saying the dept of homeland security came in is very misleading because all of our law enforcement agencies are now the department of homeland security and DHS doesn't have their own enforcement force.
YES!!! We finally have a shread of intelligence in this thread! Fat Mike, you want to find fault in every, I mean every, little thing that happens in the government and put it back on Bush! Your song is old and played out now, and your anti-American crap is making you sound like the damn French.

What does that mean?
And if how would someone know if they don't like something until they read it. Think before you talk.
Fat Mike is entitled to his opinion, which is to whine all the time, and I'm entitled to mine, which is that whining all the time (especially if you don't know the whole story) is stupid.

The Oregonian is a slightly "left leaning" Newspaper. For all we know, these agents just went in and told the toystore owner they had an illegal product and to remove it. The paper's spin makes it sound like all these gov't agents(visual of "Men In Black") came into this mom & pop toystore and threw around their weight and power. Copyright infringemnt is illegal, right?

The AP piece (and one would suppose the Oregonian which was the source) exposes its bias in the first two paragraphs by using prejudicial language with no basis for it ... look at the bolded words. Originally posted by AP:
ST. HELENS, Ore. - So far as she knows, Pufferbelly Toys owner Stephanie Cox hasn't been passing any state secrets to sinister foreign governments or violating obscure clauses in the Patriot Act .
So she was taken aback by a mysterious phone call from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to her small store in this quiet Columbia River town just north of Portland.
The real story is that she might have been selling toys that were infringing on a patent and members of the department charged with overseeing such things, asked her to remove the toys from her shelves.
Nothing new here except that the department in question is now under the Department of Homeland Defense umbrella.

So what you're saying is that someone made a phone call to her to tell her that she was carrying something that was illegal, and because it was a gov't agency, it was some fantastical use of brute force and black ops?!
I'm sorry but "I was busted for doing something illegal, what can I do about it?" is weak.

That's the point I was making - the story as written makes it sound a lot more sinister than it was by the language they chose - suggesting to me that the person who wrote the story had a bias, ie: they wanted to make it sound like the Department of Homeland defense had nothing better to do than bust the chops of some poor lady; which, if you read the story, wasn't the case at all.
