U.S. Military Spied on Hundreds of Antiwar Demos

OneWorld.net - Wed Jan 24, 6:20 PM ET

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan 24 (OneWorld) - At least 186 antiwar protests in the United States have been monitored by the Pentagon's domestic surveillance program, according to documents obtained by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), which also found that the Defense Department collected more than 2,800 reports involving Americans in a single anti-terrorism database

And this isn't a problem unless you're a kool-aid drinker.

They also spy on KKK rallies.

The idea is not that all the Anti War demonstrators are enemies, but that the demonstrators may be infiltrated by enemies, and so infiltrate with the spies first.

Intelligence gathering in a public place, such as a demonstration does mot impinge upon anyones privacy. The whole Idea of the demonstration is to publicly display ones attitude. I would also suspect that there are spies at the Pro Choice and Pro Life demonstrations, as well as during many of the Marathons.

Good. We now know that the Sane/Freeze anti nuke movement was controled and financed by the KGB. Who is to say that the "so called" peace movement isn't financed by Islamofacists like Hamas and Hezbollah?

BFD: Glad to know they're keeping tabs on that crowd of rabble rousers.

Ya know what, you just conjured up for me an image of a folk singer on a stairs when who should walk by but frat boy John Belushi to bash his guitar against the bannister. LMAO.

I will admit, I don't like the idea of spying on American peace groups, but it is not like tapping someone's phone without a warrant, now is it?
Law enforcement is not arresting anyone by attending their meetings or going to their demonstrations. If no laws are broken, then it is not an invasion of their privacy per se. In theory, a group could have extreme elements whether it is the KKK, an extreme leftist group. For example, if the Greek government spied on leftists more they may have found out about a planned attack on the American Embassy in Greece. Just a thought. I am not for the phone taps without warrants, however.
