And the problem is.....?

I would track anti-American Pro-Terrorist hate-filled failures as well if I were looking to protect law abiding Americans.

Three years after 9/11 I would call this prudent.

Donna Lieberman, the executive director of the New York Civil Liberties Union, said the revelations of "spying" were shocking.

Well too freakin bad. Be shocked. I find most of what the ACLU does pretty shocking myself.

As I recall some of these protestors beat up a cop.

I should add that this is my recollection only - I have no links.

Sounds like the City of New York takes terrorism seriously, even if their newspapers don't

My goodness! If this is true about these peaceful groups being spied upon, then we here at FR should be on our guard. There may even be SPIES among us disguised as FReepers!!!

Oh, the horror.

And I'll bet there were similar projects to track those who might disrupt the Democrat convention - but since the Times doubtless approved of this "spying" so their cronies wouldn't be embarrassed, it wasn't mentioned......

Adolf Hitler and Josef Stalin were both police informers/agent provocateurs that later took over the extreme parties they were sent to spy on.

If I remember correctly .. the liberals/dems/kooks had been all over the TV, radio, broadway plays, writing books, etc., talking about "killing the President".

It's no wonder to me the KOOKS were being tailed .. they had given the police plenty of reasons to be suspicious of them.

The most interesting protester by far received no attention. He rode a bike up Seventh Avenue in the early morning hours wearing a colonial outfit, including tri-corner hat,yelling, "The Republicans are coming! The Republicans are coming!"

The only folks around to see him were cops who doubled over laughing.

Good they did their job. And the ACLU can go straight to hell.

From the ORIGINAL Cache of the 2004 Republican National Convention

This is the brochure for the protest of the 2004 Republican National Convention.

This brochure is for the groups, Not in Our Name, Code Pink, RNC2DNC, MoveOn, Stonewall and name the group of the day.

There were a lot of thank yous that went out on the anti war protesters mails for all the inside help they had in getting the RNC schedule of events, guests and planning information so they could affectly assemble at all the events.

Notice the event listed at August 29. A thank you party was held for the Log Cabin Republicans.
