I wouldn't know that..never watched it....they were on the news here in Florida. They are a small group of older people who are on the terrorist list because they are against the war...lol... They are suing ....
I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to find out that the reason they were under surveillance is that they said something publicly about killing the president and the media left that little bit out of the report.
Also, it is conceivable that they were involved with a group like CodePink, who recently gave a lot of money to insurgents in Iraq.
Do some google searches on the quotes that the leaders of groups like PeTA, CodePink, Greenpeace, etc. have made. It is rather frightening.
