“Dee Rybiski, an FBI spokeswoman in Richmond, says that when the agency receives ‘complaints,’ it has to respond. With a month in a psychiatric hospital? Ms. Rybiski, if I call you with a few well-directed complaints, will you promise to incarcerate the subjects for a month? I’ve contacted the offices of freedom-loving Republican candidates George Allen (Senate) and Bob Goodlatte (House), but so far no one there has said a word about Raub’s plight. Be sure to re-read 1984, especially O’Brien’s ‘medicating’ of Winston in the Ministry of Love, and Cancer Ward, Solzhenitsyn’s account of the psychiatric torture that political prisoners endured under the Soviet system.”
