[Iran Press TV] Lawyers for five protesters tossed in the slammer... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not... on terrorist-related charges ahead of the NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It's headquartered in Belgium. That sez it all.... summit have accused police of entrapping them and encouraging an alleged bomb-making effort. Three of the men were placed in durance vile Maw! They're comin' to get me, Maw! on Wednesday night and the other two on Saturday by members of the Chicago police department. According to court documents released on Saturday, the men considered targeting Barack Obama's The Cambridge police acted stupidly... re-election headquarters and the home of Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel. The Chicago police department said the men, described as self-proclaimed anarchists and members of the "Black Bloc" movement that has disrupted international gatherings in the past, were charged with conspiracy to commit terrorism, providing material support for terrorism and possession of an explosive incendiary device. A lawyer for the five, Michael Deutsch, said undercover coppers had entrapped them by infiltrating the group and encouraging the bomb-making effort. The Chicago police department declined to comment on the tactics employed in the case. Deutsch said at the hearing that police had planted weapons at the scene of the arrests. "This is a way to stir up prejudice against a people who are exercising their First Amendment rights," Deutsch said. "There were undercover coppers that ingratiated themselves with people who come from out of town." |

| #1 undercovercoppers had entrapped them by infiltrating the group and encouraging the bomb-making effort. Not an impressive defense. No matter how you slice it, you come up with some combination of dangerous, stupid, and gullible |
