Is the Pentagon spying on Americans?
http://msnbc.msn.com/id/10454316/

Now, apparently the Quakers. What next??

WASHINGTON - 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.

fight them over there.... er, no, wait..... so we have something to do with our spare time.... er, no wait... so we can spend "their own money" on keeping track of their innocent activities. Yeah, that's the ticket.

3. Every body spies on everybody.
This is because the jackasses in Washington have turned us into a totally paranoid country. We are afraid of everybody and we are afraid of everything that everybody might want to do....so we spy.

Damn!
