I'm going to chicken out of the bigger issue here (for now) and focus on a small technical detail:
I wonder if those carrying pro-Bush signs would have been cordonned off as well? If we know the answer to that, then we can find out if this was a free speech issue or a security issue.
And speaking as a Canadian, I believe freedom of speech should not be suppressed. Of course I can't claim to know what you people want for yourselves.
