Agreed. Suspected kidnapping would be an example of the "clear and present danger to someone's life" I mentioned earlier. But, there is no indication that was the case in the story that started this thread. As I understand it, if they suspected kidnapping that's even more reason the FBI should have been performing the raid instead of ICE. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
