Last night, NBC reported that the U.S. Defense Department is conducting ongoing surveillance of American peace activists. A 400 page department document acquired by the network lists more than 1,500 “suspicious incidents” by a variety of anti-war and counter-recruitment organizations over the last ten months, while an eight page document (available on MSNBC as a PDF file) lists 43 anti-war meetings across the nation.
This database lists the date of occurrence, date of report, threat status, and other information on each of the surveillance instances. While most of the listed events are in larger states such as California, New York, and Texas, one details a planned protest in Madison last spring.
