Defense Department spying on students

It turns out the DOD is monitoring student e-mails and infiltrating campus demonstrations with undercover investigators. Got to stop the terrorists where they train, I guess, in the colleges and universities of America.

In response to a Freedom of Information Act request, the Department of Defense has released documents that show wider surveillance of student organizations than previously reported, the Servicemembers Legal Defense Network has reported.

On April 11th PageOneQ reported that the Pentagon had admitted to conducting surveillance of groups protesting the military's Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy for gays and lesbians in the armed forces.

The new FOIA request yielded information about an undercover investigation by the Pentagon on acitivities into student groups protesting the war at State University of New York at Albany (SUNY Albany), William Paterson University in New Jersey, Southern Connecticut State University and the University of California at Berkeley, reports SLDN.

The Pentagon is doing domestic spying?

And here we were blithely discussing posse comitatus and the proprieties of sending national guard units to the Mexicxan border.

How do you spell "police state"? (For the challenged: T-H-E B-U-S-H R-E-G-I-M-E.)
