New Bedford - A senior at UMass Dartmouth was visited by federal agents two months ago, after he requested a copy of Mao Tse-Tung's tome on Communism called "The Little Red Book."
Two history professors at UMass Dartmouth, Brian Glyn Williams and Robert Pontbriand, said the student told them he requested the book through the UMass Dartmouth library's interlibrary loan program.
The student, who was completing a research paper on Communism for Professor Pontbriand's class on fascism and totalitarianism, filled out a form for the request, leaving his name, address, phone number and Social Security number. He was later visited at his parents' home in New Bedford by two agents of the Department of Homeland Security, the professors said.
The student told Professor Pontbriand and Dr. Williams that the Homeland Security agents told him the book was on a "watch list." They brought the book with them, but did not leave it with the student, the professors said.

Bush claims the US is winning the war in Iraq, even though the body count is climbing (of course none of the bodies belong to him or any of his chickenhawk sycophants). What color is the sky on the planet he is living on?
Bush lied, and has authorised illegal wiretaps. What color is the sky on the planet he is living on?
Bigger question: What are the people who were so up in arms about Clinton? where are the angry voters who thought this walking sack of shit was the 2nd coming? Where are the angry voices? Shrub hasn't quite gotten rid of Freedom of Speech, so USE IT before that bastard takes even more of your rights away.
