Thomas Andrew Olson at The Libertarian Enterprise -
Presumed Guilty: Caught in the American Gulag - concerning the
detention, nay torture, of
Walt Anderson, accused of not paying federal taxes, and discovered
to possess books the goons didn't like. God damn these pigs to
hell. And may their trip there be long and agonizing. Crucifiction?

(5) Finally, of course, is his physical and psychological treatment in
the detention facility itself, as described above, the express purpose
of which can only be to break his spirit. When he finally goes to
trial, he will physically "look guilty" to a jury totally ignorant of
what actually goes on in those facilities. His uphill battle will only
get worse.
The Feds presumably fear their case is not airtight; so if they can
prevent Anderson from adequately defending himself, the better chance
they will have of overwhelming a jury into convicting him.
The outrageousness of all this is exceeded only by its
hypocrisy. O.J. Simpson and Robert Blake were allowed to pay their
lawyers from personal assets. Those involved in the Enron, WorldCom
and Tyco scandals all ran around free--for three years, in some
cases--before even being indicted.
Anderson, by contrast, never assaulted or ripped off anyone. He's
simply accused of not paying his taxes--so one could infer that, to
a Fed, tax evasion is more heinous a crime than rape or
murder. Taxation is the sustenance of the State itself, and that maw
must be fed continuously, be it with money or the blood of
innocents. A strong message must be sent: that failure to comply is
never to be considered an option.
