On a recent broadcast of Democracy Now
Angela Davis and attorney Lennox Hinds spoke quite eloquently about
Shakeur’s plight yet neither of them managed to mention the words Barack
or Obama. The omission made the rest of their words meaningless. The
justice department is Obama’s justice department. The FBI is his FBI and
any and all of its decisions must get the green light straight from the
president. If Assata Shakur or anyone else is labeled a terrorist by
the United States government it is with Barack Obama’s express
permission.
