SocraticGadfly: Did the FBI spy on you?

Did the FBI spy on you?

Post 9/11, just like in the Sixties, if you were a peace activist, or some other liberal activist, the answer could be yes. This time around, it may even have labeled you a terrorist. Oh, but the AG's investigation allegedly found nothing criminal. Obama's looking forward, not backward, again.

And, as with torture at Guantanamo, Abu Ghraib and elsewhere, "looking forward" = "enabling." It's one more step away from the United States being a nation with the vaunted "rule of law," one more way for us to be called hypocritical.
