I AM sorry to say that several guests who did arrive at this little function reported that they were harrassed by US
Border Patrol or US INS officers on the bridge and at other crossings from Canada; they were evidently aware that my lecture was taking place. We know of several other instances where officials detained and turned back these visitors.

It seems that in their paranoia about terrorism — and remember, not one single act of terrorism has occurred on US soil since September 11, 2001 — the United States are using their new-found powers to conduct minor forays against Free
Speech themselves. They are turning into their own enemy, and there are in my view few fates worse than that.
