Y'never know that they might control the San Joaquim fault line yet - whatever that is. 'Sides, whatever, I am just plain interested in what people think."

‘Sides, whatever, I am just plain interested in what people think.”

The anti-war protesters need to flatter themselves less with the idea that the gov't is soooo interested in their precious lives. Doesn't it make a little sense to spy on domestic anti-war groups? Terrorists might be attracted to organizations against current U.S. policies. I don't see how anyone can honestly argue that anti-war organizations do not pose a threat to the country greater than say, the Boy Scouts of America. How could the organization be used? As a logical platform for displaced terrorists and splinter cells to network, organize, plot and continually fail to kill Bond, James Bond. Which brings me to my real point: How many resources do you think the intelligence community uses to keep track of 62 yrs. old Moonbeam Kightrider and her Peace Posse from Pasadena? The irony -- No terrorist will go to anti-war protest or Anti-War dens (which are generally located in public library or near Starbucks.) It will be common knowledge that such places are festering with federal agents. Where does it stop? At the ballot box or a big dirty car bomb.
