The Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) raised similar questions and also called
for an investigation of what the FBI and other intelligence agencies were planning.
CCR is calling on Attorney General John Ashcroft to resign.

"Routine spying on dissidents is a sign of a police state, and unless we stop this
administration's cavalier attitude towards fundamental rights we face a serious
threat to our democracy," said Michael Ratner, president of CCR.

According to a front-page story in Sunday's Times, the memorandum was
circulated last month to local law enforcement agencies across the country in
advance of anticipated anti-war rallies in Washington, D.C. and San Francisco.

Its disclosure comes amid increasing controversy about measures the government
is taking to prosecute the war on terrorism at home, as well as abroad.

Seeing how it has been decided that the FBI will work against the anti-war groupings, unless people want to be given the wrong directions to go to rallies so that they end up in fields in the middle of nowhere, then they had better set up a counter-FBI organisation.

The information of the kind of stunts the FBI will pull is all out there curtsey of the Vietnam War. This information needs to be collected, turned into a digestible form and circulated.
