As the news breaks of detention cages for DNC protestors, and legalized wiretapping, and thousands of other little bites out of our civil liberties, we take stock of the People's Republic of Bush. There seems to be no limits to the hypocrisy of the administration when it comes to telling the world how they need to address their human rights record. While the finger is wagging at other countries, we hold the mirror up to our own growing surveillance state and activists arrested and harassed. We ask our panel, freedom, what freedom?

Please welcome our guests, artist and activist, Laurie Arbeiter of The Critical Voice, Dana Balicki, CodePink's Campaign Director, Aden Fine, an ACLU Senior Staff Attorney, and Heather Reddick, International Operations Director of Students for a Free Tibet.

Reddick updates us on the attention grabbing actions of Students For A Free Tibet in Beijing during the Olympics. Balicki says sometimes you only have your body and your individual voice to make a difference, and shows us the massive banners CodePink has hung on the U.S. Congress.

Fine represents Raed Jarrar in a federal civil rights lawsuit against JetBlue and the TSA; Jarrar was kept from boarding his flight at JFK until he agreed to cover his t-shirt, which read “We Will Not Be Silent” in English and Arabic script. According to the complaint, Harris told Jarrar that it is impermissible to wear an Arabic shirt to an airport and equated it to a “person wearing a t-shirt at a bank stating, ‘I am a robber.’” Arbeiter is with the activist artist group that made the shirt - "We Will Not Be Silent" is borrowed from The White Rose, a student-resistance movement in Nazi Germany. Critical Voice has a new series out "Arrest Bush" and "Arrest Cheney First"; both have Article II of the U.S. Constitution on the back.

And if you want to get ahold of one of those Arrest Bush tshirts, email arrestbush@gmail.com
