Report: NSA Surveilled Baltimore Peace Group
Raw Story reports that the National Security Agency conducted surveillance on members of a Baltimore peace group. It even has the reports to show it. Kevin Zeese, of Democracy Rising and a candidate for the U.S. Senate in Maryland, writing at Raw Story has more:
According to the documents, the Pledge of Resistance-Baltimore, a Quaker-linked peace group, has been monitored by the NSA working with the Baltimore Intelligence Unit of the Baltimore City Police Department....The documents came as a result of litigation in the August 2003 trial of Marilyn Carlisle and Cindy Farquhar. An NSA security official provided the defendants with a redacted Action Plan and a redacted copy of a Joint Terrorism Task Force email about the activities of the Pledge of Resistance activities.
The NSA should not be conducting surveillance of American protestors. It's time to rein in the agency in. This should be a bi-partisan issue. Will Congress be up to the task?
