Знаете, дорогой друг, одно из самых распростран╦нных людских заблуждений - судить других по тому, как поступаешь сам.
Я не собираюсь ничего Вам доказывать в отношении моего друга, но приведу документальное свидетельство в отношении другого человека, профессора из Принстона, попавшего в эти самые ч╦рные списки за критику бушевского режима. Весь текст читайте тут:

WALTER MURPHY: Well, it was -- briefly, I went tried to -- I went to the -- what-s called here the Sunport -- the airport and tried to check in to fly to Newark and then to go down to Princeton for a conference on my latest book. And the man at the curb-in check-in says, ?I can't give you a boarding pass, because╕ -- the words he used -- ?you-re on the terrorist watch list.╕ I was rather incredulous. And my first reaction was ?Oh, God, I probably punched the wrong button when I was trying to make reservations.╕ And he said, ?You'll have to go inside.╕ He chatted with me for a couple of minutes.
I went inside, talked to a clerk, who said, ?Yes,╕ and he used the words ?terrorist watch list.╕ And I say, ?That can't be,╕ and I had my Marine ID, I showed. I said, ?I-m a retired colonel in the Marine Corps.╕ Most people were very polite, very sympathetic. The guy says, ?Oh.╕ And so, he said, ?Can I take this? I will go inside and talk to the people.╕ I assumed the people were from Transportation Security Agency, and I said, ?Sure.╕ And he came back in about ten minutes -- of course, it seemed like ten hours -- and said, "Alright, I can give you your boarding pass." And he did.
There were two American Airlines people there. And I don-t know -- you know, I can't remember now who was saying what, because the more I thought about it and realized it wasn't my mistake that I was in there, I began having a little smoke come out of my ears. But one of the two people I talked to asked, ?Have you been in any peace marches?╕ And then, before I could answer, he says, ?We ban a lot of people from flying for that.╕ And then I said, ?No, but I did give a speech attacking George Bush.╕ And he said, ?Oh, that will do it.╕
-- Заметили слова, выделенные мной жирным шрифтом? Так вот, мой друг как раз и занимался организациией этих самых маршей и пикетов возле Белого дома - и оказался в том же самом списке, что и этот профессор из Принстона.
Засим предлагаю Вам закончить с театром и ╦рничанием.
