Pentagon Grilled Over Database on War Critics
An AP newswire article, via MSNBC, report sthat:
Sen. Dianne Feinstein on Thursday asked for answers on an obscure Pentagon agency that included reports on student anti-war protests and other peaceful civilian demonstrations in a database meant to detect terrorist activities.
“Under what circumstances can peaceful protests at universities or by anti-war groups be monitored?” Feinstein, D-Calif., wrote in a letter to Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.
“What authorities, and under what regulations, do military counterintelligence units have to conduct investigations on U.S. persons?” she wrote.
