Abstract

"This Just In" piece reporting that the FBI has on file copies of e-mails sent by organizers of Peace Action Maine and Maine Veterans for Peace, telling members about anti-war demonstrations in 2005. Shenna Bellows, executive director of the Maine Civil Liberties Union (MCLU), said that national security is being used as an excuse to target peace groups. In a separate privacy matter, on October 27, the MCLU formally opposed moving the "United States v. Adams" case to California. In the case, the federal Department of Justice has sued to prevent the Maine Public Utilities Commission from investigating whether Verizon cooperated with the NSA's nationwide program monitoring Americans' phone records.
