Under the heading of "This don't seem right"... ================================================== Woman Sues Over Ticket for Anti-Bush Bumper Sticker By DANIEL YEE, AP ATLANTA (Oct. 17) - A woman who was ticketed for having an obscene anti-President Bush bumper sticker filed a lawsuit in federal court Monday against DeKalb County and its officials. Denise Grier, 47, of Athens, Ga., got a $100 ticket in March after a DeKalb County police officer spotted the bumper sticker, which read "I'm Tired Of All The BUSH*T." (The actual bumper sticker didn't delete any letters.)

If you accept the supreme courts interpretation of "not of international character" to mean not between nations, than article three would apply and give some protection, probably a lesser level of protection. If you don't accept that interpretation and think "not of international character" means something like "entirely within one nation", than article 3 doesn't apply. Article 2 clearly wouldn't apply to Al Qaeda. they aren't a signatory and they don't accept or apply the terms.
