The FBI gave inaccurate information to Congress and the public when it claimed a possible terrorism link to justify surveilling an anti-war rally in Pittsburgh, the Justice Department's inspector general said Monday in a report on the bureau's scrutiny of domestic activist groups.The FBI also put nonviolent activists on the terrorism watch list in order to justify the FBI's spying on people.
I don't know why the IG just didn't come out and state the obvious: The FBI lied.
Of course, Roger Clemens will probably go to prison for lying to Congress. The FBI-- not so much.
The FBI is going back to the bad old days when it investigated people whose only beef was disagreeing with the government. It is baffling as to why the Obama Administration is so interested in giving the FBI even more latitude, when the FBI clearly cannot be trusted to color within the lines as it is.
