Via Pam's House Blend:
In an effort to fight the "War on Terror", the FBI has been monitoring the ACLU and other groups such as Greenpeace.
"I know for an absolute fact that we have not been involved in anything related to promoting terrorism and yet the government has collected almost 1,200 pages on our activities," Romero said. [Anthony Romero is the ACLU's executive director] "Why is the ACLU now the subject of scrutiny from the FBI?"
John Passacantando, Greenpeace's U.S. executive director, said his group is a forceful, but peaceful, critic of the Bush administration's war and environmental policies.
"This administration has a history of using its powers against its peaceful critics. If, in fact, the FBI has been deployed to help in that effort, that would be quite shocking," Passacantando said.
No, it's not shocking at all. I'm starting to feel that the FBI is this administration's Gestapo in the making.
