As much as I dislike the ACLU, they have rights, obivously they could just be exagerrating, but for some reason I doubt it, I’m not going to say “If this isn’t evidence of a police state what is”, because thats going a little far, but my point is that its pretty [censored] obvious that the ACLU isn’t a terrorist group.
I think there is more to this than the FBI or Washington is willing to let on, but like I said I don’t want to come across as completly anti-American.
Think of them as parents!
Don’t act though, they are dangerous!
I’m not suprised, though I wouldn’t call it spying. I mean, the ACLU and GreenPeace are public … well whatever they are … they’re public. Greenpeace, a shell of what it started out to be, and the ACLU a nagging shoadow behind anything the govenrment might do. I would want to know what they’ve been up to, wouldn’t you? Where greenpeace might strike next, or let the government build up a defence to whatever the ACLU might decide to attack. As a public entity I think they both have the right to be ‘monitored.’
If you told me something like verizon (phone company) had illegal phone taps put in by the FBI under the guise of homeland security I would be up in arms. But to have some dirt (That I believe will be released uncensored, anything that is will just have the origonal document published by the respective organization) is nothing. I’m just not suprised, yes, I can see how it’s wrong, but I just don’t care. They’re dangerous political entities, they’re constantly annoying SOMEONE, so like troublesome kids they’r ebeing watched.
Greenpeace aren’t half as dangerous as they used to be, and the ACLU are hardly militant.
Did use the word militant? You can be a threat by words alone.
