Indy Filmmaker arrested in the People's House

In an unprecedented move yesterday, the Republican chair of the House Subcommittee on Science and Technology ordered Oscar-nominated filmmaker Josh Fox (Gasland)to be arrested and escorted out of a public hearing on fracking. Even without credentials, TV and film crews are traditionally allowed to film in hearings that are open to the public. The hearing focused on the finding from EPA scientists that fracking was the likely cause of major water contamination in Wyoming.
