How do you like democracy so far?

Today, the American Civil Liberties Union released new evidence that the FBI is conducting investigations of political organizations based solely on their anti-war views. The documents released today prove that an FBI invesigation of the Thomas Merton Center was conducted for no other reason than the center's opposition to the war in Iraq. Other evidence shows clearly that anti-war groups have been investigated by the federal government, but the Thomas Merton information is the first to prove that an organization has been investigated for the sole reason that it opposes the war.
