Raw Story has uncovered some very serious information regarding the government spying on people:
Documents released today by the American Civil Liberties Union reveal that the Federal Bureau of Investigations has indeed monitored political groups solely on the basis that they opposed a U.S.-led war.
According to a memo written in 2002, the FBI launched a classified investigation into the activities of Pittsburgh’s Thomas Merton Center after becoming concerned that the group held “daily leaflet distribution activities in downtown Pittsburgh and [was] currently focused on its opposition to the potential war on Iraq.” The memo aimed to summarize the investigation’s results.
This is horrible. The Bush administration will stop at nothing when it comes to pissing away our civil liberties. Every time he goes out and talks about how “we are spreading democracy around the world” he should just be booed. We need democracy at home and he sure as hell don’t care about that.
