Paris bans thong bikinis, nudity at 'Paris Beaches' event.
