Isn’t it comforting to know that the military is spying on us for our own good?
A year ago, at a Quaker Meeting House in Lake Worth, Fla., a small group of activists met to plan a protest of military recruiting at local high schools. What they didn’t know was that their meeting had come to the attention of the U.S. military.
A secret 400-page Defense Department document obtained by NBC News lists the Lake Worth meeting as a “threat” and one of more than 1,500 “suspicious incidents” across the country over a recent 10-month period.
You know those Quakers. You just can’t trust a pacifist. One minute, they’re turning the other cheek, and the next, they’ve cast aside their entire moral code and have become hardened terrorists!
On a more serious note: who can we fire because of this? Rumsfeld? Cheney? Bush? If we are to have any hope of retaining our democracy, someone must be held accountable.
