"Governments have no right to question the loyalty of those who oppose
them. Adversaries remain citizens of the same state, common subjects of
the same sovereign, servants of the same law."

One more bump. Let's see how good their prediction was...
Completely invalid prediction, and not just because it didn't happen.

The earthsky.org article never was updated. Remind me to not trust earthsky.org again.
