Maybe the Republicans should have picked someplace more temperate ....Mobile or Crawford, perhaps.

<excerpt>
Jamie Moran certainly hopes so. He is one of the main driving forces behind the protest movement which has sprung up since the Republicans announced they would gather in New York. He and others have been collecting information on all aspects of the convention.

They run a 'snitch line' where people involved in the convention can leak details of events and where delegates have been staying. The protesters are widely believed to have infiltrated several people into working at the convention who will smuggle information out. Moran's plan is to send out teams of activists to disrupt as many events as possible.

Maps of where Republican events are being held have been distributed. They contain details of where delegates are staying, lobbyists' parties are being held and major corporate headquarters are located. Streets will be shut down, impromptu marches held, meetings disrupted and parties invaded.

2. Can't this guy keep his mouth shut?
Must he advertise his plans all over the newspapers and Internet? Doesn't he realize that the FBI has scores of "Agent Mike's" scouring the Internet and infiltrating groups like his? Why make their jobs easier?
