The ACLU is trying to find out why the student's groups were targeted and when, as well as what else is out there. Seriously, if Quakers are targeted, who will be next? The Amish? They do have the same type of beards as Osama and that whole no electricity thing is pretty weird. And they're trying to get this info right quick because with congress about to have hearings on the NSA eavesdropping thing and the Patriot Act, they want this to be debated before congress moves onto other things.

In all honesty, we don't understand why the story about the Pentagon spying on anti-war protests isn't a bigger story. Granted the NSA story is a bit sexier and full of enough grey area to fill an entire month of Hannity & Colmes shout-fests, but the TALON story is far more troublesome. Besides the fact it's way more Nixonian, just what the hell is the Pentagon doing spying on tree hugging hippies? Don't they have anything else to worry about, like, say, running a war? Hello?
