I can't help but find it disturbing that our country, that prides itself on freedom of speech, set up "free speech zones" that restrict peaceful protests to several city blocks away from the actual event they are protesting. The Mayor of Tampa, Pam Iorio, declared all of Tampa a "Free Speech Zone" when Bushed visited, recently. The battle between City and Federal ideas met a wonderful clash that day.

Who has been detained?
As far as I know all that was done is that the girl was questioned (at home, the agents didn't even enter, they talked through the doorway) regarding having some pro taliban material because she had an antibush poster.
At no point did they say "YOU CANNOT HAVE THAT POSTER!" they just wanted to know if she had any ties to the taliban etc.
Not a big deal. End of story.
