Getting Closer
Why is this not a surprise? From the NY Times:
....a report by MSNBC said the April protest had appeared on what the network said was a database from a Pentagon surveillance program. The protest was listed as a "credible threat" - to what is not clear to people around here - and was the only campus action among scores of other antimilitary demonstrations to receive the designation.
"We will only spy on phone conversations going out of the country," the White House says in response to concerns over the NSA tapping phone conversations without a warrent. Then you read things like this and know that all your worst fears are coming true. This sort of thing reminds me too much of government reaction to Vietnam era protests.
