The Federal Bureau of Intimidation

It's certainly worrying when the FBI spies on groups like the ACLU and Greenpeace, as this article, from the Greenpeace site asks, "Who's next? The Democratic Party? The New York Times?" The FBI should focus its investigations on real criminals.

The ACLU filed a lawsuit in US federal court charging that the FBI is wrongfully withholding information about its investigations of peaceful organizations. The FBI has thousands of pages on Greenpeace, the ACLU, and other organisations but to date less than 20 pages have been received under Freedom of Information Act requests.
