"We believe the Canadian government should not be doing the dirty political intimidation work for the Bush administration by using that database," Wright, a former U.S. army colonel and deputy ambassador, said at a news conference outside the Canadian embassy in Washington.
The two women were en route from Buffalo to Toronto on Wednesday to meet with Canadian antiwar activists when they were denied entry.
In Benjamin's case, border agents cited a past misdemeanour trespassing conviction for a sit-in at the U.S. mission at the United Nations. She was fined $50 in that incident.

America 2007 is Germany 1930<br />

To the Germans in Mayer's study, each occasion of Nazi violence was worse than the last, but only a little worse. So they waited for the one shocking event, thinking that they would join with others if or when it happened. But as the violence escalated, no one rose up to condemn the concentration camps and general oppression. No one wanted to act alone, and when a mass uprising failed to occur, the common people just let events take their course. They progressively lost the ability to understand the horror of Nazism and the will to oppose it.<br />
<br />
Similarly, we don't see the growing fascism in America and the world because we don't want to see it and because it happens somewhat gradually, which makes it almost imperceptible to those who don't think critically. Everything in your society--Nazi Germany or twenty-first century America--seems so ordinary.<br />

Let them apply for a Pardon like everyone else. Canadian authorities don't take 6 years to process one, like US authorities do.
