By the way, I have to admit I lost most of my sympathy for Stewart and her worries about "police state tactics" after her interview with MONTHLY REVIEW where she said: http://articles.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1132/is_6_54/ai_94142091/pg_2
"I don't have any problem with Mao or Stalin or the Vietnamese leaders or certainly Fidel locking up people they see as dangerous. Because so often, dissidence has been used by the greater powers to undermine a people's revolution. The CIA pays a thousand people and cuts them loose, and they will undermine any revolution in the name of freedom of speech."
It's hard to make an icon of free speech out of someone who supports gulags for other dissidents around the world.
