Third Planet Report 5/23/07 features the following:

1) Interview with Lauren Regan, wonder-woman and civil rights attorney who has been fighting the good fight for our civil liberties for the last ten years.  Lauren talks about her latest struggle defending the rights of the "green eco-warriors" branded terrorists by the government.  The government is asking the Judge to lock them up and throw away the key under the "terrorist enhancement statutes."  Lauren explains why allowing this to happen could effect all of our rights to dissent and protest;
