recent developments surrounding the CAE and discuss plans for an 
independent art and research campaign.

RESEARCH IS NOT TERRORISM
STEVE KURTZ, Critical Art Ensemble, with CLAIRE PENTECOST, CAE Defense Fund.
Critical Art Ensemble is known for its critical discourse and activist
practice.  It was Kurtz' research into biotechnology and germ warfare that

Kurtz himself was detained by the FBI as a suspected bio-terrorist.
