The Sand Point Naval Brig was used to process and detain protestors during Seattle's WTO riots. Anyplace could have served the purpose, but the old brig was used because of it's questionable real-estate status. Is navy real estate subject to US law or maritime law? Since that time, the more despicable unconstitutional laws passed in the US have referred to maritime law, not US law. The people illegally imprisoned in the US as suspected 'terrorists' and at Guantanamo...well they can be denied lawyers and be 'interrogated' to death under maritime law, can't they? I pointed this out to Don Firth, and for some reason he can't get over it. Says Sand Point is just an adult fun center where they make daisy chains or something. Don't take it so personally, Don. You couldn't have known what was going on at the time. It caught us all off guard. Fascism was taking baby steps in America and then took a giant step in your city. So it goes.
