Apparently our government fights terror by spying on "vegans" and other threats to our democracy.

The ACLU of Georgia released copies of government files on Wednesday that illustrate the extent to which the FBI, the DeKalb County Division of Homeland Security and other government agencies have gone to compile information on Georgians suspected of being threats simply for expressing controversial opinions.

For example, more than two dozen government surveillance photographs show 22-year-old Caitlin Childs of Atlanta, a strict vegetarian, and other vegans picketing against meat eating, in December 2003. They staged their protest outside a HoneyBaked Ham store on Buford Highway in DeKalb County.

Does anybody still feel comfortable allowing our government to have carte blanche when it comes to deciding whose privacy to invade or not?

How much more of this do we have to learn before we decide that this administration is completely out of control and needs to be stopped?
