Richard Hersh, of Boca Raton, Fla., director of Truth Project Inc. of Palm Beach County, told an ad hoc panel of House Democrats that his group and others in South Florida have been infiltrated and spied upon despite having no connections to terrorists.
"Agents rummaged through the trash, snooped into e-mails, packed Web sites and listened in on phone conversations," Hersh charged. "We know that address books and activist meeting lists have disappeared."
The Truth Project gained national attention when NBC News reported last month that it was described as a "credible threat" in a database of suspicious activity compiled by the Pentagon's Talon program. The listing cited the group's gathering a year ago at a Quaker meeting house in Lake Worth, Fla., to talk about ways to counter military recruitment at high schools.
Gee look another Bush lie is exposed! How many is that? Is anybody keeping track?
I can't help but wonder how much money was spent on keeping tabs on these American citizens, and how many man hours were used to sift through their garbage and invade their home computers. How could those resources have been put to better use to keep our country safe from the enemy?
George Bush uses our intelligence resources and our military as his own personal army to do with as he sees fit. Somebody needs to sit his ass down and slowly explain the difference between a President and a King. Where is his father?
Hopefully the Conyers Hearings will be rerun on cspan- they were on this weekend- they were amazing and alarming. Good post.
