NSA Extensively Spied on Baltimore Peace Group

HeadlineJan 11, 2006

This news on the Bush administration’s domestic spy program — the website RawStory.com has obtained government documents showing the National Security Agency spied on the Pledge of Resistance-Baltimore, a Quaker-linked peace group. The documents indicate the group was extensively monitored, with detailed records of their travel movements, driving routes — and even the helium balloons they used in a protest. On one day, the group’s movements were reported every 15 minutes. And at a protest during “Keep Space for Peace Week”, the NSA planned to conduct ariel surveillance and have a Weapons of Mass Destruction Rapid Response Team nearby.
