They said WHAT?
Quotes we heard the last week or so

Patrick Frank, US army colonel, responding to an Iraqi police captain’s complaints that the US army does not trust Iraqi soldiers
If you people don’t want that right, then don’t do it. Then let your government trample all over you. If you don’t want to do it, it’s alright by me, but you don’t get me talking about it and going back to that thing called prison.
Jack Kevorkian, recently released from prison for advocating and performing assisted suicide

Just put their names into any search engine. They are world-renowned. They’ve lectured at MIT and exhibited at the Smithsonian.
Stacey Richman, lawyer representing graffiti artists in New York suing publishers for theft of work
To the extent that you over-hype a case, you create a fear and paranoia. It’s very difficult for prosecutors and investigative agencies to remain calm.
Neal R Sonnett, former federal prosecutor, talking about public warnings of terrorist plots
We’re now having to resort to more aggressive tactics to try and get this project stopped because the traditional means society is supposed to have to have input into this conversation and to actually slow the project are obviously not being listened to.
Mike Hudema, Freedom From Oil, teaching direct action tactics to protest groups in Alberta opposed to further development of oil sands projects

The Republic of East Vancouver masthead
The Republic of East Vancouver supports no party, advocates
for no cause, represents no group, serves no master, and considers
problems with no preconceived notions. We hope to afflict the comfortable,
both materially and intellectually, and comfort the afflicted—of
both kinds as well, and we are trying to do both things at the same
time.
