A U.S. journalist was grilled by Canadian border officials for 90 minutes Wednesday. Officials demanded to know if Democracy Now's Amy Goodman was going to speak against hosting the Olympic games in Canada.

Goodman said that she and her crew "were flagged right off the bat," and that they "demanded her notes."

She said they sifted through their vehicle and perused one of her colleague's computer.

Goodman said that it "has a very chilling effect when you're a journalist and you're asked about what you're going to talk about."
