FBI Acknowledges Spying on American Citizens and Domestic Organizations

The New York Times yesterday revealed that the Bush Administration has been abusing its authority to spy on domestic organizations. According to the New York Times, among the groups being monitored by FBI agents were a Catholic Workers group that promotes antipoverty efforts and social causes, a meeting of Quakers, and PETA. A top FBI official reportedly justified spying on these groups by saying that environmental and animal rights groups, not Al Qaida, "posed the biggest terrorist threats in the United States."

That sure doesn't sound like Al Qaida to me.
