>There are other ways of silencing people besides arrest and detainment 

  Did Nightwatch use any of those?  NO!  I saw them arresting merchants tht
wouldn't support the program, a man that casually expressed an opinion to a
friend in public and got overheard.  Until THIS is going on, I will continue to
be vocal about comparisons to the current administration and Nightwatch.

Speaking as the person who *created* the Nightwatch, and is thus the ultimate
authority on same...I would point out that the Nightwatch did not start out by
arresting people...they worked through indimidation.

The arrests only came later, unwittingly assisted by people who didn't want to
see the organization for what it was when it was still able to be stopped.

Just for the record.
