DENVER -- As part of a “domestic terrorism" investigation, the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force conducted surveillance of a Denver bookstore on February 15, 2003 and monitored 40 people who gathered there to carpool to an anti-war demonstration in Colorado Springs later that day, according to an FBI report released today by the American Civil Liberties Union of Colorado
“This report raises more questions about the degree to which the FBI is unjustifiably regarding demonstrations and public dissent as potential terrorism," said Mark Silverstein, Legal Director of the ACLU of Colorado. “Why is the FBI conducting surveillance of a bookstore, monitoring the persons who gather there, and keeping files with lists of license plate numbers?"
The document, the latest the ACLU obtained in response to a series of requests under the Freedom of Information Act, reports that FBI agents spent two hours watching Breakdown Bookstore, counting about 40 persons who gathered there for the anti-war march. The report also indicates that the FBI recorded the descriptions and license plate numbers of a dozen cars “in the vicinity" of the now-closed political bookstore, located at the time in the 1400 block of Ogden Street.
Last December, the ACLU released a related document indicating that the FBI opened its investigation of the anti-war march four days earlier, on the basis of announcements the FBI encountered on the Web sites of the Rocky Mountain Peace and Justice Center and the Colorado Campaign for Middle East Peace.

you cannot trust the feds. These are the 'al-qaida' they say they are spying on when in fact it is ordinary Americans exercising their rights that they spy on.
