Domestic surveillance is outta control

as if we didn't already know that...
In response to a Freedom of Information Act request, the Department of Defense has released documents that show wider surveillance of student organizations than previously reported, the Servicemembers Legal Defense Network has reported.

[...]

The documents released today indicate that e-mails sent by various student groups were intercepted and monitored by the government and that the government collected reports from seemingly undercover agents who attended at least one student protest at Southern Connecticut State University. None of the reports in the documentation, however, indicated any terrorist activity by the students who were monitored.

there is every reason to believe that, as i've repeatedly stated, ALL of our electronic communication is being filtered and sniffed... these bits and pieces that keep popping up are just the tip of the iceberg, i'm convinced...
