It should also be mentioned that what makes the issue particularly frightening and poignant are the reports back in 2009 that protests were categorized as "low-level terrorism" by Department of Defense training manuals:

This could potentially turn any lawful and peaceful protest an act of terrorism, thus making it much easier to clean up Occupy and any other dissent that comes along.

How much longer after this bill is passed will we see Occupy protesters and anyone in general the govt doesn't like classed as terrorists and indefinitely imprisoned. Hello Gulag!
