Rummy's World

Also from the St. Petersburg Times, a report on another of the critical menaces to national security from which the Cheney administration is protecting us. From I spy ... a credible threat? by Susan Aschoff St. Petersburg Times 03/18/06:

Rich Hersh remembers the day he found out he was a threat to national security.

Hersh belongs to Truth Project Inc., an activist group that visits South Florida high schools to peaceably counter the pitch from military recruiters. Last fall, an NBC News crew came to Florida and informed the group that they were on a Defense Department list of hundreds of individuals and groups that had been under surveillance by the military.

The NBC crew brought some pages they'd obtained from the list. They pointed to a single entry:

13 - Nov - 04. Counter Military Recruitment Planning Meeting, Lake Worth.

Credible threat.

Don't you feel much safer now? Quaker activists for peace, heck, that's clearly a prime recruiting ground for Sunni Muslim Salafist zealots!

Hersh's view: "I think the reason they surveil us is because it's much easier than finding a terrorist".
