Bush's Mysterious 'New Programs' if this has been posted, sorry
read the whole thing, it mentions protesters.
But there are concerns over how the Pentagon judges "threats" and who falls under the category "those who would harm us." A Pentagon official said the Counterintelligence Field Activity's TALON program has amassed files on antiwar protesters.

Bush's Mysterious 'New Programs'

By Nat Parry, Consortium News. Posted February 23, 2006.

Is the Pentagon building U.S.-based prison camps for Muslim immigrants? Evidence points to the possibility.

Not that George W. Bush needs much encouragement, but Sen. Lindsey Graham suggested to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales a new target for the administration's domestic operations -- Fifth Columnists, supposedly disloyal Americans who sympathize and collaborate with the enemy.

"The administration has not only the right, but the duty, in my opinion, to pursue Fifth Column movements," Graham, R-S.C., told Gonzales during Senate Judiciary Committee hearings on Feb. 6.

"I stand by this president's ability, inherent to being commander in chief, to find out about Fifth Column movements, and I don't think you need a warrant to do that," Graham added, volunteering to work with the administration to draft guidelines for how best to neutralize this alleged threat.

2. No -but what did you expect? This administration has been called "fascist"
for years...

Did nobody think about what that might actually entail? I still say "get out if you can". I will NOT get better.

3. some one needs to do some investigating as to when this is to be
completed then we may know when to start to worry about the next war, Iran and Syria. because they know full well we won't stand for another bullshit invasion. It'll send some over the top.
Some days it is just next to impossible to believe we are where we are today, other days it just jumps out at you, no denying it.
