took them twelve days to cover that distance. They were keeping me in jail without any trial -- which is absolutely illegal. For three days in the Charlotte court they could not prove anything against me. Still, the U.S. attorney insisted to the court that I could not be given bail. All six people who were with me were given bail because there was no case.
Now, you can see their strategy. The people who were with me on the plane were given bail, but for me, especially, they would not give bail.

In those twelve days they lied at every step, even to the point where they wanted me to sign under a false name: David Washington. And this was being forced on me by the U.S. Marshal himself!
In the middle of the night he told me, "You have to sign under this name."
I said, "You are supposed to be a law-enforcing authority. Under what law does this idea come? On your coat is written Department of Justice. At least for the moment remove the coat -- because what justice is there? This is not
