Police Collect Scents of G-8 Protestors

I was listening to the Daily Show tonight when fake news anchor Jon Stewart said the police at the G-8 Summit in Heiligendamm had collected the scents of some known opponents. Ha ha, lots of comedic laughs.

But guess what? It's true!

Not only that, they didn't stop at collecting scents.

Prosecutors already face criticism for taking scent samples in a pre-summit investigation of a handful of G-8 opponents _ a technique used by the dreaded East German Stasi secret police to track dissidents with dogs _ and for intercepting and opening the mail of another suspect.
