Minutemen Exonerated

This morning the left was on this story like flies on cowpie:

TUCSON, Ariz. - Three volunteers patrolling the border for illegal immigrants were being investigated after a man told authorities he was held against his will and forced to pose for a picture holding a T-shirt with a mocking slogan.

The volunteers said they were members of the Minuteman Project — a monthlong effort that has people from around the country fanned out along the border to report undocumented migrants and smugglers. Law enforcement officials have said they fear the project will lead to vigilante violence.

I would have linked to the original story but AP has already pulled it and replaced it with the story below. Clever people, remove all incriminating evidence of a hatchet job.
As I said earlier the MSM is vehemently against the minutemen and are going to do everything in their power to discredit their efforts.

Well, as it turns out:

TUCSON, Ariz. Apr 7, 2005 — Authorities determined Thursday that three volunteers involved in a civilian project to watch the border and report illegal crossers did not hold an illegal immigrant against his will.

"The county attorney's office reviewed all available evidence, that indicates that there was no forcible detention, therefore the case is not substantiated, and no charges are pending," said Carol Capas, a spokeswoman for the Cochise County Sheriff's Department.

Sorry, gonna have to look elsewhere for dirt on our guys.
