Antiwar website says it was spied on by FBI

A lawsuit in San Francisco federal court seeks documents showing that the FBI has conducted secret surveillance on an antiwar website operated by two Bay Area men.

The suit asserts that the FBI began targeting antiwar.com a decade ago and has documents indicating it considered the site a threat to national security. While the suit says the FBI denied having any such documents, antiwar.com produced a 2004 memo suggesting otherwise, according to an account in the San Francisco Chronicle.

The memo, heavily redacted, is here, with references to antiwar.com beginning on Page 62. The Chronicle story is here.

  • The more that comes out about what the government does, the less ridiculous people seem when they claim they’re being spied on.
