Dictators Spy on Peace Groups
Why is it that nobody in the media, even the alternative press, can bring themselves to say it. Bush is truly acting like a dictator- boldy declaring he broke the law and will continue to do so…. and Congress and the media are all pretending that it’s Business as Usual. It’s high time the alternative press start calling out Congress on their silent, stalling complicity.

Of course they say the spying is to protect us, just as Orwell predicted.

California National Guard Suspected of Spying on CodePink and Raging Grannies

Letter From a Military Mom: Domestic Spying & Incident of Intimidation of Military Families

New Documents Show FBI Spying on Domestic Activist Groups

Anti-War Group Has Documents Proving NSA Spied on Them

Police Infiltrate Protest Groups, Incite Violence: innocent Americans beaten while infiltrators slink away.

Pentagon spying on Peace Groups, even Quakers & worst of all,
they hired Lockheed Martin and Northrup Gruman to do some of the spying!

The very military-industrial complex that killed JFK, Malcom X, Martin Luther King Jr, RFK, & John Lennon now has the freedom to spy on all Americans- paid for by our very own tax dollars.

Is this to stop terrorists, or to identify dissenters that may impede the war machine?

But surely there’s no room for abuse, they can’t just spy on anybody… well, actually, the decision on who to spy on was left up to a shift supervisor.

Who believes all of the above was to stop terrorism?

1. I feel we've been living in a virtual dicatatorship
for some time now. The thing that gets me is the cult of personality around Bush that apparently keeps repukes in congress from doing anything to make sure the balance of power remains intact.
