FBI infiltrated antiwar group

The individual who came up with this is too scuzzy to be deemed an American. This is downright evil.

I've discussed before the drawn-out scandal in which the Maryland Police State Police illegally infiltrated antiwar and other groups that state officials disagreed with.

But now it turns out the FBI and an undercover Minnesota cop conducted a similar illegal infiltration of an antiwar organization in Iowa City, Iowa, last year. The group was coordinating a protest against the Republican National Convention in St. Paul.

The FBI didn't even bother to notify Iowa police that it was spying on folks in the Hawkeye State.

What is it about peace that scares the government so much that it needs to spy on antiwar activists?

Also, reports by police claiming that protesters broke windows and threw bodily waste at cops during the convention have already been debunked.

This act of spying on dissidents isn't unique in recent Iowa history. In 2003, Polk County authorities spied on an antiwar conference in Des Moines. The following year, the fascist Bush regime investigated this conference. No illegal activity by the antiwar activists was found.

Which is always the case in stories like this. Of all the recent illegal spy operations against dissenters in the U.S., authorities have yet to find any significant illegal acts being planned or committed by the dissidents.

Somebody at the FBI needs to be doing hard time for penetrating the antiwar group with no probable cause whatsoever.
