In June the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) released the October 2002 "Presidential Advance Manual" which outlines instructions for staff to deter potential protestors from President Bush's public appearances. The Washington Post is just now reporting on the manual the ACLU obtained as part of a lawsuit filed on behalf of two people arrested for refusing to cover their anti-Bush T-shirts at a Fourth of July speech. It directs the White House advance staff to ask local police "to designate a protest area where demonstrators can be placed, preferably not in the view of the event site or motorcade route." . . . To counter any demonstrators who do get in, advance teams are told to create "rally squads" of volunteers with large hand-held signs, placards or banners with "favorable messages." Squads should be placed in strategic locations and "at least one squad should be 'roaming' throughout the perimeter of the event to look for potential problems," the manual says
