Pentagon Admits Domestic Spying on War Protestors |
Pentagon admits errors in spying on protesters

The Department of Defense admitted in a letter obtained
by NBC News on Thursday that it had wrongly added peaceful
demonstrators to a database of possible domestic terrorist threats.
The letter followed an NBC report focusing on the
Defense Department's Threat and Local Observation Notice,
or TALON, report.
Acting Deputy Undersecretary of Defense Roger W. Rogalski's
letter came in reply to a memo from Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt.,
who had demanded answers about the process of identifying
domestic protesters as suspicious and removing their names
when they are wrongly listed.
In 2003, the Defense Department directed a little-known agency,
Counterintelligence Field Activity (CIFA), to establish and
"maintain a domestic law enforcement database that includes
information related to potential terrorist threats directed
against the Department of Defense." Then-Deputy Secretary of
Defense Paul Wolfowitz also established TALON at that time.
The original NBC News report, from December, focused on
a secret 400-page Defense Department document
listing more than 1,500 "suspicious incidents" across the
country over a 10-month period.
One such incident was a small group of activists meeting in a
Quaker Meeting House in Lake Worth, Fla., to plan a protest
against military recruiting at local high schools.
