Declassified FBI document labels protestors as "Terrorists"...

[thegodfather]

Well, for all of those reading who consistently defend the governments "war on terror," and are advocates of the current administration it's my hope that this declassified letter will change your opinion advocating these policies and of supporting politicians who advocate such policies. We can be told over and over and over that the Patriot Act and various other pieces of legislation are ONLY for use against terrorists. However, this memo proves otherwise.

I guess I missed were it labeled the group as a terrorist group.

I thought the fact that it was a "Joint Terrorism Task Force," as well as the title of the document "International Terrorist Matters," made it pretty self evident that the FBI was suggesting that the group was a terrorist organization. The fact they even did research into such an organization, and said that this is a "group who opposes the Iraq war," should be frightening enough.

"group who opposes the Iraq war," should be frightening enough.

I just assumed that it was the name of some government agency. But I feel the same way you do, it is kinda scary and in my opinion a waste of tax dollars and man power.

Terrorism charges filed in alleged plot to disrupt GOP convention
Eight suspects are accused of planning violent acts to block Republican delegates.

ST. PAUL, MINN. — As clashes between police and protesters subsided outside the Republican National Convention on Wednesday, county prosecutors charged eight people with conspiring to cause a riot as part of a terrorist act.

The eight suspects were arrested in connection with raids of homes in the Twin Cities that were conducted by the Ramsey County Sheriff's Department before the convention began.

The charges are highly unusual because of the terrorism aspect. Ramsey County Atty. Susan Gaertner said she could recall no such case in her 24 years with the prosecutor's office.

"This was the most serious charge that we found that was supported by the evidence," she said. "The terrorism aspect is appropriate. This is not your average criminal charge, but this was not your average crime."

If convicted, the suspects could each face up to five years in jail, a $10,000 fine, or both.

Bruce Nestor, president of the Minnesota chapter of the National Lawyers Guild, which is representing several of the suspects, called the charges ridiculous.

The accusations are "an effort to equate publicly stated plans to blockade traffic and disrupt the RNC as being the same as acts of terrorism," Nestor said in a statement.

Seven of the eight arrested are being held at Ramsey County Jail on $75,000 bond: Max Jacob Specktor, 19; Erik Charles Oseland, 21; Eryn Chase Trimmer, 23; Luce Guillen-Givins, 24; Nathanael David Secor, 26; Robert Joseph Czernik, 32; and Garrett Scott Fitzgerald, 25. Fitzgerald is from Kasota, Minn.; the others are from Minneapolis.

Monica Rachel Bicking, 23, also of Minneapolis, was released earlier in the week, pending further investigation. A warrant was issued Wednesday for her arrest.

According to the complaint filed in Ramsey County District Court, the eight suspects are leading members of the RNC Welcoming Committee, a self-described anarchist coalition. For at least two years, the group mapped out violent methods to disrupt the convention and prevent delegates from entering the Xcel Energy Center in downtown St. Paul, according to the filing. The group allegedly had considered barricading bridges, spraying delegates with urine and possibly kidnapping delegates.

The arrests follow a nearly yearlong investigation by the sheriff's office and federal law enforcement agencies. An undercover investigator and informants were used to monitor the group, according to court documents. The inquiry found that the group had connected with sympathetic factions in dozens of cities to recruit volunteers and raise funds, according to the documents.





I agree that those people are not choir boys and when they pull off their stunts those assholes need to be arrested and charged with APPROPRIATE crimes (like assault, vandalism, disturbing the peace)... but equating their stupid crap with terrorism? Whats next? Get charged with terrorism for spitting on the sidewalk?

Looks like the definition of terrorism is getting wider and wider... this is a hell of a slippery slope.
