Apparently the Quakers and other such subversives fit within the 'terrorist' paradigm now. Not the first time, but now that the US has abandoned habeus corpus, it looks to be trouble.

Pentagon monitoring peace activists email.

quote:
For instance, an April 12, 2005, Talon document, just released by the ACLU, shows that the Pentagon was concerned about "suspicious activity" at an upcoming event sponsored by the Broward Anti-War Coalition in Florida.

This peace group, according to the document, was planning -- hold your breath here -- "guerrilla theater and other forms of subversive propaganda" at the Fort Lauderdale Air and Sea Show.

The source of the information was the Miami-Dade Police Department, and members of Army Recruiting and the Miami Joint Terrorism Task Force were briefed on it, the document states.


Christ. Guerrilla theatre. Guaranteed to smash the state, or something.

The worst part of this is that the rest of us will have to hear how "guerilla theatre" majors really are doing something to scare The Man...
