Accuracy in Media has a truck driving around the Harvard campus (and other Ivy campuses now, too) with billboards flashing the names and photos of students who signed the anti-Israel petitions. Apparently the names are public record, as the Harvard Crimson published the petitions and their signatories. And AIM is updating them as more students sign and others withdraw their names.
I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, it doesn't seem right if people have their names publicized who don't want them publicized. Yet the students signed public petitions, and the far-left campus newspaper published their names, so I feel they hardly have grounds for complaint. Are they upset because they are realizing that they became open supporters of terrorism by signing?
What do you think?

What is a public petition other than a list of individual supporters of some subject that is then made public?
Of course, Harvard students of today may not understand the meaning of English words.

Seems to me that signing a public petition but not wanting it to be known is a bit stupid.

AIM has shifted to parking the truck outside the (publicly available) home addresses of the student leaders of the signing organizations. They also purchased the domains of the student leaders of the groups and created pages.

I don't know much about AIM, except they've been around and in the trenches for a long time. I don't think I've ever had a difference of opinion.
