# 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? [tle]
(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.
